The Meshchansky District Court of Moscow arrested it for ten days, finding guilty under Part 6.1 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (participation in an unauthorized event that caused interference for pedestrians).

Earlier, the lawyer of another person involved in the case of riots on July 27 in the center of Moscow Kirill Zhukov Svetlana Baiturina informed TASS that the investigation charged him. "Kirill Zhukov was charged under Part 1 of Article 318 (the application of violence against a representative of the authorities that is not dangerous for his life) and part 2 of article 212 (participation in the riots) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. On Friday, the Presnensky court of Moscow will consider the arrest of my client," said Svetlana Bayturina. Zhukov does not admit the guilt of all the accusations.

The RF IC previously reported that during the preliminary investigation, investigators received evidence of involvement in the commission of these crimes more than 10 citizens who took the most active part in organizing and conducting a protesting in the center of the capital, which the authorities qualified as riots.

Currently, five suspects have already been detained. As a source in law enforcement agencies specified, investigators interrogated almost all participants in the unauthorized action in the criminal case, who are currently under administrative arrest or were fined for violation of Article 20.2. Administrative Code (violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picket).

In recent weeks in Moscow, protests related to the upcoming elections to the Moscow City Duma are regularly held in Moscow. The most significant mass action "For honest elections" was held in the center of the capital on July 27. The security forces pushed the mayor's office protesters from the building, and after that they began to disperse from the neighboring streets. As a result, almost 1,400 people were detained. Political scientists qualify this as an absolute anti -record of recent years. During erratic detentions, batons and stampers were used. 77 participants in the action received injuries.

More than 250 detainees remained in the police departments until Monday, July 29. Among the detainees were 47 minors. And 600 detainees are not Muscovites, the police claimed.

On July 29, Moscow courts began to consider administrative protocols of the detainees and appoint arrests and fines in the amount of 10 thousand rubles to 150 thousand rubles. Among the arrested were unregistered candidates for the Moscow City Duma Ilya Yashin, Konstantin Yankauskas, Ivan Zhdanov and Vladimir Milov. Milov appointed 30 days of arrest, Yashin was detained and tried twice, he received twice 10 ten days .

The founder of the Corruption Foundation, Alexei Navalny, was arrested on July 24 for 30 days for calls to go to an unauthorized action on July 27, and then went to the hospital with chemozhogs received under mysterious circumstances.

Among the persons involved in the punishment there are many visitors from the Moscow, Tula, Samara, Kaluga regions, as well as from Kazan and other regions of Russia.

In addition, the RF IC instituted several criminal cases in connection with the events of July 27, including part 1, 2, 3 tbsp. 212 of the Criminal Code (organization of mass riots and participation in them). The article provides for a punishment up to 15 years in prison for the organizers. Against this background, officials carefully try to attribute extremism and the desire to overestimate power by violent way to the protesting Muscovites. So, the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, in fact, before the investigation, said that the "mass riots" of the 27th were "pre-planned and well prepared."

“Right at the rally agreed on July 20, which went without any problems, the ultimatum sounded and the call of the 27th storm the city hall,” said Sergey Sobyanin.

According to the mayor, the protesters "simply forced the police to use force, which in this situation was completely adequate." “I would like to say thanks to the police and employees of the Russian Guard, they fulfilled their duty,” Sobyanin emphasized. However, its statements are lies .

In addition, the RF IC opened three criminal cases under Art. 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (the application of violence in relation to a representative of the authorities). Within the framework of one of these investigations, the Meshchansky court of Moscow arrested Yevgeny Kovalenko on July 29. According to investigators, he threw a garbage tank in one of the special forces, who beat street protest participants with batons.

Other similar criminal cases are associated with the spraying of pepper gas, as a result of which two fighters of the Russian Guard were injured, as well as with a throw of a fragment of border stone towards the military.

The actions of the authorities and the statements of officials indicate that they do not intend to make concessions and headed for intimidation of protest participants.

The reason for the start of protests in Moscow was the refusal of the election commissions of the municipal districts of the capital to register several independent candidates for the September elections to the Moscow City Duma, including the municipal deputy Yulia Galyamin, the chairman of the "Party of Changes" by Dmitry Gudkov, the representative of Yabloko, Sergey Mitrokhin and Elena Rusakov, and the opposition of the oppositionist. Alexei Navalny Ilya Yashin, Love Sobol, Konstantin Yankauskas, Vladimir Milov and Ivan Zhdanov. The basis for this was the signatures of voters, which the election of the election committee has been collapsed in a record time .
