The ex -husband turned Svetlana's life into a existing hell. But the police are in no hurry to protect her and children: domestic violence is now decriminalized
“Come in, just faster, I ask you ... Now we run,” Svetlana Zinovieva meets me in the entrance of her own house in Vologda and lets me running up the stairs, slowing down, only to look around the corner and check if the danger awaits there. There is no danger. On the move, Svetlana explains that the previous day turned out to be not so successful and uninvited guests turned out to be a lot: state fire supervision, guardianship authorities, as well as a former husband. Opening the door with an obviously broken lock, Svetlana hides in the apartment and closes the door, tying it to the handle of the next door with a rope. Any -entered house is greeted by a wise design of copper plates ringing from any touch: “He constantly breaks out the locks, I no longer put new ones. This is our alarm, ”explains Svetlana.
Behind the alarm, the woman is hiding from her ex -husband - Alexander Glebov. Svetlana says that after several years of domestic violence, she left her husband with her children. Alexandra did not suit this, and in recent years he has been trying to take away the children from his ex -wife, and Svetlana is trying to hide from Alexander: from his parents, in the crisis center of Vologda and an impromptu alarm of copper plates. When asked why Svetlana returned home from a crisis center, she confidently replies:
"I think I should not run and hide, let the rapist run"However, the director of the crisis center for women Vologda Olga Tarlakova suggests that Svetlana is awkward, when his ex -husband is in a crisis center: “He tried to break through to her and the children, frightened the other wards of the center. Yes, and his children too: his daughter was hidden in the nightstand. "
Now Svetlana lives in an apartment, where she used to live with her ex -husband. With her, three of her children: nine -year -old Zhenya, five -year -old Sasha and three -year -old Igor. “Here, look, they have their own rooms here, but they are afraid and sleeping together, and I go to bed and go to work only when they fall asleep,” Svetlana shows to sleeping children. He says they do not remain alone in the room, follow her, wherever she goes. A two-level apartment with a shabby, but obviously once with a love of repairs is littered with toys, but there is almost no furniture. The family also has almost no money: Svetlana is interrupted by remote parties (translations), she is afraid to leave children alone. “Forced savings - in the bathroom after swimming, we don’t drain the water yet, I will still water the flowers,” Svetlana explains in an apologizing voice. On the windows are really pots with flowers and tubs with potatoes and onions. Svetlana runs around the house in an old robe, apologizing for the mess, showing along the way: here is the cabinet is almost empty - all the clothes remained in the rented apartment, where Svetlana and her children moved away from her husband: “He went to the mistress, talked about our divorce, so she now does not give me things. He says he came to negotiate with her, but I did not, ”says Svetlana; There is clearly a rosette out of the wall more than once, an inept glue glued to its place: “This is the former came, tore off. And he took the stove with a washing machine, after that he calls the custody and shows how we live poorly-without a stove with a washing machine, ”Svetlana continues to lament; Here in the hallway, a package of products: "This is the lawyer, so ashamed." The ex -husband of Svetlana claims that she throws her things herself.
Svetlana just in case stands behind the curtain photo: Elizabeth NesterovaRecently, Svetlana underwent surgery to remove a cancer tumor from the thyroid gland - the disease broke the hormonal background, the woman is at times too emotional. This gives Alexander the reason to call the ex -wife of a crazy one, despite the psychiatric examinations successfully successfully passed by her.
The first of the children is waking up the eldest - Zhenya. He descends from the second floor to the living room and lays down on a sports mat: “I’ll just lie here near my mother, do not pay attention, please,” says.
Eugene quickly dared and wanted to participate in a story about how his father comes to them: “On the street we are sometimes guarding us. But as soon as I see him, I immediately run to hide with my brother and sister, ”Bravada feels in my voice.
According to Svetlana, the last time the children came running to look for protection from the guard of the Sberbank branch. “And once Zhenya walked from the store and met him. So he did not leave a package of food, he ran with him, he says, you need food at home, imagine, ”Svetlana whispers. Then she tells how often they have guardianship authorities and what they say to the children: “They explained to her daughter here that the orphanage is not so bad, maybe even better than with her mother.” Eugene listens carefully and adds: “Mom, do you remember how I did not give us to take away? I slapped the district police officer in the eye, and they left. ” Svetlana nods in the affirmative: "We live like during the war."
The second side of the conflict, Alexander Glebov, also knows about this story. In a telephone conversation with “such matters”, he himself recalls her: “She sits only on the Internet, does not deal with children at all. What should I do with such children then? Zhenya, here, hit the district police officer, seven years later he will go to jail for such a thing, and she does not care. He would have to send him to school, he almost doesn’t come out of the house! ” - Alexander explains his claims to his ex -wife.
