The official name is the Ministry of Justice (Justitia - Pecility), but why do we need Latin? In Russian it is somehow clearer. In addition, we consider it right to write the “ministry” with a small letter, and “justice” is large. Justice is the greatest value. Everyone needs.
The Federal Scientific Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences regularly conducts large-scale (representative!) Research. They show how the attitude of the people to the socio-political situation in Russia is changing.
In the 90-page report (where dozens of polls about specific economic and political problems, about the president, parties, anxiety, rights and freedoms) we liked the question of folk dreams and ideals most of all, which, as ours, are called concepts.
The survey is fresh, made in June 2023. The section is called "the distribution of respondents' opinions about concepts that could form the basis of the policy of the revival of Russia." "Could"! - These are the dreams of revival.
In the first place - justice. On the second - the world. (For orientation: Patriotism and culture divided the 9-10th places, spirituality and morality-15-16th, in the last, 30th place-religiosity.)
Before moving on, we note: the question of the “Renaissance Policy” itself indirectly suggests that the object is in a coma and needs intensive care (lat.) Or, in our opinion, in living water-a magical medicine from Russian folk tales.
A political journalist today is, alas, an assignor. But he, poor man, wants cleanliness and heights. Therefore, before diving into the cesspool of the surrounding reality, to Olympus!
The Soviet people really existed. Until 1991, for sure. But with the disappearance of the Soviet Union, he did not disappear. He remained and not all yet died out. He raised children, grandchildren who inherited not only the remnants of the territory, industry and science. The main thing is that we inherited the language, and with it (and inside it) a whole world of concepts, meanings, symbols. There, of course, the mat, the thieves' Fenya, and the thieves jargon. But there is also philosophy, mythology, world culture.

This is precisely the fortress that the authorities are constantly trying to take, but cannot. The walls of this fortress are surprisingly arranged. For Vysotsky, Galich, Nabokov, Okudzhava, Pushkin, etc. These walls do not exist; So no walls (except, maybe Kremlin) are not an air barrier.
And the speeches of all the leaders, all the Secretary Generals and presidents - no matter how you wrap them with TV compressors, radio, newspapers - do not pass through these walls. Like mosquitoes through a window grid: buzzing, puffing, but they die (although the units manage to break through, get drunk, but nothing - most importantly, do not comb).
The main barrier, invisible, but durable - above the pyramids and deer than bronze (Horace) - consisted and still consists of ancient Greek mythology. Yes, not from Judaism, Christianity, Islam-three Abrahamic religions, to some extent professed in state territory-namely from this pagan nonsense with a countless number of gods and goddesses.
Roman law? Who knew about him in the USSR? - One and a half people. And the “myths and legends of ancient Greece” were in every family or, say more precisely, in every reading family of the very reading country. Myths went to the child immediately after Kolobok, Repka and much earlier than Timur and his team, Pavlik Morozov and Pavka Korchagin.
Unlike children's fairy tales, myths and legends of ancient Greece are crowded with terrible bloody policies. In life, absolute humility reigned (at school, in Komsomol and up to the very top), and freedom raged in Hellenic myths.
The king of the gods Zeus either killed his father, or castrated, or drove forever into the underground kingdom; He cheated on his wife to the right and left. The child understood that for the supreme ruler, this is all absolutely normal. It is much more important that someone rebelled against Zeus, rebelled (sometimes very successful). The Olympic gods were divided into groups, intrigued against each other, created conspiracies, unions, and recruited supporters.
The members of the Olympic Politburo had a clear distribution of spheres of influence. Poseidon - Navy, Athena Pallas - wisdom, science; Apollo - art; Hermes - the god of crooks and merchants (this attitude towards merchants was assigned firmly); Ares is a war. In a sense, these were ministries.
At all times, in all countries, nations crave justice. Especially thirsty where it is not enough; And everything is stronger where it is not. And when in some country the rebels want to come to power and move troops to the capital, they call this “march of justice”; They know for sure that everyone wants justice - democrats, conservatives, left, right.
They always dreamed of justice and appreciated highly. In ancient mythology, the goddess of justice was called Astra. And you know who her parents were? Zeus and Femis are the king of the gods and the goddess of justice. Perfect political family: Supreme Ruler, Justice and Justice.
