Why are the security forces in Russia not to society, but the authorities-and is it possible to do something about it
Control over law enforcement agencies in Russia is in the hands of Vladimir Putin. There is almost almost anywhere in the world. Especially for our section “Ideas”, a researcher of civilian relations Kirill Shamiev tells how the experience of Germany and the USA can help establish public control over the “security forces”. Its main conclusion is that you need to make the power sphere not so closed on itself and ensure that it is not connected with the outside world only through the head of state.
How the court went over Azat Miftakhov. Report "Medusa"
The mathematician and anarchist Azat Miftakhov received six years of a general regime in the case of an attack on the United Russia office in 2018. Two other defendants - Elena Gorban and Andrei Seekin - unlike Miftakhova pleaded guilty and received conditional terms. They insist that on the day of Miftakhov’s attack, the party’s office did not have. But, according to the testimony of a classified witness, the prosecution under the pseudonym Andrei Petrov, Miftakhov not only participated in the attack, but also led the participants in the action. Petrov died in early 2020. In many ways, based on these indications, the court today confirmed the guilt of the defendants .
In the near future, Medusa should be released from a court session - over the former police officers who threw drugs to Ivan Golunov. Today the journalist himself gave the testimony.