Alexander accuses Svetlana of teaching the children to extinguish the fire at home, for which she made fire in the bathroom - where there were dark traces of soot. Grigory Polyakov, head of the guardianship and trusteeship of Vologda, gave in the regional court the testimony that Svetlana staged him an explanation: he and her children put chemical experiments and she taught them to extinguish the fire. “I told him directly that there would be a statement. I will put him in jail, will not turn his back, ”Alexander has a fever, outraged that his young children played with fire.
During the conversation, the female voice tells him - Anna’s new wife, Alexander explains in response to my question.
Svetlana wanted to send her son to school: “But as soon as she gave him to some school, he ( Alexander-approx. TD ) immediately came and took him from there,” Sighs Olga Tarlakova. Be that as it may, now the boy is studying remotely at the Moscow school: he makes lessons, teaches poetry. Zhenya told me the poem “Mom is sleeping, she is tired”, and Svetlana showed her schedule of Zhenya - the handwriting of the boy is almost calligraphic.
Svetlana, door and homegrown alarm photo: Elizabeth NesterovaFive -year -old Sasha woke up after Zhenya. She went down behind the comb and, sitting next to her brother on Mata, politely greeted: "Hello, I'm Sasha." As it turned out, Sasha learns to sing - Svetlana herself graduated from a music school and is now engaged in her daughter. Sasha wanted to tell a fairy tale about Kolobok. “Sasha, straighten your back, speak beautifully, do not grumble,” the mother whispers. The fairy tale grew up by a couple of new characters, but most of all the performer was a Kolobok song. Just at that moment the youngest child woke up - three -year -old Igor went down to breakfast.
“Look, what a scar is on our forehead, like Harry Potter’s,” says Svetlana, running a hand over his son's forehead.
- Where?
“Well, what do you think? ..” Svetlana sighs, smearing jam on bread for Igor.
“This is when Glebov came, it was scary,” Igor himself suddenly explains in a whisper, a little burping.
Svetlana shows photos of children: they are “armed” with toy hammers - they are preparing for the arrival of her fatherA nine -year -old wife really wants to tell about insects and frogs - he knows almost everything about them and brought a book, show what frogs are poisonous. At this moment, Svetlana reminds the children that yesterday they did not put things in order and need to collect toys. “You listen to Zhenya, and I will get quietly,” Sasha readily suggests. Igor tramples with jam sandwiches. Svetlana returns to the story of a marriage with Alexander.
Svetlana and Alexander met on the Internet on December 14, 2008. Svetlana recalls that Alexander attracted her with determination and thoroughness of intentions: “I had to have three dates that day. At the first there was a man who offered champagne and sex in the entrance. At the next date, he ( Alexander - approx. TD ), against the background of the first, he made such a pleasant impression that I did not go on the third date. Now I think that it was there that a really good man was waiting for me, ”recalls Svetlana. According to her, Alexander very quickly spoke about the children, they began to prepare for pregnancy, and began to lead the common economy. Svetlana moved to him, in her apartment at that time there was a repair. “In the end, we got married two months before the birth of the first -born,” recalls Svetlana. “I only later found out that he was pulling, because he had to record the summer cottage on himself, but not to be issued as a acquired in marriage.”
According to Svetlana, Alexander's friends said that "sometimes happens to him." What happens - the girl did not understand. “The following story was the first bell: we were driving in his old dilapidated car, I wanted to open the window, and the handle was broken. He was so angry that he simply tore her, but quickly apologized, ”says Svetlana and adds that at the dawn of her relationship, when she had not yet depended on her husband, he often made concessions,“ he was almost perfect, he was tuned to the family, however, he once told me that pregnancy was not a reason for marriage. ” When Svetlana went on maternity leave, Alexander still offered to get married. “At this time, I myself paid for repairs in my apartment, it was his requirement. True, he issued part of the contracts with the repairmen on his own behalf, he said that he would follow. And now, the part of this repairs in the division of property claims, because the documents have his name, ”says Svetlana thoroughly and simply.
