Shishkin was considered in a special order, he fully pleaded guilt and concluded a pre -trial agreement on cooperation with the investigation. As the prosecutor said at the meeting, Shishkin provided the investigation with information about himself and other participants in the “network”, about the structure of the organization, the place of training and interregional congresses.

The lawyer of the accused Dmitry Dinze emphasized that Shishkin was ready to cooperate with the FSB to establish other community members, and agree that his testimony should be used in other criminal cases.

The defense asked to close the meeting from the audience, as the results of a psychological study were announced on it. He was carried out to confirm that Shishkin was not inclined to terrorism.

What is Penza business

The criminal case of the "terrorist community" network "was instituted in the FSB in October 2017. Then, for a month, Yegor Zorin, Ilya Shakursky, Vasily Kuksov, Dmitry Pchelintsev, Andrei Chernov and Arman Sagynbaev (the last security forces were found in St. Petersburg) were detained in Penza. Two Penza - Maxim Ivankin and Mikhail Kulkov - disappeared and were put on the wanted list; On July 6, it became known that they were detained in Moscow, taken to Penza and arrested. In January, in St. Petersburg, Viktor Filinkov and Igor Shishkin were detained in the same case. On April 11, the charges were brought by another Petersburger - Julia Boyarshinov.

Most of the defendants in the case are anti -fascists and anarchists; Many detainees are also united by a passion for strikbole. The FSBclaims that all those arrested were in the Up -underground organization and intended during the presidential election and the World Cup with the help of explosions to “swing the masses to further destabilize the political situation in the country” and raise armed rebellion. The cells of the "Network" allegedly operated in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Penza and Belarus.

The relatives of the Penza defendants in the case said that during the detention they threw their weapons, and then tortured. Viktor Filinkov , Dmitry Pchelintsev and Ilya Shakursky spoke in detail about torture. In September, Arman Sagynbaev said that he had given confessions under torture. Ilya Kapustin , who was released in the status of a witness, also reported about interrogation using the electric shocker - fearing for his security, he, like the wife of Filinkov, Alexander , went to Finland, where he asked for political asylum.

Pchelintsev and Shakursky claimed that the FSB officers tortured them with an electric shock in the basement of the Penza pre -trial detention center. Shishkin did not declare torture, however, doctors diagnosed him with a fracture of the lower wall of the eye socket, numerous hematomas and abrasions, and the members of the PMC visited Shishkin in a pre -trial detention center recorded numerous traces similar to burns from electric wires. In addition, the defendant Julius Boyarshinovspent several months in the Press-Khats SIZO-6 of the Leningrad Region. There he was beaten several times.

The UK had already refused to initiate criminal cases of torture by Filinkov and Kapustin - the investigator decided that the FSB officers were legally beaten by the FSB, and the traces on the Kapustin’s body were not left from the shocker, from the bite of the bugs .

Part 2 of Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code (participation in the terrorist community), through which the Penza case is initiated and investigated, provides for five to 10 years in prison.
