Human rights activist Idrisov asked to cancel the decision of the court that recognized the blockade of Leningrad with genocide

In St. Petersburg, they registered an appeal against a court decision, according to which the blockade of Leningrad was recognized as the genocide of the Soviet people. It was given by human rights activist Dinar Idrisov. This was reported by the United press service of the vessels of St. Petersburg.

What they demanded in the complaint . Idrisov asked to cancel the decision of the city court in St. Petersburg and terminate the proceedings on the recognition of the blockade of Leningrad by the genocide. So, the fact of genocide can be established only in the framework of criminal proceedings, it follows from the appeal of Idrisov.

What else is known. Idrisov told the authors of the publication “Zaks.ru” that he considers the claim of the prosecutor's office immoral, and the court decision - political, and not legal. According to the human rights activist, the court also had to evaluate the actions of the Soviet authorities during the blockade of Leningrad.

In addition, Idrisov noticed that the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of the 1940s did not have articles on genocide and a war crime, and the law has no return. Therefore, it is impossible to recognize the blockade of Leningrad with genocide, the human rights activist believes.

As a blockade of Leningrad was recognized as genocide. In October, the court in St. Petersburg recognized the blockade of Leningrad with a genocide and a crime against humanity. The court held seven meetings, interrogated twelve specialists and four witnesses, and also studied materials with the “Top Secret” stamp, video and photographs, data of examinations and historical documents.

During the meetings, it became known that the number of those killed in the blockade amounted to at least 1,039,842 people, and the damage - 35.3 trillion rubles.

Initially, the claim of the blockade by a crime against humanity and the genocide of the Soviet people was sent by the prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg on behalf of the Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov.

What you need to know. Earlier, Idrisov appealed to the decision of the Lenoblsud on recognition by the genocide of the Nazis in the occupied territories of the Leningrad region. The human rights activist also told Zaks.ru about this.
