What if the Lord starts to trample?
I must explain why the arrest of Kuzbass entrepreneur Vyacheslav Chernov is a new milestone in the development of civil society. This is very simple: Chernov is an absolute cosplay* of Alexei Navalny, only a regional scale. The same intonation in the rollers (only " Instagram ", and not "YouTube"), the same intransigence in exposures, the devilish persuasive for supporters. The same leader, successfully blooming in Russia. I'm not sure that this is good, but I have no other politicians for you. So Chernov unexpectedly became the only cool politician of the Kemerovo region, in addition to demonstrating a new Christian morality for Russia.
November 26, 10:30. The prosecutor's office of the city of Kemerovo
The operator cannot walk along the street with a camera for a long time - it will freeze, so we are waiting for Vyacheslav Chernov in cars. He arrived with his wife, well, we are in his cramped Nissan.
Then I will reveal a small intimate secret: Chernov rides with his wife everywhere. They have a kind of family-family-always together, and Natalya, I am sure, without hesitation, would go to her husband in a pre-trial detention center. You will have to tell about her a little more. If you continue the parallels, then Natalia, of course - Julia Navalny.
They can be fame from the prosecutor’s office to court - in the “black funnel” or in the old jeep, as the Sobrovtsy drove me. Ruslan, out of boredom, scattered plans near the prosecutor's office - “to be”.
The "suspect" comes out:
- Albert drove the prosecutor to the court, and I was allowed to go in my car.
“Albert is a surname,” I explain to the audience. In the Kuzbass center for the fight against extremism, which initiated the case against Chernov, wonderful guys gathered - Albert, Borisik, headquarters, and this is not nicknames at all. In the list of Ashnikov, who once, by oversight, was laid out by a pro-government Telegram channel, there is also the son of the deceased Anatoly Nikolayich-a cool journalist with whom I had the honor of working a bit.
November 26, 11:40. Central District Court of Kemerovo
In the Central District Court, revival, as in the bazaar. No masks, QR codes and thermometers with an optical sight. But visitors will not be allowed to hear. Journalists - even more so. Judge Toroshchin satisfied only the petition for the presence of Natalia. Maria Yankina from Agora will protect Chernova.
Two vessels are expected. In time - it is incomprehensible. The operator and I go home, the Chernov spouses are directing a direct text broadcast in WhatsApp.
The first hearing ends after 5 hours with a little. Verdict - ten days of arrest. It is strange to see how the arrested himself reports this on Facebook.
Case No. 5-1774/2021
During the monitoring of the Internet, a video was discovered, which begins with the words: “shameless and miserable former official” and ends with the words “bad situation”, lasting 10 minutes 32 seconds.
Associate Professor of the Department of Social Sciences, KemSU Evgeny Golovatsky, discovered that “deputies of the Tashtagol district” (in the video they are imprudently called “deputies”) are “a social group on the grounds of everyday interaction, social communications and rules of role -playing expectations of group members in relation to each other”.
Lawyer Maria Yankina refers to the methodology of conducting linguistic examinations of the Ministry of Justice from 2014, which explicitly states that the deputies are not a social group. Many people remember the case of the Chelyabinsk journalist Ermolenko, who imposed almost all branches of power - in 2011 a fateful decision was made on it, according to which representatives of the prosecutor’s office, court, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, civil servants, deputies cannot be recognized as a social group, because they are only representatives, not a social collection.
However, the Associate Professor Golovatsky, who attributed to the Tashtagol deputies “role -playing expectations” and other dubious qualities, decided the case: Chernov initiated hatred or enmity to the social group, which means it falls under the action of 29 articles of the Constitution prohibiting enmity, and Federal Law No. 114 “On Combating Extremist Activities”. None of these laws are deputies.
“I wanted to nightmare and trample? But what if the Lord starts to trample? Where will you look for the fifth corner? "
It was the answer of Chernov to the Governor of Kuzbass Sergey Tsivilev, who three years ago rushed in threats in dialogue with entrepreneurs:
"I will trample anyone who will try to attack power!"
“You even tried to run into me. The prosecutor's office turned against me. Do you know what I should do? To perform adequately! And to ruin so that no one has the desire to write more to the prosecutor's office. ”
After the publication of these governor escapades, special forces flew to my balcony. The governor did not even interrogate the governor about direct threats to the social group.
Chernov is a Christian of a Protestant denomination. Provides his premises for the church, he himself served as a pastor for some time.
- You, Glory, call people to someone else's church! - with horror he told him a drunken local official on the phone.
However, already in the 2018 presidential election, he was monitored and fixed a bunch of violations, then organized the “movement of independent observers of Kuzbass”, which terrifies the election commissions, then he himself advanced to the State Duma from “Yabloko”, but did not conduct a campaign - according to him, he just wanted to access video surveillance. And in fact, he made a splash - the revelations of the members of the TIC about blood and three hundred corpses were pretty amused by the Kuzbassians. The CEC and the courts chose not to notice most of the detected violations.
Someday this had to come to an end. Oppositionists of a federal scale are sometimes poisoned by combat poisons, they squeeze the business in the regionals and put in the IVS.
November 26, 23:00. Central District Court of Kemerovo
Somewhere minus 20 in Kemerovo. There are almost no cars at the court building, the parking lot is empty. Near the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and other important departments. The court itself has a business center and the Komsomol veterans committee. We have acquired editorial tasks and loom in this cult place quite officially.
From the WhatsApp-broadcast of Chernov, 23:07: "They said the divert of the judge, went to the deliberative."
Who was in Russian courts could appreciate the oddities of legal proceedings. The lawyer shall be a petition to the judge - for example, a discharge; The judge is important to be removed to the deliberative room, consults in private with him, comes out and reads the decision. On these two ships, Dmitry Toroshchin had to arrange more than a dozen such “meetings”.
We are sitting in the car for more than three hours. Coffee, tea, sandwiches, petitions.
Judge: "Have you planned to express your negative assessment of the deputies of the Tashtagol district?"
After a series of scandals and special forces on my balcony, on the website of the administration of the Tashtagol district, an “ open letter of deputies of the Tashtagolsky district council ” was published, which denied the raider seizure of land and business in Sheregesh, and the draft for the dialogue followed.
The letter has no signatures, and no one has managed to find the deputies who really wrote it.
Chernov: “Since the authors of the open letter preferred to hide their faces, I was forced to turn to them as they called themselves -“ Tashtagol deputies ”. Turning with sharp words to these people, of course I did not mean the deputies as a social group, but turned exclusively to those who were involved in justifying the raider seizure of my property. Moreover, I know for certain that some of the deputies were not just not signing this letter, but I did not hear that it appeared. I could not keep them in mind when I recorded my appeal to those deputies who made up the letter. I clearly imagine how this letter appeared: there was a session of people's deputies, Sergey Tsivilev called this session, he asked how deputies relate to my property, some said “yes”, some “no”, the State Duma deputy was present at the maximum speech that we all had to sacrifice our property in some common ones necessary goals. And a certain group of persons close to the head of the district published this letter without even consulting with the Council of People's Deputies. ”
From the WhatsApp transaction of Chernov, 00:32: "To decide."
November 28, temporary detention center, Kemerovo

