Army in the last act

Theatrical laws suggest the traditional use of a firearm. In accordance with them, as everyone knows, the gun hanging on the stage should sooner or later shoot. And not that the exacting viewer will not understand why it hung there. And Anton Pavlovich will not praise a stupid playwright.

The rules of legal proceedings on the Russian political scene are more complicated than theatrical ones. There, guns or cartridges can shoot them when pronouncing a sentence, but this is not necessary. If there are enough other false accusations, much more serious, then the thrown material evidence of this kind is not required. If there is absolutely nothing to plant a potential political prisoner, but it is necessary to punish, then weapons are often used.

As, for example, in a longtime process of Mikhail Trepashkin, who was going to protect the victims in the case of the explosions of houses in Moscow. But he did not protect, but sat for four years, after the operatives found a gun in time in his car. Or here is a fresh story from the life of the Crimean disagreement Vladimir Balukh. In his Serebryanka, he posted incorrect flags and signs and was eventually punished for "illegal circulation of ammunition and explosives", and now he is still beaten into a pre -trial detention center and a new term is wound.

In court, the chairman of the Karelian “Memorial, Yuri Dmitriev, sagged without movement from the beginning and almost to the very end of the tragicomic criminal play. More precisely, this rusty piece of iron first lay in the ground for many years, then was found during excavations, and after discovered under the Smone in the house of the suspect and under the code name“ Main part of firearms ” The prosecutors were attached to the case, the main part did not cause the main part, since the historian, in addition to the illegal turnover, was much more impressive. regime.

In general, the plan of this performance, whoever composes it - local fighters with the falsification of history for the sake of historical facts or the metropolitan authorities in its total confrontation between the fifth column - was a grandiose in its own way. Here lives in Petrozavodsk a memorial who is digging in our glorious past, looking for mass burials of victims of large terror. He arranges expeditions, publishes books, communicates with foreigners. It is unthinkable to argue with him on historical topics, but you can let it light up.

So this case "about children's pornography" arose, during which citizens were notified that the local historian photographed a minor adopted daughter in a bare form and thereby corrupted her. Then, the results of the examination conducted by seasoned pros from the organization that exposed as extremists of the Bible authors and opened to other customers were published that the slogan “kill the slave” contains a call for violence. In this spirit, it continued until a second examination revealed the absence of signs of a crime in photographs and Dmitriev, having already served more than a year in a pre -trial detention center and washed out for another month in the center. Serbian, was released on a recognizance not to leave. Yesterday the case ended.

He was finally justified by all the "pedophilian" articles, but he was still convicted behind the gun. Having imposed a punishment, fortunately, not with the prison, but only with the "restriction of freedom" of departure from Petrozavodsk. In general, the rifle was adjusted. No wonder he was saved. The fossil cut fired.

To welcome the article, to throw something aggravating, just in case, if the main accusation does not suddenly rush is the usual practice in our political, and in other ships. Nevertheless, the case of Yuri Dmitriev should be recognized as unique. This, as it were, is more sweaty, by mannerism, this whimsical, inconsistency of this when choosing articles by investigators and prosecutors greatly surprised the audience. And the judge of the Petrozavodsky City Court Marina Nosova (very strict, they say, the judge) pleased her, or something, with the humaneity of the prosecutors. They so asked to punish the historian at least for something, and if it is impossible for pedophilia, then we brought a fragment of the gun and hemmed to business ... She regretted them.

Actually, all our political courts are a wild disgrace, but this one, amazing the rare combination of slander, designated some new milestone in the domestic theater of the absurd. However, it was not without a happy ending, which is so atypical for our plays, equally absurd and realistic. Including for Chekhov, who combined both traditions in his plays.

In short, a shot from a gun hanging on the stage from the very beginning, sounded under a curtain at the same time as a self -shot of a punitive system and as a salute in honor of the liberation of an innocent person. So the classic, who advised the dramaturs not to hang out of extra objects on the stage and did not spare cartridges for the heroes, would probably be satisfied with such a paradoxical ending and praised the unknown, scrap writers of the criminal tragicomedy in the Petrozavodsky City Court. Together with artists in prosecutorial and judges. Able to shoot so beautifully.