Let's go down from Olympus. In our latitudes and in our time, justice (justice) has turned into a ministry. The number of employees is 3551. How to find justice in such a crowd? There, perhaps, dozens of secretaries, shufflers, cleaners work - they do not take any participation in decisions. And we would be unfair by addressing our claims to all 3551. (For comparison: in the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of 465 employees, although they are supervised by all 145 million Russian citizens. Apparently, providing us with justice is a much more time -consuming process than ensuring work and pensions.)
Who prescribes a person with an ino -agent? Face? Commission? The label "foreign Agent" is a sentence. Who takes him? It is clear that not 3551. And who? During the years of the Stalinist terror, a person was arrested, the investigation began (often with torture), then the court and the sentence. This procedure was then called lawlessness, millions were rehabilitated. But the procedure, albeit formal, was still. The names of investigators and judges have survived and became known in the archives.
The foreigner is declared without investigation and court. The verdict is pronounced by the Ministry of Justice. Who?

Responsibility is usually assigned to the leadership. For military disasters - to the Ministry of Defense, on the generals. For errors in the appointment of people in foreign agents (if someday these errors are officially recognized), obviously, will be assigned to the leadership of the Ministry of Justice. You have already read about the Minister of Justice Chuychenko, but do you know these?
Zabarkchuk Evgeny Leonidovich, Loginov Andrey Viktorovich, Alkhanov Ali Dadashevich, Beskhmelnitsyn Maxim Mikhailovich, Vukolov Vsevolod Lvovich, Zhuykov Dmitry Sergeevich, Sviridenko Oleg Mikhailovich, Fyodorov Vadim Vitalievich, Ardabyeva Elena Anatolyevna.
These are nine deputies of the Minister of Justice. They did not become famous. More precisely, they were not famous for justice. In official income declarations, one of them has tens of millions of rubles a year, someone has hundreds; Land plots, apartments ... In official biographies - a kaleidoscope of posts and Gosnaggrad. And - not a single feat.
You read the names of the leaders of the Ministry of Justice, on behalf of which a person receives the stigma of the foreign agent (read - the enemy of the people). One of these officials fought for the rights of unfairly offended, fighting for justice?
If this happened, we would know about it. Unfortunately, this is such a rarity that a high rank fights for justice ... It would certainly become known.
The director of the shoe factory does not require feats; Good boots are everything you need. And from the leaders of the Ministry of Justice in Russia, all the same, I would like to know something except previous places of work, corruption scandals, state awards, property recorded for relatives, and income (declared).
Of these nine deputies of the minister, only Alkhanov was an ear. Since 1979, a policeman at Grozny Airport, an inspector of the threat in the North Caucasus, the head of the criminal police at the Grozny station. In 1983 he graduated from the school of transport police for some reason in Mogilev. In 1994 he graduated from the Rostov Higher Police School. Since 1994-Head of the Grozny Department of Internal Affairs in transport. Since 1997-senior operative officer of the North Caucasus Department of Internal Affairs. From 2000 to 2003-Head of the Grozny Linear Internal Affairs Directorate of Transport. Then, in April 2003, this railway policeman Akhmat Kadyrov appointed Chechnya Minister of Internal Affairs. And after the murder of Akhmat Kadyrov, Alkhanov since October 2004 became president of Chechnya; Birch a place for Ramzan. On February 15, 2007, Russian President Putin accepted Alkhanov’s resignation from the post of President Chechnya and on the same day appointed him as deputy minister of justice of Russia. On the same day! - So, the chair in the Ministry of Justice was ready in advance. And the police of Chechnya is exactly the place where justice is vaccinated for employees.
The first place in the speed of movement is divided by the Deputy Minister of Justice Sviridenko with Alkhanov. People heard much less about him. And in vain.
We publish a fragment of the transcript of the meeting of the VKKS (Higher Qualification Collegium of Judges), January 2020. The meeting was open to the press.
The statement by Sviridenko - deputy chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, chairman of the judicial board for economic disputes of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation was considered. He tried his best to stay in these positions, had important intercessors in the highest spheres. But the bowl of patience of the judicial community was crowded.