In order to convey things and products to the prisoner, you need to go through a humiliating procedure: you take two paper leaves at the entrance, you go to the street. An iron telephone booth is installed there, but without a phone. You scoop up the snow with your hands and in the cold you write a list of what has brought a cabinet with hardening ink. In duplicate.
Then also on the street half an hour you wait for a sleepy employee who will come out to pick up your bags.
Following me, a tipsy couple from Andreevka drives up after me. The son served five years and almost immediately thundered for 12 days for petty hooliganism. Will come out on his birthday.
“They do this on purpose,” the woman nods at the “telephone booth”, “they bring us up for not raising our children poorly.”
I don’t know who the FSIN despises and trembles more - prisoners or random citizens.

The shots for this plot were intended for a respected television channel, he needed very little for the news, and in ten minutes we collected all the legal collision and moral drama.
Natalia Chernova and Yankina’s lawyer reluctantly agreed to an interview. Both women felt devastated after a 13-hour trial. The lawyer still did not have such long hearings.
Finally, the decision: ten days in the first case, ten in the second. Article 20.3.1 ("Station of hatred or enmity"). One punishment absorbs another, the total term is 10 days.
“It is extremely upset that such a neglect of a small person,” says Natalya Chernova.
It happens differently. Sometimes such courts make large people of large people or show what they really were.
Maria Yankina: "We will file an appeal, and in the future we will appeal until the European Court of Human Rights."

Yankina’s lawyer: “The fact that in the words of Vyacheslav Mikhailovich there are no signs of extremism is absolutely sure. The fact that deputies and officials are not a social group is also absolutely accurate and for a long time and is documented. In addition, Chernov is not the person in principle that is capable of some stimulating hatred or enmity of the statement. He is one of the most intelligent people whom I know. ”
Natalia asked to drive her husband’s car to the parking lot. She will go home with a lawyer. The next day, he will ask you to convey to Vyacheslav things forgotten in a hurry, and I will try to find out the opinion of the other side.
The social group of deputies of the Tashtagol district, as was said, chose to remain in oblivion. Some of the real deputies - for example, Elena Kink, Oleg Maltsev and Evgeny Alexandrov previously renounced the ill -fated letter in their social networks and said that they did not sign it. Some made a reservation that they did not support Chernov’s statements, but there was still no letter. But the social group, according to the Center of E,, Judge Toroshchi, the assistant to the prosecutor Kolesova and the assistant professor of Kemgu Golovatsky, was.
"Freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness." Roml. 6:18
In the car after the trial, for some reason, I entered into a dispute with Natalia: she said that the Christian faith helps my husband be implacable to any evil, I objected that no faith was needed by a strong spirit. Later I remembered that with me, Vyacheslav never tried to preach and appeal to religion. He is generally a nasty opponent for the authorities: he himself built a strong smart business, lined with moral principles, does not impose his truth to others and keeps God deep in his soul. Exactly his taxes contain the heads of Tashtagol and Sheregesh. The authorities like to expose the supporters of Navalny with talkative loafers - this will not pass here.
The concepts of "protest" and "Protestantism" developed into bizarre rhyme.
This court could not but happen. Two weeks ago, Chernov published a post under the heading "I was unequivocally informed that they decided to plant me." I know how this warning was transferred. The beneficiary of the entrepreneur and politician was called not only the governor, but also his adviser to Prokudin, who receives the best lands at the resort of Shereges for 5% of the cadastral value (for this, the social group “Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Kuzbass” issued a special regional law). On November 18, a search was held in Chernov’s apartment, and a equipment was seized for 400 thousand. Chernov was handed over to the words: “Rewish everything to your wife and go to Georgia until everything settles. There is also this journalist, like him, Foma Nemov? So he will become the following. ”
Two punishments under an administrative article for extremism on one day may mean that the third case is being prepared - criminal.
There is still an option of dialogue, which the anonymous “Tashtagol deputies” tried to activate, but this requires a completely unthinkable courage.
