The Moscow District Military Court at its exit meeting in St. Petersburg examined the criminal case of Igor Shishkin, accused of participating in the “Network” terrorist community (part 2 of article 205.4 of the Criminal Code).
The consideration took place in a special manner, which allows not to investigate evidence of the prosecution and not to interrogate witnesses - it fired at three o’clock.
For the first time in the courts in the case of the “network” about the closed mode, the defense was requested. Dmitry Dinze motivated this with considerations of preserving medical secrets (the court had to evaluate the conclusions of psychiatric and psychological examinations) and the fact that all connected cases in St. Petersburg and Penza have not yet been completed. The lawyer also stated that publicity in the media poses a threat to the relatives of his client, whom “aggressive persons” call a traitor on Internet forums.
Shishkin and the prosecution supported the petition, but the court only partially satisfied him.
- The meeting will be open, with the exception of the study of medical documents. This requires the principle of publicity and openness of legal proceedings, ”the presiding judge Vadim Krasnov found.
The prosecutor Alexander Melnikov announced the indictment: Shishkin was accused of participating in the "Interregional Terrorist Community of the Anarchist", created no later than May 2015 in the Penza region and called the "Network". His goal, he considers the accusation, was preparations for the commission of crimes under articles 205, 205.1, 208, 277, 278, 279 of the Criminal Code (“Terrorism”, “Promoting terrorist activity”, “Organization of illegal armed formation”, “encroachment on the life of a statesman”, “violent seizure of power”, “armed rebellion”).
The accused in the case of the “network” Dmitry Pchelintsev “together with the unidentified person” was involved in Ilya Shakursky, Andrei Chernov, Yegor Zorin, Vasily Kuksov, Mikhail Kulkov and other “unidentified persons”, “rallying them and distributing their roles between them”. Pchelintsev entered the Petersburgers Igor Shishkin and Julia Boyarshinov - this happened "no later than July 31, 2016 on the territory of the forest in the Priozersky district of the Leningrad Region." There, Shishkin got acquainted with the documents that were provided to him by the bee and other Penza, which set out the methods of conspiracy and the main areas of the “network”, aimed at changing the existing state structure by carrying out terrorist activities. In these forests, Shishkin, together with Filinkov, Boyarshinov and again with “unidentified persons”, “acquired criminal skills of weapons, manufacturing and using explosive devices, the provision of medical care, tactical techniques for the capture of buildings.” All this is with the aim of committing terrorist activities, the seizure of authorities.

The “criminal skills” listed in the prosecution can also be found on the sites of quite harmless communities of strikball lovers (many of the defendants in the case of the “network” were fond of this sport). The training of such athletes contains “ownership of weapons”, and “conducting a battle in wooded and crossed areas”, and “tactics of capture of buildings”, and “masking techniques”, and “grenades throwing”. And in the scenarios of airsoft games, roles are mentioned that the investigation quite seriously distributed between the accomplices of the “network” - “tactics”, “scout”, “signalman”, “physician”.
But, presumably, Shishkin did not embarrass such tracing paper: he provided the investigation with information about the distribution of such roles between members of the Network community, indicated their true names, “exposed participation”. Within the framework of the pre -trial agreement, “contributed to the disclosure and establishment of crimes” committed both by himself and others - including Filinkov, Boyarshinov, Shakursky, Sagynbaev, Pchelintsev, Zorin.
The information provided by Shishkin made it possible to bring to criminal liability and other persons, ”the prosecutor appreciated the results of his cooperation with the investigation.
Igor Shishkin confirmed that everything forever stated, pleads guilty in full.
Speaking in the debate, Dmitry Dinze added that his client described in detail the structure of the community (“in the form of horizontal construction”) and his ideas - “radical anarchism”. He considers the accusation to be “objective and relevant to the reality described in it and their actions - radical, which could lead to negative consequences if the FSB officers did not stop the activities of the terrorist community.”
According to the lawyer, Shishkin admits the mistake that he did not report to the participants of the “network”, which he regrets.
The accused himself in his final speech noted that the FSB and preliminary investigation authorities began to cooperate immediately after the detention and collaborates so far: “I help them in identifying persons who have disappeared from the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as give explanations as part of operational-search measures. I will be ready and testified on the courts of other accomplices of the Network terrorist community in Penza and St. Petersburg. "
In the deed, it completely repents. It especially asks to note that "it consisted in this community only a short period of time-as soon as it turned out that this really smacks of a radicalization, he immediately left, stopped communication with all these people."
He himself and his defender emphasize that cooperation with the investigation was voluntary, there was no pressure.
The hitch was caused by the question of the chairman Vadim Krasnov: why did the accused say that he was detained on January 26 last year, and the detention protocol was dated day later?
“So, on the 27th, as it is written in the papers,” Igor agrees looking at each other with a lawyer.
