Suffers from mental illness, fined for extremism. What is known about Krasnoyarsk, accused of justification of the explosion in the Arkhangelsk FSB

A resident of the village of Shushenskoye Krasnoyarsk Territory, accused of justifying the attack in the Arkhangelsk FSB, turned out to be a disabled person of the second group suffering from a mental illness. He became one of ten Russians, on which they started cases related to the self-separation of 17-year-old Mikhail Zhlobitskigo in the reception of the Arkhangelsk FSB. Among them there is a Pskov journalist Svetlana Prokopyeva.

In July 2019, the FSB in the Krasnoyarsk Territory announced the initiation of the case under Part 2 of Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public justification of terrorism on the Internet). The press release stated that the resident of the village of Shushenskoye, "adhering to extremist views and ideas, having a intent to publicly influence users of one of the social networks, openly justified terrorism." He faces up to seven years of colony.

“The suspect created an account using the name of one of the famous terrorists, and posted on his resources a message about a terrorist act who had previously committed to the Arkhangelsk region,” the department said. “In the comments on this information, he supported the crime, calling him the organizer a hero.”

Taiga.info found out that the 25-year-old suspect is called Sergey Sizykh. His surname is in the “list of terrorists and extremists” of Rosfinmonitoring, where all suspects in terrorist and extremist articles fall at a certain stage. Next to him is a note about a possible involvement in terrorism.

According to the script of the programmer Ivan Shukshin , who monitors the list of Rosfinmonitoring, the Sizykhs were on the list on July 25 - a day after the Krasnoyarsk FSB told about the justification of the Arkhangelsk terrorist attack.

The Sizykh house found instructions for the manufacture of Molotov cocktail and extremist literature, the FSB said. According to the agency, the suspect in 2015 was “prosecuted” for attempting to arson the regional bailiffs, without specifying whether he was convicted of this. The FSB also added that the suspect received an administrative punishment for the distribution of extremist materials in social networks.

Taiga.info failed to find in GAS “Justice” a single sentence related to the arson of the bailiffs department in the Shushensky district. But the district court made a decision under Art. 20.29 Code of Administrative Offenses (distribution of extremist materials) against Sergei Sizykh.

According to the Decree of the Shushensky District Court, the Sizykh received a fine of 1 thousand rubles for reputing the poem by Evgeny Skvoreshnikov “Be Russians!”, Recognized as extremist material on his VKontakte page. It began with the words “to be Russian is not a merit, but a burden” - this was established by the assistant to the prosecutor of the Shushensky district by the name of Epifanov. The explanations of the Syzykhs in the prosecutor's office formed the basis of the administrative protocol

The lawyer Nikolai Frolov at the meeting said that the explanations of the client in the prosecutor’s office could not be proof, because he did not have a defender. In addition, according to the lawyer, the man could not fully lead his actions, as he suffers from a mental illness. He has a “disability” of the second group, said in a court decision.

An examination of the sanity of the blue was not carried out in the framework of the case. The court decided that his sanity "follows from his consistent clear explanations in the case, a pronounced position of defense, competent judgments." The man’s defender refused to communicate with the taiga.info, referring to a lawyer secret.

Mass affairs about the acquittal of the explosion

In a criminal case on the justification of terrorism, a preventive measure for the Sizykhs was not elected, it follows from the response of the press service of the Shushensky district court to the request of Taiga.info. In the press service of the Krasnoyarsk FSB, the editorial staff could not say exactly at what stage the investigation is, but they assured that they would lighten the transfer of materials to the court if it took place.

Syzykh’s lawyer Alexei Tivanov first asked to postpone the conversation about the details of the case, “to clarify the data”, after which he stopped answering calls from the editor's phone. He dropped a challenge from another issue, hearing the voice of the Taiga.info correspondent.

The criminal case of a resident of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of Sizykh is one of a number of cases throughout Russia related to the explosion in the management of the FSB in the Arkhangelsk region. 17-year-old Mikhail Zhlobitsky made a self-break at the entrance to the building in October 2018. Before that, the teenager wrote in Telegram that the FSB "Fabricating things and torture people." He died, three employees of the department were injured, Mediazona reported . SK started the case under Art. 205 Criminal Code (terrorism).

After the incident, at least ten cases of justification of the Arkhangelsk terrorist attack were instituted, Kommersant wrote. One of the most famous is the case of the Pskov journalist of Radio Liberty Svetlana Prokopyeva. On November 8, 2018, she read on the air of “Echo of Moscow in Pskov” a column in which she analyzed the causes of the attack. There, the journalist claimed that "a young citizen who saw only prohibitions and punishments from the authorities could not come up with a different way of communication."

Roskomnadzor found “signs of justification of terrorism” in the material Prokopyeva. Later, the radio station and the “Pskov News Tape”, which reprinted the column, received a fine in the amount of 350 thousand rubles, and a journalist brought the case under Part 2 of Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code (justification of terrorism).

“I do not admit guilt and consider my criminal case to be a banal revenge of offended security forces. In that text, I assigned the responsibility for the Arkhangelsk explosion on them. I wrote that the repressive state waited for a response. That a cruel law enforcement policy is biting citizens. That blocked legal ways push out the energy of protest in such a socially dangerous one, ”the journalist said in an open letter.

After Prokopyeva, the journalist’s letter was printed by Prokopyeva, about 20 Russian media printed. Following this, the head of the Echo of Moscow in Pskov, Maxim Kostikov and the editor of the “Pskov News Tape”, Alexander Savenko, was called to the next “conversation” in the UK, the new newspaper wrote .