The husband put Svetlana Sinyak, she decided that since he was in the form of a wing, she would draw a second wing to her photo: Elizaveta NesterovaWhen the first son was to be born, a dispute broke out between the spouses: Alexander did not want to let his wife give birth to a hospital: “But I still left, the first child, you never know what. But he no longer let me go with his daughter - I gave birth to her in the bathhouse in the country, with the third, all the more - right here, there was a birth in the bathroom. But at least he allowed the midwife to bring. ” After the birth of her first son, Svetlana fell out of work for two months: “Although I even worked in the maternity hospital, I was on the phone, I had my own business - a bureau of translations,” the woman says. At the time of her absence, she found a replacement for herself - a girl who eventually took away from Svetlana almost all customers. Svetlana decided to invest in her husband’s business - several times increased the income of the enterprise for the repair of tower cranes: “Even when I was lying with my first son, I read a book about the tower cranes and studied the issue,” Svetlana smiles. In parallel, Svetlana continued to earn extra money in order to pay a mortgage for her apartment, in which her husband refused to invest. “When he found out that I had no money, we quarreled terribly, he actually abandoned us, and I and I left my parents. And then - in 2010 - he made the first attempt to take my son from me, intimidating me with a psychiatric hospital and a criminal case, ”recalls Svetlana. But the spouses managed to make peace: Alexander convinced Svetlana that he realized everything: “It is interesting that in April we made peace with him, but in May he still insisted on divorce - such as from the principle. And then it turned out that at that time we built the bath together, ennobled the site in the country, but - out of marriage, so I can’t apply for it, ”Svetlana smiles sadly.
For almost two years they lived in a divorce. But the family went to the resort, Alexander convinced Svetlana that everything was fine, that they needed a second child. Svetlana became pregnant. “I then read it that there are such cycles in violence: either violence, then the so -called honeymoon. And so, women in the memoirs hold on to these honey months, ”says Svetlana. The marriage was again issued two days before the birth of the daughter. “And after that the pressure began. He told me that I was sick and fat, that no one needs me, - Svetlana says still calmly. - With money, too, everything was cunning. It seems that we had money, even to the resort. But when I said that my daughter needs to buy panties, he ordered her to put her brother's underpants. As a result, my parents bought a lot or I am for childcare allowance. ”
According to Svetlana, talking about money sometimes ended that Alexander locked her with the children in the apartment and went hunting, taking Svetlana's passport just in case. Talking about divorce began again. “I gripped. I sold my apartment, then we bought this, putting maternity capital into it. But one quarter of the apartment belongs to the former. And he, as it were, has the right to break here. Although we agreed that with our common money he would buy a separate housing in the house opposite to come to visit the children, and give his share to the third child. And he bought an apartment. But he never gave a share of his son, ”says Svetlana. Alexander himself explains this like this: “I suggested that it give my part to her alimony many times, but for some reason she refuses.”
Inscription in the entrance photo: Elizabeth NesterovWhen the issue with the parting of the spouses was finally resolved, Alexander took the eldest son and took him to the cottage, where he, according to Svetlana, lived in the bath for four months.
“The site belongs to him, so he didn’t let anyone go there, he said, private property. Once in winter I climbed over the fence to see my son, but he did not give it to me. Wherever I complained, but everyone told me that he is dad, how to ban him, ”the woman is indignant. It was possible to return the child only by complying with Alexander’s requirements: to pick up a statement from the police, not to claim alimony and return to him. Svetlana said that she was ready to live together, but not as a husband and wife: “I agreed to wash and cook for him, but all this time I had to hold a siege: he demanded the fulfillment of marital duty. There were ... violent actions. It was already bad with the money then, but I was still able to send my daughter to the kindergarten, and the eldest to school, although he wanted me to deal with them myself. ” Svetlana tried to complain about the violence of her husband, but they waved that they would not climb into marital affairs. And Svetlana escaped - to her parents in the city of Bui.
Alexander appeared very quickly there. Svetlana says that he tracked her iPhone through the application. When the ex -wife left on business, Alexander went to take the children from his grandfather with his grandmother. Svetlana's father tried to stop the man, then Alexander splashed into his eyes from the pepper spray. When Svetlana’s mother was in his way with the words that she would not let him in, he sprayed her eyes.
According to Alexander himself, he did not touch anyone with his hands, the elderly fell themselves while they ran after him. In any case, as a result of the fall, Svetlana's mother broke her hand. “Then, the police were asked how I myself think whether I acted like a man. I think it was a manly way to hit, but then then they would immediately start a criminal case on me, but they need it. It just didn’t have to run after me, I would take the elder and give money to the youngest. It just didn’t have to touch me, ”Alexander explains.
Room where Svetlana lives with children photo: Elizabeth NesterovaHe claims that initially the conflict with his wife happened because of her work: “She decided to write books, let me read, but I honestly told her that this is nonsense, so she was offended,” the man said. In his opinion, Svetlana sets up children against him: “They, as they see me, immediately scream and run away. That's what she taught them, ”the father of three children states. And adds: “She's crazy, did you read her blog in general? He writes fairy tales about some swan who talks to demons. He calls himself an introvert. And she has no scissors, so she again cut her hair with a knife, did you read to her in VKontakte? Read, ”Alexander says enthusiastically.
