"I don't want to fight"

Evgeny Makarov, who spoke about torture in the Yaroslavl colony - what happened to him, which he dreamed about to will and how he relates to those who tortured him

On New Year's Eve, it is customary to draw victories and defeats, and one of our largest victories in the past year is, of course, the case of the Yaroslavl colony No. 1. Life is a brilliant director, she somehow built the internal dramaturgy of this story that at least tomorrow remove the blockbuster. Its plot will, of course, be uncomplicated - but it always happens in all the Old Testament cases.

There is a prison where a year after year, the vein sadists beat and torture prisoners. And there are an inseparable three of heroes among these prisoners, two of which are sitting completely on lawlessness, and the third - yes, a man of difficult fate. And so, while others are silent, these three try to shout to will and talk about what is happening in their colony. And every such attempt turns into an even more terrible hell: new torture, a new wader.

One of these torture is shot on video, moreover, the jailers themselves, for purely sadistic reasons. The prisoner who is tortured in the video is the very person of a difficult fate - he learns that the record came to friends in the wild. (Here in the film there will be an additional plot branch that reveals the intrigue, how exactly the recording has flowed; there it will be about disinterested risk and nobility.) The hero is tormented and tormented: on the one hand, the publication of the video is a chance to shout to people, and on the other hand, a mortal risk. After all, he is still in the hands of villains. But observing the suffering and humiliation of other prisoners, the hero decides to publish a video.

And-the whole world stands on the ears, everyone will find out about the Russian “Guantanamo”, Yaroslavl IK-1 overnight.

The last shots are unchanging for blockbusters of the happy end. The villains are arrested, and the main character goes beyond the gates of the prison, where a crowd of enthusiastic journalists awaits him.

In this synopsis of the imaginary film there is not the slightest stretch, except for one: there is no talk of any happy end yet.

Of the 20 jailers, whose individuals were established in connection with a criminal case of torture, only 15 were arrested. The decision was not made against the rest. And the fate of the protagonist, the prisoner Evgeny Makarov, freed from the colony on October 2 upon serving the deadline, is also quite foggy.

In the last New Year's days, “New” went to his house, in a small clean apartment in the working village of Lyapinka on the outskirts of Yaroslavl, where Zhenya lives with her mother to drink coffee with him and remind him of the obligations that the hero now lifers to the rest of the world.

Here are the main thoughts of Makarov who had been who had been having a spent eight years about what happened to him, and about what awaits him ahead.

About the future

I now have supervision, three years after the release. I can even be imprisoned for non -compliance. I was already banned in advance for the New Year for Christmas trees to go to public places. I can't appear anywhere. They tied me to this address from ten in the evening to six in the morning. And so I don’t know how to go to my friend? In general, everyone forbid me. She calls me over the weekend-but I can’t. On weekdays, she works from 9 to 18, and that I will go to the other end of the district to sit with her for two hours, and then return home to ten? What is the point? Just ride on buses like that.

I can work, yes. But I won’t go to anyone. Where would I like? Of course, I would like to do some human rights activities. But yet I can’t do anything with it. There is no such opportunity so far. From the age of 17, I spent in prison. I have no education, I finished school in prison. At first I would like to at least get the right to get a car, a means of transportation. And then see what's next.

When they planted me, I did not think about anything. Men generally think little. At least at the age of 17 I did not think. I hooligan. Then, in prison, of course, he already comprehend everything. The deadline was beneficial to me. The worldview has changed, I grew up. And I talked there only with adults. Someone successful, someone is unsuccessful. But with whom he was sitting - mostly good people were.

Most sits for an accident. The case of chance-or just in life something went wrong.

Someone began to drink, someone else, someone just a moron-he wants to fight or something else. And I - no, I don't want to fight. I already tapped, I have enough.

About the decision

That's when this video appeared, I even had joy. I thought I was weighing all the pros and cons of his publication. I realized that “for” is more. That in the camp the boys will be easier. I realized: well, that's it, now everything will be different, all their idiotic answers-reproaches-everything will turn differently now. They wrote: "Yes, he knocked on the club himself." And in the end, what happened.

