Crazy the chamber

The madness of the “sovereignty” is contagious: after the Duma, where its first symptoms showed, the organs of real authorities stopped “testing reality”

State Duma deputy Anatoly Wasserman proposed a separate law to ban the exchange for Russians in captivity in Ukraine, the fighters of the Azov regiment, some of whom agreed to lay down the weapon on the same day on May 17. The speaker of the Duma Vyacheslav Volodin immediately instructed to prepare the corresponding bill. The Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky suggested that then cancel the moratorium on the death penalty. So far, only for the Azov fighters - Bastrykin is in a hurry to interrogate them: what did they do there for two and a half months in Mariupol?

On the same day, the Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on recognizing the Azov Regiment with a terrorist organization and on the ban on its activities ... in the territory of the Russian Federation. On the eve of Klisha-Krasheninnikov, a project was introduced to the Duma on the failure to fulfill the decisions of the ECHR in Russia, made after its exit from the Council of Europe on March 16, and the head of government, Mikhail Mishustin, in order not to lag behind, excluded the director of Rimas Tuminas from among the laureates of the culture in the field of culture in 2021.

Okay, Wasserman, a deputy of “... for the truth”, better known as a current-show player who filed an application for obtaining citizenship of the Russian Federation in 2015, and a vow of chastity about 50 years earlier. Okay, Slutsky, according to rumors, in chastity on Okhotny, on the contrary, not different. But Mishustin! But Volodin is a grated political kalach, not noticed in any deviations - in any case, from the general line of AP. Does he understand the ambiguity of his statement that “Nazi criminals must be punished”? Or is it no longer testing?

These initiatives from places are united by a topic known to legal science (and among those who wish to distinguish, considering three doctors of legal sciences with Volodin!) As “the action of legal acts in time and space”.

Here about the time:

The law that establishes a more severe responsibility cannot have retroactive strength (although in the USSR there was a precedent of such an application of the death penalty).

And here about space: “The generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties of the Russian Federation are an integral part of its legal system. If the international treaty of the Russian Federation establishes other rules than provided for by law, then the rules of the international treaty are applied ”(Article 15 of the still current Constitution).

The Ministry of Justice did not mean anything in the space of the Russian Federation? Bastrykin does not confuse anything with state borders? Or are they in advance (again about the time!) They proceed from the fact that Mariupol will become Russian territory? Or is there more general reasoning as a basis that Ukraine does not exist as a state? But, in addition to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, in which the Russian Federation has not been participated in March 16, there is also the 1949 Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war. The USSR did not sign it, in relation to the Germans and the Japanese who surrendered to him, he did not fulfill it, and sent his prisoners of war returned to his own camps. "Can we repeat"?

In Russia, the question of joining the Geneva Convention was not raised - who thought about it in the Duma until February 24? “But it contains the same“ universally recognized principles and norms of international law ”in the Constitution. When and no matter how the “military operation” ends, any issues regarding prisoners on both sides will be subject to decision based on this convention.

On both sides! (What cannot be called). This is Volodin and others. They understand? They are about their own, who are “not thrown”, remember? In the “special operation” mode, the very ancient principle of the Talion may also work: “Eye beyond the eye, tooth for a tooth”.

In contrast, let’s say, from the unsuccessful proposals of Wasserman, in the project on non-fulfillment of the ECHR decisions, the hand of doctors (legal sciences) is immediately noticeable: “Applying a unilaterally in relation to the Russian Federation a formal-compulsory mechanism of termination of membership ... The corresponding community of countries cannot demand compliance with the conditions of documents related to the right of the Council of Europe.”

Bulo forest! Together with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. According to the certificates of lawyers (and there is simply no official information about this), Russia has ceased to execute the solutions of the ECHR, regardless of the date of the adoption, including at least pay compensation, which was previously through force, but still regularly did. Exactly one phrase that did not contain craftiness even crept into a note to the project on this subject: “The adoption of the law will not require additional allocations from the federal budget.”

We are all so sovereign, and we are not interested in what they think in Europe.

That is, the ECHR will still accept complaints about human rights violations, committed from Russia until September 16, and decisions, including “against the Russian Federation” will be made later. Russian judges will not go to Strasbourg, but the court’s mechanism will be able to work without them. The decisions will accumulate, the score is to grow, the “special operation” - sooner or later, according to the plan or not - will end, and then what? Will Russia fly into space with Rogozin? But then what?

Freud introduced into psychology the concept of “testing of reality” is the ability to distinguish between the reality of the outside world and the images of the patient’s inner world. Our “patients” believe that they strengthen the “Russian world”, but in reality it is symbolic. That is, the consequences of their decisions are real: someone has been sitting in prisons for years, someone is really shot without trial and investigation, but Russia as a result does not only stronger, but weaken, it itself, alas, is sick. For the legislator, especially for a policy, this ability to test reality is important. Or inability-if it is projected to the international legal concept of sovereignty. Everyone wants to be in fact the way he sees himself in his dreams. But there is an inner world, but there is an external one. And who has forgotten how to distinguish them, is the mournful head.