Since the final break, he comes to his ex-wife only with the camera and "preferably with someone else." Svetlana said that the last time Alexander broke the lock on the front door when he came with his friend, who also had a camera. “Well, yes, broke,” confirms Alexander. -Well, this is my apartment, too, I have the right to break. Then we asked her to open it in a good way, she did not open it, I had to do it. We entered, she and the children immediately screams, began to throw everyone into me. In order to stop this ugly hysteria, I had to quickly look around and leave. ”
According to Alexander, he needs a video as evidence in court - to defend himself from unfair accusations. The director of the crisis center Olga Tarlakov, Alexander even sued himself in the case of slander and, according to the woman, now writes to her SMS with threats, hinting that he has a “roof”. Alexander claims that all the words of Tarlakova, including the accusations of attacking her and threatened - lies: “She accused me of being beaten. And he just ran up the stairs and fell. I recorded this on the video! Now, you won’t be accused, ”explains the need to have a camera Alexander.
Svetlana, too, has repeatedly declared the police about attacks and beatings from her ex -husband. По ее словам, Александр однажды напал и на ее адвоката по гражданским делам — в том числе поцарапал ей машину. В полиции все отмахиваются: «Иногда говорят, я сама себе синяки наставила. Они издеваются: говорят, что я их часто вызываю, потому что с ними флиртую. А у меня уже аллергия на их форму. Но как не вызывать, когда он в дом ломится и угрожает», — говорит Светлана и добавляет, что однажды они отказались приехать, но участковый позже зашел и постучался в дверь, а когда ему не открыли, решил, что бывшие супруги помирились, и ушел. «То есть, я сообщаю об угрозах, а он уходит, когда дверь не открыли. А вдруг меня убили?» — возмущается Светлана.
По словам женщины, Александр душил ее, избивал и угрозами заставлял писать расписки об отказе от алиментовКогда Светлана заявила об этом в полиции, там посмотрели на ее синяки и ответили: «Ну, 116 статья — декриминализована».
7 февраля 2017 года президентом был подписан федеральный закон, согласно которому за нанесение побоев или совершение иных насильственных действий в отношении близких исключается уголовная ответственность. По словам директора кризисного центра для женщин Вологды Ольги Тарлаковой, последствия у принятия такого закона чудовищные: «Статистику это, может, и улучшило, но руки домашним насильникам только развязало», — считает она. Светлана тоже говорит: «Они мне так и заявляют: «Вы же не покалечены». То есть, пока я хотя бы ползти к ним могу, они ничего не сделают».
Дети спят Фото: Елизавета НестероваСейчас у Светланы есть адвокат, которого ей предоставила правозащитница Мари Давтян. На Александра заведено общее дело по нескольким статьям: части первой статьи 119 (Угроза убийством или причинением тяжкого вреда здоровью — прим. ТД), усеченной части 1 статьи 117 (Причинение физических или психических страданий путем систематического нанесения побоев либо иными насильственными действиями — прим. ТД) и по части 1 статьи 296 (Хулиганство, то есть грубое нарушение общественного порядка — прим. ТД). «Примерно через 50 заявлений дело возбудят, ещё через 50 оно пойдёт в суд. Доказательства не нужны, так как, если заявлений много, пусть и от одного лица, они сами по себе уже есть доказательство. Увы, это так, и мой случай тому яркий пример — она написала на меня около 120 заявлений за год. В СССР это называли кверулянтство, сейчас же такие люди заметно добавляют работы органам», — объясняет Александр. Ему разрешено общаться с детьми только по Skype дважды в неделю, что Александр называет издевательским решением суда: «Она не даёт мне с ними поговорить, врывается в разговор, в итоге я общаюсь не с детьми, а с ней». Параллельно решается вопрос с разделом имущества: «Мне адвокат посоветовал не спускать ему с рук то, что он нас обирает. Мне-то его машины-гаражи не нужны, мне важно, чтобы мы с детьми могли чувствовать себя в безопасности», — объясняет Светлана. И напоследок говорит: «Я себя считаю везучим человеком. Многим гораздо хуже, а я жива, я не в психушке, которой меня столько раз пугали. Главное — я с детьми».
«Если бы даже я сделал что-то плохое, ребёнок уже должен был забыть, у детей не такая длинная память, если бы им не напоминала Зиновьева вечно», — уверен в своей правоте Александр.