Nepomny ( served in the Yaroslavl IK-1 from 2015 to 2015, the period associated with the events in Bolotnaya Square- approx. Ed. ) And Vakhapov ( served in the Yaroslavl IK-1 from 2011 to 2018, the term prescribed in connection with the factory accusation of molestation of minors. "New" many times wrote about this case- approx. Ed. **)-good guys who are always always the guys who are always the guys who are always the guys who are always the guys who are always Ready to help. We were sitting in the same isolator. For which I sat - I know - I know. For Bolotnaya Square. I know that riot police beat him, and for this he was imprisoned: an attack on an employee. I do not know what goal they pursued on this Bolotnaya. But if the goal was fair, then why not?

In the insulator, we sat in different cells and squealed. There is a corridor, continuing, and the cameras along it go. You are alone in the cell. And in the neighboring ones - Vanya Nepomnya, say, Vakhapov. Also in single. And we all already knew each other: they knew me, and Vakhapova knew, and I met Vanya. Well, as it happens there, in short, if? You have to yell very loudly there. They took someone, beaten. Screams begins. "Why? Who? For what? Who was beaten? " And so I shout: "I will write." Vakhapov, let's say: “I will also write. A lawyer will come - we will write all together the three of us. Everything, we write - and do not refuse. Yes? - Yes! " And then it happens there ...

About villains

Now they are already sitting and howling: they don’t have medicine there, all sick. Only now they thought that they were dependent on children, old mother. They just now remembered this. Before that, it didn't matter to them. So let them sit. Although I know that they still go, they are treated there differently there.

In Yaroslavl on the "barn" ( pre -trial detention center No. 1 of the city of Yaroslavl - approx. Ed. ) They. In the same place where they came to beat those who are contained in a pre -trial detention center. Separately from the people, of course, they are sitting, their state protects.

I have many friends who served in the army. And in the army, too, like a prison, everything is arranged. There are also so offended. He washed the toilets with a toilet brush, and then he will serve his term - and he goes to work in the Federal Penitentiary Service or the police, he takes out his anger at everyone.

They have it as it is: who was more harmful more - he gets better, he receives stars. For example, you wake up in the morning, you want to drink tea or coffee, and this moron says: “Do not give him boiling water. Give him just dry coffee. ” And these inspectors are standing, so they smile at you: "And we will not give you boiling water, eat this coffee dry." And you think: here is a freak.

And someone is and behaves differently. It depends on the heart, depends on the person himself.

We are not what they are. We are people, we will not be like it. They are trying to build good things now. Although I feel sorry for their relatives, parents. I understand all this, my relatives also went through it. But I will not lower them like that.

About the will

What did you want when I was released? I just wanted to relax. No, I haven't gotten drunk yet. Drink - drunk, but did not get drunk. And so ... he was everywhere, and was in clubs, and was in restaurants. And he walked with the boys, and walked with the girls. There were guys who wrote to me there - I immediately when I went out, thanked everyone. It is important when someone writes, supports.

I missed everything. For food normal, according to the same coffee, by house, along the sofa. There you cannot lie down for the whole day from 5 in the morning to 9 pm. I especially miss the sofa. I’m lying, yes.

I slowly master it. Now I will insert a tooth. They did not treat them at all, but he was sick with me, began to fall apart. It was only possible to tear out there - and now I had to tear it out. I could sit for a year. Now, of course, I already think: it would be necessary to tolerate and save it, but here to cure. And then I thought: I have to endure it for the whole winter. And I decided to get it better right away.

In general, nothing has changed in the wild. When I sat down, these Internet were not so common. But it is not that surprising me. It is clear, while I was sitting, a whole network with the Internet was built here. Technologies are moving forward. And life - life has not changed, people have not changed. And also they all think, as they thought before that, the same things, the same that cared them before.

People are generally good.

Also these employees. Maybe they will find forgiveness there. Before God, in front of someone there. Although, of course, let them go, think, look at how she, life, looks there.

PS

Evgeny Makarov asked to publish hello and congratulations to former cellmates in the newspaper, who will undoubtedly receive and read this “new” number: “Hold on, boys!”