QUESTION. Oleg Mikhailovich, with what do you associate these stuffing (about real estate abroad. - Ed. )?
Sviridenko. This is a competition. People were so confused that they informed the community at once in two wives, the second and third, the second found, it really has this property, they didn’t even coordinate, but they forgot about the last wife, they, apparently, could not find it, because she is offended. I associate this with the fact that this is the struggle for the competitions that are being held. (It's about the struggle for a place in the Supreme Court. - Ed. )
QUESTION. Do you have any specific competitors?
Sviridenko. You know, in a market where very serious disputes are decided every day, they are better not to know them.
Shocking words. Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court, Chairman of the Judicial Collegium for Economic disputes of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, who daily decides very serious, multibillion -dollar disputes, calls the sphere of his activity a market. We will not risk arguing with this definition.
QUESTION. There is information that you have property issued for other persons in use, in particular, the names of Korshunov, Golikova, and entrepreneurs are called. Do you know these faces? And you use some property, how much is true?
Sviridenko. There is no property. No property is registered. Who is Korshunov, I don’t know at all, with Golikov.
QUESTION. There are complaints of the judges of Morozov, Pozdnyakov, not a nemus about interference in the consideration of cases. Cases are indicated here. And also the head of the Research Institute of Independence of Judges Kiryanov is the same. He says that the case of intervention is investigated, etc. We directed this information to you. What can you say?
Sviridenko. Yesterday I joined the case that it was falsified. As for the three judges, I, of course, can attach, show what things they had, I have. I do not consider it necessary to do this. I don’t even know the first two. I know Nemov. But these new judges ... Well, how do you imagine: the chairman of the collegium calls the judges - is it a great honor? They can be confused there so that they will lose the phone. If this is necessary, then any leader who is present here has another resource: there are chairmen of courts, deputies. Therefore, no one ever gains judges and does not call, including me. This is falsification.
Shocking recognition. We all know about the named "resource", guess. But not news is important here, but the recognition of the chairman of the judicial board on the economic disputes of the Supreme Court in that he uses the “resource”.
QUESTION. Oleg Mikhailovich, in the formation of a managerial system in the legislative system, there are cases when you actively support candidates for the position of judges and chairmen of the courts of persons who have previously refused the President of the Russian Federation in appointment or simply professionally not prepared for these positions.
Suppose a certain person who “actively supports candidates for the position of judges and chairmen of the courts of persons who have previously refused the President of the Russian Federation”, of course, can then call such a chairman on any issue that arises in this market.
Sviridenko. The refusal is different. And those who were denied a conflict of interests and removed the question through the Council of Judges, we really support them again. As for non -professional, you need to call specifically people who are not professionals.
QUESTION. I just can’t understand the phrase that you just said that you do not call the judges because they can drop the phone. For this, you supposedly have another technique.
Sviridenko. Perhaps there may be interaction with the chairman.
QUESTION. Explain this phrase, I did not understand something. And to whom are you calling?
Sviridenko. I’m not talking about calls, but that the information interaction is permissible with the chairmen of the courts regarding not the affairs of specific, any stories, any situations. For example, complaints received. I mean it. And I do not discuss specific affairs at all.
QUESTION. Why should judges drop the phone?
Sviridenko. From the surprise of the call of the chairman of the board. It happens. Maybe not to drop it.
Calls not for specific matters? About the weather? For clarifications of theoretical questions, they do not call “down”. On the contrary, in difficult cases, the judge appeals to the decisions of the Supreme Court. The explanations call "up". “Down” usually call to give an indication, order.
Sviridenko said that his call is a great honor for the judge. With such arrogance, calls “to consult” are excluded. High -size with the lower ones in the discussion does not enter. Gives a team, and that’s it.

A neat interrogation was not conducted by journalists, not human rights activists. The questions were mainly asked by N.V. Timoshin is the chairman of the VKKS - and high officials of the Supreme Court. But even he answers him evasively and irritated. And they, knowing that in the press hall, avoid calling some of the spokes with their names. Probably not to defeat your diocese. If this trial took place in some strict Congress, it would be enough to ask: which of the chairmen of lower courts did you call recently? Give at least one example. Ivanov? And what were you talking about with him? What are the general issues? And then directly from the meeting room to call this Ivanov: "Answer, what Sviridenko recently spoke to you." And that's it.
