"They promised to pack and faded"

The political scientist Krasheninnikov started the case for insulting the authorities. This is one of the first attempts to attract a famous opposition under this article

The political scientist Fedor Krasheninnikov drew up a protocol under an article on disrespect for power. The reason was the June commentary in his telegram channel about the next administrative arrest of the supporter of the politician Alexei Navalny Leonid Volkov. Krasheninnikov spoke out of the judges who sentenced Volkov to 15 days of administrative arrest after he left the special reception, having already served 20 days. The police considered that the political scientist "was thereby expressed in indecent form using abnormitative vocabulary, which offends human dignity and social morality, in this case, judges of the Russian Federation, as an organ exercising state power."

The protocol was drawn up due to a complaint of a certain Salavat Khaziev. Krasheninnikov told Novaya Gazeta that he did not know this person. “I only later, when I recognized his name, looked on the Internet, found that he was the director of some tire fitting, and in general, he never did not do any political affairs. It is completely strange and surprising to me that for some reason he suddenly decided to start politics, ”he said.

Prior to this, on October 15, Krasheninnikov was searched in the FBK case to launder money, which was excited in August. During him, the political scientist was taken away from the political scientist: “He was packaging, it was IMAC, I’m sure that they hardly found anything in him. Moreover, there was definitely nothing in the FBK case. ”

The report of the lieutenant of the Nazarova police said that the mobile operator provided the security forces with information that the telegram channel was registered to the number belonging to Krasheninnikov. The political scientist is indeed the creator of the channel “Telegrams of F. Krasheninnikov”, but in the messenger he has a hidden phone number. IT specialist Mikhail Klimarev explained to Novaya Gazeta that the telegram channel is registered with a particular user, and a phone number that can be hidden can already be tied to him. If the number is hidden, then it will be displayed only if it first is in contacts.

It was after the search that law enforcement officers were able to finally establish that the telegram channel in which the comment was published belonged to Krasheninnikov because he wrote about the incident using personal pronouns, the report said. “I connect this ( what is happening - ed .) With the attempt of some people here in Yekaterinburg, in the Sverdlovsk region, to put pressure on me for my civil position because of my opposition views, because I critically respond to the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, the head of the Yekaterinburg, about, so to speak, the local alliance of the authorities and the Russian Orthodox Church, very actively about the whole situation. Around the square that we had, ”says Krasheninnikov. “Different people promised me for this as a obsolete to pack, and they’ll be faded.”

About whether the political scientist was received in court and, if there is a meeting, then when - nothing is known yet, he did not receive notifications about this. “I have a lawyer, if a court is appointed, then we will give explanations to the judge. In the meantime, you can do anything here - nothing can be done - calmly continue in the same spirit, ”says Krasheninnikov.

Political scientist Alexei Bushmakov said that he could not draw any far -reaching conclusions about the case. “We are working with the fact that there is and everything,” he said.

The case against Krasheninnikov was one of the first attempts to hold accountable for insulting the authorities of the famous representative of the opposition.

On the same day, politician Dmitry Gudkov, along with his lawyer Julia Fedotova, filed a complaint with the ECHR against the law on disrespect for power. It says that the law does not comply with both Russian legislation and international law. “[He] allows citizens to apply the measures of coercion, establishes a serious punishment for violation of the norms, but does not meet the principle of legal certainty of regulatory legal acts,” the complaint says. Prior to this, Gudkov tried to demand the law through the Supreme Court, but he did not adopt a lawsuit, explaining the refusal by the fact that the requirement belongs to the competence of the Constitutional Court.
