Judge of the Timiryazevsky District Court of Moscow Olga Levashova extended until February 14 the arrest of the leader of the People’s Militia of Russia Yuri Ekyshev in the case of extremism. It is reported by RIA "Novosti".
"The court ruled: to satisfy the investigation, to extend the measure of restraint in the form of detention by Ekyshev by the accused of Ekyshev until February 14," the judge said.
On November 21, Ekyshev was released from the Moscow pre-trial detention center-3 "Presnya" after the expiration of 1 year of 5 months of the general regime in the previous case. After that, he appeared on the call to the TFR department for interrogation in the new case, also instituted under part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code (excitement of hatred or enmity). The reason for the next persecution of the nationalist was his Monophobic publications, which the investigator dated to time no later than January 24, 2016. . The investigator charged Ekyshev, and then detained him to the court about the extent of the suppression. The activist was called an ambulance to the department.
The next day, Judge Timiryazevsky District Court Maria Akanova arrested Ekysheva , ignoring the State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of Valery Rashkin and the ex-deputy from the same party Vyacheslav Tyotyokin, represented by lawyer Svetlana Vorumanism.
In the case there is a certificate prepared by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to counteract extremism. It states that Ekyshev is the leader of the Minin and Pozharsky People’s Militia, which in 2015 was declared a terrorist organization , as well as the founder of the Parabellum movement, allegedly preparing the armed seizure of power in the country.
In fact, the oppositionist since 2009, after moving to Moscow, was a member of the NOMP headquarters, but the leader of the organization was retired GRU Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov. In 2015, Ekyshev founded and headed another structure - the "People’s Militia of Russia". As for the Parabellum movement, created by the activist also around 2009, it has not actually functioned for a long time.
The case was opened on May 30 this year, but the activist’s defense was notified only in October, after considering the appeal of the verdict in the previous case.
Ekyshev is 53 years old, he is a native of Syktyvkar. In the 1990s, he actively participated in the work of the regional branch of the Russian monarchical public movement in the Komi Republic. Then he moved from the Russian Orthodox Church to the Russian Orthodox Church abroad. Ekyshev established the movement "Orthodox unity" and its printed body - the newspaper "Mirror". He also headed the board of the Interregional Movement "Union of National Renaissance" and oversaw the Komi department of movement against illegal immigration. In 2003, he was nominated to the post of head of the Sysolsky district of Komi, but took second place. In the mid-2000s he was an assistant to the State Duma deputy Dmitry Rogozin.
Ekyshev is also known as a writer. He owns novels, plays, essays, as well as a novel and a movie scene in Russian and Komi languages. Published, in particular, in the journal "Continent".
On November 27, 2006, the Syktyvkar City Court sentenced Ekyshev to one and a half years in a penal colony under Part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code. At the same time, according to the second incriminated article of the Code - 280 (public calls for extremism) - the activist was justified. In violation of the norms, establishing that the convicts to the colony-settlement independently follow the place of serving the term, Ekyshev was detained in the courtroom.
The persecution of Ekyshev was initiated by the head of the regional branch of the Memorial Igor Sazhin. At the same time, after the verdict was issued, Sazhin said that the court decision was not justified, and imprisonment was too severe punishment.
Meanwhile, in December of the same year, a new business was opened against Ekyshev. On October 1, 2007, the same Syktyvkar City Court declared the Nationalist guilty under Part 1 of Article 282, as well as under Article 150 of the Criminal Code (involving a minor in the commission of a crime). This time, Ekyshev was charged with campaign conversations with youth in the cafe of the village of Vizing, the center of the Sysolsky district, as well as the distribution at a rally in Syktyvkar DPNI leaflets under the name "Pravda about the events in Kondopoga." Given the partial addition of sentences for two cases, the total period appointed to the activist amounted to two years of the penal colony.
In the colony-settlement, the political prisoner wrote the journalistic book "Russia in captivity".
On November 28, 2008, Ekyshev freed himself. Kvachkov personally arrived to meet him.
After the release, the activist settled in Moscow. In November 2010, he became one of the leaders of the Popular Front of the Liberation of Russia. Edited by the ultra -right site "Sturmnost".

In the third case, Ekyshev was detained on June 22, 2016 and sent to a pre -trial detention center five days later. He was again charged with part 1 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code - this time for the publication in 2014 a certain video about Jews. The case was conducted by the investigator of the TFR Denis Gorbashev; In the FSB, the investigation was supervised by the operative Sergei Zhuravley.