The unprofitable struggle for the posts of the deputy chairman of the Armed Forces and the head of the Economic College of the Armed Forces, where they are decided (either they are not resolved, or somehow strangely resolved multi-millionaire disputes)-not the only trouble in the biography of Sviridenko.
In 2015, Dissernet applied to the scientific community with a statement on the deprivation of Sviridenko to the degree of Doctor of Law. In his dissertation, according to Dissernet, 138 pages were supposedly discovered, let’s say, incorrect borrowing.
Dissertation Council of MGUA named after Kutafina refused to deprive his member of a doctoral degree.
The co -founder of Dissernet and one of the applicants Andrei Zazakin* asked if the participants in the meeting of the conflict of interest were seeing that they are considering the dissertation of their colleague on advice. The question was ignored.
And after the scandalous and failed attempt to sit in the chair of the deputy chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia, he was dismissed from the Supreme Court (this is officially called “authority in his position”) on August 5, 2020. On the same day, the Presidential Decree of Sviridenko was made by Deputy Minister of Justice, where exactly he “oversees foreign agents”.
On the same day! This means at the very top, at Olympus at Zeus, to whom the goddess of the wisdom of Athena, the goddess of justice of Femis, and the goddess of justice, are subordinate to fear - there, at Zeus, everything was decided in advance;
And Sviridenko, who, according to him, calls not to judges, but the chairmen of the courts, received to some extent to some extent to some extent the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia (225 thousand people) and the service of bailiffs - 74 thousand. Total 300 thousand fighters - the army.
Suppose such a miracle that none of the 3551 Head of the Russian justice is involved in corruption, it has no incomprehensible from the emerging foreign villas, secret accounts and gold toilets. All this becomes known only after the arrest, when representatives of state security take up the official - representative of state justice. And before the arrest, even reliable reports of villas and yachts can turn into a lawsuit in court: "Prove!" Can't you? You have 50 million. He is presented with convicting photos. "And this is not me." Даже если чиновника спрашивает не журналист, которого легко послать к какой-нибудь матери, даже если чиновника спрашивают на Совете судей: официально и в соответствии с законной процедурой, всё равно ответы выглядят грубыми, хотя и остающимися, можно сказать, в нормальной лексике.
А почему Свириденко так пренебрежительно отвечал? Потому что, предполагаю, заранее точно знал: если не удержится в зампредах Верховного суда, пересядет в зампреды Минюста…
Государство — аппарат принуждения. Даже если государство декларирует какую-то «справедливость», то, во-первых, не обязательно соблюдает свои обещания, во-вторых, понимает справедливость по-своему, в своих интересах.
Государственная справедливость — это что-то совсем иное, чем простая человеческая справедливость.
Там, где главный признак — государственность, всё приобретает особый, подчас шокирующе обратный смысл.
Сравните: «дума» — размышление, мысль; обычные эпитеты: глубокая, печальная, высокая. Совсем другое дело — «Государственная дума»: она всякая, но не высокая, не глубокая.
Государственная справедливость — примеры известны.
В СССР с 1918 по 1987 год государственная справедливость отправила на тот свет десятки миллионов людей; точное число жертв не узнаем никогда.
Государство может ошибаться. Ошибки человека, даже если он адский маньяк, стоят жизни нескольким десяткам жертв. Ошибки государства — десяткам миллионов.
Руанда (тутси и хуту). За три с половиной месяца — миллион жертв.
Китай, культурная революция. С 1965 года до смерти Мао Цзэдуна в 1976 году — большинство источников утверждает: 100 миллионов пострадавших.
Cambodia. С 1975 по 1978 год уничтожено около трёх миллионов жителей (мужчины, женщины, дети, старики — без разбора), 40% населения.
Мы добавляем к отечественной картине примеры из Африки и Азии, поскольку именно туда сейчас стремится Россия.
