“Recently, an employee of the Oryol CPE demanded an explanation from me about the post on social networks about Hitler's cap in the main temple of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. I took advantage of the 51st article of the Constitution. It seems that the security forces intend to initiate another case against me about the insulting the feelings of believers and discrediting the Russian armed forces. During the search on February 2, FSB officers openly stated that there would be another 12th and 13th cases against me. But I am ready for everything and do not lose heart, ”is a letter from the Oryol pre-trial detention center No. 1. A pre-trial detention center-with a bad reputation: reports on the brutal handling of prisoners from here came from in 2022, in 2010. Sometimes criminal cases were even initiated against employees, but this did not change anything.
The letter was written by the 51-year-old school teacher and poet Alexander Fereshev. And added at the end:
“I beg you to inform you what is happening in Russia and Ukraine (in more detail and without sharp expressions - I hope you understand me), as well as what the reaction of my compatriots to the arbitrariness that is being created against me.”
It is no coincidence that Fizhevs are worried about Ukraine: from there, his mother came from there, he spent a lot of time there, and for the past nine years he has been judged without a break for sympathy for this country. Not one generation of security forces in the seven -thousandth village of Kroma, where he lives, grew up in his poems, received stars, went to increase. Is there a joke: seven criminal cases. Nobody counted the number of administrators.
Another criminal case brought formerly to the pre -trial detention center. It was unexpected: it used to be easier - subscriptions about the lower away and prohibitions of certain actions. And even lawyer Vladimir Sychkov, who defended him in all criminal processes, speaks of a new case very carefully. And the reason for this caution is clear: although we are talking about pursuit for poetry, but the accusation itself is much harder. The new business is no longer about the initiation of hatred or enmity and not even about calls for extremism - it is about calls to the implementation of terrorist activities (part 2 of article 205.2 of the Criminal Code).
And now he is not threatening for four years in prison, as it was in other matters, but seven. And they will judge him in a military court.

“The reason for initiating the case was a poem, which, according to one of the wonderful experts in Bryansk, contains threats to the President of the Russian Federation,” explains Suchkov. - What is this poem, I can’t tell you, because as soon as I utter the name, this will be considered a distribution, and I will find myself in the same place as Alexander Mikhailovich. I can only say that, in my opinion, you need to have a rather rich imagination to see calls for terrorism there.
The lawyer refuses to provide an examination for the same reason - after all, it is scary to say there, the poem is contained entirely.
- I can only clarify: we do not deny that Alexander Formoshev wrote a poem for which he is going to judge in a military court. We deny that in this poem you can see anything. And one more thing: everything says that this case is not the last - the investigator appoints examinations for other poems. Explore all the freedom -loving lyrics of formerly.
I am pleased, if this word is appropriate, only one thing: in a pre -trial detention center, Alexander is good. By current standards, this definition can be invested: "Do not try." And cellmates treat understanding. True, everything is not so smooth with everyday life.
- He has no shoes. He was taken from the house in rubber boots, so he is forced to walk in them, ”the lawyer says.
-There is not enough food, if someone transferred money to his account to the FSIN, he can at least buy something for himself. He has almost no paper, there are no envelopes. The main thing is that there are no people who would systematically help him.
Here Vladimir Schukov, however, is mistaken - the community of Help, is a community. Which, however, does not mean that this help is enough.

In his letter, Thamshev copes that compatriots speak of his persecution. What can I say? Here are the comments on the news about his arrest published by Oryol News:
“Let him sit, and for a long time”;
“Great news! One fled to Georgia, the second hanged himself last year, and this, I hope, will be closed for a long time! ”
“What did he teach children at school? Horror!"
About children, by the way, a good question. Fe. taught them to the German language. And it was the children, according to the teacher himself, that were perhaps the only ones who expressed him the words of support when initiating the very first criminal case - for the poem in which he condemned the events of the “Crimean spring”. He talked about this in the spring of 2015.
The process is that if it had not happened in real life, could become the basis for the satirical novel.

QUOTE
A fragment of the process over the teacher and poet former
“ - Feashev frankly supports the gap of our people. He supports the right of Ukrainians to independence and European choice. I think this is unacceptable. We are one people: Ukraine, with the exception, may be Galicia - this is Russia. With the help of his patrons, Fizhev calls on to the murders of Russians, ”said Vyacheslav Kostyakov, a witness and teacher of English of the Criminal high school.
- With what patrons? - asked the lawyer.
The witness hesed.
- Maybe it's Yatsenyuk or Turchinov? - continued the lawyer Schukov, with difficulty restraining the laughter. The prosecutor and the judge also looked at Kostyakov with a smile.
- No. These are members of the Russian Pen Center. I watched the program on TV. They are against Russia.
-What is a pen center? The judge asked. -Maybe a fan center? Or Pen?
Seeing that in the hall they nodded in the affirmative about the “Pen”, the chairman sighed and said: “How dark I am.”
-Do you have any evidence of the Pen-Center involvement in the sponsoring of the former? The lawyer asked.
- No. But to me Panferov, the director of Partner (Partner LLC, Kromy. - I. Zh. ), Said that the fraternity was transferred to the fraternity of 1.5 million rubles.
- What is the brethren? - Here the defendant himself could not refrain from laughter. - Is it a “goat of nostra” or Masons?
-Well, I also heard that Thamshev was going to Uniastrum Bank and gets translations there. - Kostyakov suddenly became not at all sure. - Although you know, probably, delete all this from the protocol. I would like to proof, but here some OBS turns out. One woman said. "
Teachers of the Kromsky school denounced formerly one after another. At first assertively, then - after the questions of the lawyer and formerly himself - not so confident. Maybe that's why the court gave the school teacher at six months of correctional labor.
But he failed - he continued to write poetry and did not defy Ukraine. For this, in 2018, he was sentenced to another 330 hours of correctional labor - in a criminal case, already instituted for another poem. And between these sentences - there were two more:
One for verses, and the second “for the obstruction of justice”-due to comments by the press regarding his persecution.
Not all cases ended with sentences: there were also cessions for the lack of composition. But the case of terrorism will hardly be stopped. And this is actually bad for the security forces from the chrome who took off the career staircase on the Meshevo one after another. For example, the main investigator in the first case of the teacher Dmitry Zubov became the deputy head of the inter -district administration of the Investigative Committee. The prosecutor of the Kromsky district Maxim Grishin, who in March 2014, gave the start of the investigation of that case, he soon went to the eagle - to the post of head of the Office for Supervision of the implementation of the federal legislation of the regional prosecutor's office.
And the senior assistant to the prosecutor Lilia Lavrova, who was once a student of formerly, initiated the inclusion of his poems in the register of extremist literature-and also received advance in Orel.
A simple man living in a simple two -story hut in a seven -thousandth village with two seriously ill parents, began to rise a very convenient tool for other, more obstructed inhabitants of this village. But now, perhaps, investigator Kapron, who conducts his “terrorist” case, will be able to build a career on the Kromsky poet.
In conversations with the correspondents of the “new” who visited the former in Kromama repeatedly, the same people who denounced him, admitted that they were not bad about him, especially since he wrote others - about nature until 2014.
“We supported you at home in the kitchen! We still support, but the situation you see what is around, Alexander Mikhailovich, so there is no need to be offended. You are an intelligent smart person! ” - the husband of the director of the Criminal School Vasily Agoshkov said under the journalist.
And he added: “Wife and I would be glad to take you back to school. But the school principal is still borneal, upstairs may not understand like that. ”
Well, today they are in a pre -trial detention center, and fellow countrymen are still bonded people.