But the judge draws attention to the report, fixing: Shishkin was detained at 3:15 January 26, and for interrogation to the FSB was delivered at 11:30:30 on January 27:
- And where were you at night, from three o’clock?
-The 26th was detained while operational events lasted ...
- For a day, or what? - the chairman is surprised.
“Yes, but with breaks,” the accused clarifies, “I already remember badly ...
The prosecutor is trying to help: he says, if it is written 3:15 January 26, I mean - at three in the morning on January 27. It sounds unconvincing. In addition, as you know, on the afternoon of January 27, the court is already pronouncing Shishkin’s detention. And before, even before delivering to the FSB and starting to interrogate, they manage to examine him in the hospital - the judge reads that the case has a medical certificate, he entered at 8:35. “Okay, then we’ll figure it out,” Krasnov cuts off. But the court will no longer return to the proceedings of inconsistencies by dates.
In the case of Viktor Filinkov, almost 30 hours were “lost”, from the moment of his actual detention on January 23 to the report specified.
According to Filinkov’s statement, in this period of time he was also brought to the hospital for examination, and then they were tortured by a stamp in Minivan, taken to the forest.
Ilya Kapustin, who was only a witness in the case, also announced torture in Minivan - about 80 burns on his body, characteristic of the use of a electric shocker, were recorded by the act of forensic expertise.
The “delivery” of Kapustin took place from 21:30 on January 25, the beginning of his interrogation in the FSB is recorded from 01:00 on January 26 (from the detention site to control - about five minutes by car).
On January 25, after about five in the evening, Igor Shishkin goes for a walk with the dog and disappears. His wife Tatyana initially still hopes to find her husband in a sports club, where he planned to go to training. But there they answer her that Igor did not come. This moment should be remembered: because after the detention, Shishkin will say that he had received existing injuries in training. And Dmitry Dinze on the day of the court session in a conversation with the “New” will say that from the sports club where Shishkin was engaged, “data were requested - he really was there. And they even provided the person with whom he sparked there. ”
In March, Tatyana told reporters that after Igor’s disappearance, on the evening of January 25, “people in masks and pistols came to them with a search of a rented apartment, put on the floor ... intimidated: an article, planting 10 years ...” They brought a dog home about half an hour later. Tatyana was delivered to the Federal Security Service, where they interrogated for about an hour, after which they released. But there was no connection with Igor where he was - remained unknown. Tatyana turned to the Member of the PMC of St. Petersburg Yana Teplitskaya for help, together with a colleague in the PMC Ekaterina Kosarevskaya, they cut off the phones of the UFSB, the prosecutor's office, to whom they did not turn to - everything is in vain. At their request to the search for Shishkin, a member of the HRC under the President of Russia Andrei Babushkin joined - on the night of January 26 to 27, he also tried to find out from the leaders of the power and supervisory departments, where Shishkin, but also with a zero result.
For his loved ones, it was a very terrible night.
On the eve, it is also incomprehensible where the anti -fascist Viktor Filinkov told the members of the Pens that he was tortured that he was tortured.
Igor will also be able to find only in court to choose a preventive measure. His face on top will be covered with a hood, from below - a black mask, under his eyes - bruises. On the same day, Yana and Katya will come to him in a pre -trial detention center, but they will be able to see injuries only on places not covered by clothes. They will record in the act: the lower lip is broken, the bruise around the right eye, around the left - a large hematoma, abrasion in the middle of the left cheek, a burn on the back of the palm. Shishkin will tell them that there are such traces on their backs, the prison doctor processes them with some kind of ointment. Katya and Yana will be able to see them only a week later - February 2, when they achieve the inspection in the presence of the chief and the health worker, under the video recorder and installed stationary video cameras.
They will record: “On the entire surface of the back of Shishkin I. D., as well as on the back of the right thigh (from above), numerous damage to the skin (burns, presumably from electric wires)”, above the right knee on the back of the thigh (passing into the front) large hematoma, which occupies about 1/3 of the thigh. Around the left eye of the hematoma, under both eyes, yellow circles. " Burns are counted more than three dozen. To the question of their origin, Igor will not be able to choose an answer. In its medical card, these damage will not be described as burns, but as bruises.
Members of the PMC will issue an application for the need to save videos from the registrar and cameras for familiarization with the case. But at the time of the audit initiated by the appeal of Ekaterina Kosarevskaya, they will be destroyed, and on March 20 the Investigative Committee will refuse to institute criminal proceedings about Igor Shishkin’s torture. He himself will not declare torture, on February 16 he will sign a pre -trial agreement with the investigation.
Shishkin will become the only one of the defendants in the case of the “network” whom the Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova will visit - but he will not say anything about torture. Mrs. Moskalkova will give him a TV in the camera and promises to help in the treatment of tooth.
