The new Arkhangelsk governor after the elections no longer guarantees the termination of repressions against Shiies defenders

On the third day after the victory in the election, the new Arkhangelsk governor gathered a press conference. On it, Alexander Tsybulsky, who was chosen against the backdrop of continuous promises to close the construction of a landfill on Shiies, predictably asked about the fate of the repression of activists. Like, since the landfill is illegal, it means that the authorities now agree that people fought for a just cause. So will the affairs initiated on them be closed? Formally, of course, the Governor does not command the police and the School. It is ridiculous to informally deny the factor of political will in the initiation or closure of political affairs, including at the regional level.

So is it possible to hope for the rehabilitation of activists who literally suffered for their land? This was asked by the chosen governor of the chief of the most popular Arkhangelsk site 29.ru Elena Ionaitis.

“This is a question of each of us a sense of justice and norms of legislation,” the unexpected response of the newly -minted head of the region quotes literally. And he does it correctly, because it is impossible to retell this thesis, as it is impossible to comprehend.

It turns out that Alexander Vitalievich measures the norms of the law with personal feelings. In a slightly different formulation, this risky hobby entered folklore: “The law is what the drawbar” ...

However, we will continue. “If these fines were accrued illegally or there are some evidence or feelings that people's rights were violated, then this must be disputed accordingly. But if the legislation was violated, and the requirements were submitted in accordance with applicable law, I have no right to influence this, moreover, I consider any impact or recommendations to the judicial legal authorities by the executive branch. ”

This stream of demagogy has a very specific message, even two:

The governor will not interfere in the course of the repressive machine - this time, he does not see any violation of the law in its work - these are two. Like, first prove.

Perhaps Tsybulsky simply forgot the military educational institution that the burden of proof in the criminal and administrative law lies with the prosecution-this should look for “some evidence”. And not some, but not leaving doubts about the fault of the defendant. Because any doubts are interpreted in favor of the accused. It should be so. In Russia, law enforcement, unfortunately, does not always follow the letter of the law.

Only for participating in a rally on April 7 last year, when 10 thousand people came out in Arkhangelsk on the streets, 56 people were fined, in total - 2 million, three were sentenced to public work. Five - Elena Kalinina, Ekaterina Tsvetkova, Mikhail Shaklein, Nikolai Grigoryev and Evgeny Popov - complained to the ECHR of violation of the right to freedom of assembly.

This was only the first wave of repression. The following rolled directly to Shies. People were regularly detained and fined for counteracting the builders and landfill guards. At the same time, the police who were constantly on duty at the station did not notice offenses from the other side. For example, the presence of “chopic” there - private guards on the territory in masks, without identification marks and at the same time with special means, the police did not bother, just as actions to prevent journalistic activities, attacks on people, violations of transport safety, illegal deforestation, illegal construction ...

When in May last year the “chopic”, grabbing the activist Marina Dziuba by the arms and legs, threw the woman into the ditch, the protocol was drawn up at her - and arrested for 5 days.

Allegedly, Marina rushed with his fists at the guards. As for the case against them, in response to Dziuba’s statement, a refusal came. According to the investigator, some Synks and Rutans simply took out a woman from a helicopter plant dangerous for her - that's all.

A few months earlier, Marina’s husband - Valery Dziuba became a suspect in a criminal case. He, like his colleague in protests by Vyacheslav Grigoryan, was justified only this summer. But the court appointed Andrei Starkovsky and Dmitry Demobinin the court in the case of imprisonment, they were found guilty of arbitrariness (part 2 of Article 330 of the Criminal Code). On the night of March 15 last year, a checkpoint of eco -activists - a trailer, inside of which was a man, rammed an excavator. At the wheel was someone Alexei Kozlov. The car was crushed by one of the activists, Vladimir Kogut, he broke his ribs. But with respect to Kozlov, they did not start a matter. On the contrary, at first they tried to blame the protesters under a heavier article - “Intentional infliction of medium severity of harm to the health by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or an organized group in relation to a person or his relatives in connection with the implementation by this person of official activities” (clause “G” of part 2 of Article 112 of the Criminal Code). But then it turned out that Kozlov’s health is in perfect order.

Schies salvation cost five criminal cases.

In addition to the “Excavator case”, these are two twin affairs: against Nikita Baryshnikov and Mikhail Gabov, who are accused of spraying the guards with pepper gas. Both were convicted - the first to 300, the second by 200 hours of compulsory work. There is also a case under the “Dadinsky article” against the head of the Arkhangelsk headquarters of Navalny Andrei Borovikov (400 hours of compulsory work) and the hardest - according to the beloved fighters with revolutions 318 of the Criminal Code - against the most harmless of the protesters, pacifist, Buddhist and corporatist Andrei Khristoforov (Brani). To plant a tree-and he calls himself a “man-man”-tried after Andrei pulled the train-cran of the train on Shiies, and then was harshly detained by the police.

A special article of income for the Arkhangelsk meager treasury is the fines of the “perpetrators” - participants in the unlimited protest on Lenin Square. They are charged with either inconsistent pickets, then a violation of the self -isolation regime, which has long been removed in Pomerania. No further than this Thursday, Arkhangelogorods, Yuri Chesnokov, was detained and taken to court on charges of organizing a mass action on August 15, when the “unlimited”, including it, lined up in a chain with the flag of Belarus. True, the major, drawing up the protocol, did it so inaccurate that the court did not consider the case. The same major who had a week earlier wanted to search for the office of the lawyer of the defenders of Shiesa Oksana Vladyka without a court sanction, the one that continuously accompanies each action of activists with a movie camera or camera ... a narrow specialist.

By the way, Oksana was detained later, until midnight they kept in the police department on charges of police resistance - and released without a protocol, but with the promise of the agenda to the court. The courts are expected by dozens of activists who had some hope of changing the vector after the high -profile statements of the authorities about the support of their requirements. After the election, the rhetoric changed. However, as it was “under Orlov” - the precursor of Tsybulsky, who was actually removed for ShiES, will no longer work. And not because people will not allow. There is just a precedent, and very curious.

On August 26, the Supreme Court abolished the fine appointed to the saleswoman from Kotlas Svetlana Baksheeva in the case of insulting power. Baksheeva at VKontakte called the then head of the Orlov region “bald dowry” and “eared fly”. Orlov, who previously called the protesters "husky", was offended. The courts of the two instances last summer predictably found the Kotloshanka guilty. And the Supreme Court justified, responsibly stating: Orlov is no power. And Tsybulsky, by the way, too. The governor does not belong to the "bodies exercising state power in the Russian Federation." And the Prosecutor General’s Office noticed this, which stated that “a manifestation of disrespect for federal, regional, local bodies, their divisions and officials and deputies is not an object of insulting power.” So the new chapter of Pomerania should take into account the mistakes of the predecessor. So as not to be offended later.