Dmitry Dinze to the question of “new” about whether he believes in the possibility of obtaining spot burns on his back and thigh during sports training, replied:
“I saw the Act of the PMC, but if a person denies everything that I will say - Habariki extinguished himself about himself? I'm not a medical specialist. I was interested in his injury associated with the eye. Because there was a fracture of the eye socket. Whether he was or not, we never know. The X -ray, which was done a week and a half after the conclusion of Shishkin in custody, showed nothing. But he could not show after such a time that a specialist in the field of medical examination explained to me, only a tomograph. I turned to the investigative insulator, asked me to take my client to tomography, but I received a refusal. ”
Strange, but Mr. Dinze did not mention at the same time that Shishkin was examined on an MRI in the Alexander Hospital on the morning of January 27 in the interval between the actual detention and the preparation of the interrogation protocol in the FSB.
But the lawyer tried to collect the whole volume of positive reviews about his client-from relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, subordinates and business colleagues (Shishkin, as an individual entrepreneur, was engaged in trading in sports food through his online store).
Reviewing these characteristics, the judge frankly had fun:
“He loves music, responsive, does not drink and does not smoke, now - he doesn’t even eat meat! .. Raises a family - Shishkin, you have no children who are you growing there - wife?”
“I still have a dog and a rabbit,” the defendant explained.
“So, here we have,” Krasnov continued to leaf through the characteristics, “helped the shelter, cheerful, companion, helped the fallen from the bicycle ... Loves sport, well done! He always opposed violence, gives gifts ... Here again about the abandoned dog ... Well, the court immediately understands what is characterized positively ... "
"Shishkin, you confirm that you are very good, love dogs, grow your family?"
“I confirm,” Shishkin smiled broadly.
Lawyer Dinze also read out excerpts from the conclusion of a psychological study of the personality of the accused. Rejection of criminal values and subcultures; The indicators inherent in the members of the terrorist communities (cynicism, increased excitability, hatred, etc.), strive for zero, low level of aggression and social danger ...
The portrait of the host is a healthy lifestyle of a loving good man who does not recognize violence somewhat spoiled information about two criminal episodes from the past. To the chair of the chairman - were they prosecuted? - Shishkin at first answered no. "Confident?" The judge asked.
The defendant was forced to recall that in 2009 he was involved in the 161st (“robbery”), but the Moscow District Court of St. Petersburg terminated the case by agreement of the parties, and in 2013 it was involved in Kyiv: “Yes, for heavy bodily ... Three years conditionally,” Shishkin confirmed.
At the request of the “new” to clarify what those things were specifically related to, Dmitry Dinze answered concisely: “Mistakes of youth”. Familiar Igor Shishkin says that Ukrainian business arose from a banal brawl, which often happened between anti -fascists and “Naziki from near -football”.
The prosecutor Melnikov did not focus on the "mistakes of youth",
He asked to take into account the sentences of the personality of Shishkin, his wife and relatives, as well as the fact that he fulfilled all the conditions of the pre -trial agreement and actively contributed to the disclosure and criminal prosecution of other crime participants.
The state prosecution requested 4 years of a general regime colony, the court reduced this period by six months, with the offset of the time for the detention and maintenance of Shishkin’s detention - “from January 26, 2018 to January 16, 2019”. Thus, fixing the date, so carefully shifted by the FSB.
To the question “new”, will the defense appeal the verdict and how the decision and position of Igor Shishkin will affect the other persons involved in the “network” case, Dmitry Dinze replied:
“We will appeal, I would like less, the investigator predicted us for 2.5 years. The verdict made today is a sign to other defendants, that the reprisal is close: in case of non -recognition of guilt - and they have a struggle there, right? “Their dates, I think, will start from six years.”
At Udo, according to Mr. Dinze, you should not count here:
“As practice shows, the judges are simply afraid-and if the convicted person under the terrorist article, having gone free, will blow up something? The responsibility will be held by people who released him to freedom. Unfortunately, we have a system in such cases so that there is a circular guarantee of judges and law enforcement agencies.
“As far as I know, they have not yet been justified by terrorist articles, and not a single convicted person went to their parole, only lifelongs.”
The next day, Dmitry Dinze on his Facebook page will publish a post - in response to "Dirt, which spilled on me after the court session." Trying to convince that “in the case, even without Shishkin’s testimony, there are many different facts, evidence and testimonies that are able to drown,” the lawyer will make up some of them. Including the surnames of witnesses, in the interests of the protection of which the day before, he petitioned for a closed regime of the meeting. And he promotes the members of the PMC of St. Petersburg that "without agreeing with the defense and personally Shishkin, probably under the pressure of a well -known human rights organization [...] they tried to give a move to the application of torture to Shishkin."
