Poklonskaya condemned the pro-Russian activist. Poklonskaya against Russians and Russia. But you were not immediately taken into custody

The face of the “Russian spring” is the former Crimean prosecutor, and the current patriotic State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya in 2005 as a state prosecutor participated in the trial of two pro-Russian activists, the publication “Note”.

Journalists managed to “unearth” that back in 2005, the current Russian jingoistic patriot acted as the state prosecutor in the case of the riots for which several pro-Russian activists were brought to justice. Riots occurred in the city of Armyansk, when local pro-Russian activists blocked the movement for a convoy with Maidan activists traveling to Crimea during the Orange Revolution. For this, Poklonskaya demanded 7.5 years in prison (!) For Viktor Sazhin, one of the defendants in this case.

Judging by the text of the verdict, which turned out to be at the disposal of the journalists, it was precisely the symbol of the “Russian Spring” and the State Duma deputy from “United Russia” N. Poklonskaya was the state prosecutor in the case of Viktor Sazhin and Alexander Kursakov (there can hardly be such coincidences in the place (it’s known that at that time she worked as an assistant prosecutor of the Krasnogvardeisky district of Crimea), time, name and surname.

According to Sazhin himself (who, like his then accomplice) was an activist of the Russian Community organization, on December 17, 2004, he and 300 other local residents, having learned that the Druzhba motor rally convoy arriving in Crimea with participants of the Maidan, went to the highway Kherson - Simferopol near the bus station of Armyansk, so as not to let the convoy into the Crimea. "I had the imprudence to shout," We are with Russia, we will not tolerate Americans here! ", And they tried to move me by car."

The Druzhba motorcade through Armyansk as a result did not pass and came back. After some time, Sazhin and Kursakov were arrested and sentenced to 2.5 months of arrest by the court of the city of Armyansk.

But the most interesting thing in this story is that Poklonskaya N.V., whose name as the state prosecutor is indicated in the sentence at the trial, demanded for Sazhina 7.5 years in prison for separatism. Once again: for separatism; seven and a half years

As a state prosecutor, Poklonskaya could release Sazhin on his own recognizance, the newspaper writes. But instead, he demands that he be sentenced to a maximum sentence of 7.5 years in prison.

Victor Sazhin

It is characteristic that the Ukrainian court turned out to be more humane than the future prominent member of United Russia and found this punishment to be excessively cruel, having sentenced Sazhin to 2.5 months of arrest for participating in mass riots and released him in the courtroom, taking into account the time spent in the pre-trial detention center. Kursakov (his accomplice) escaped with a fine. The funny thing about the situation is that both (obviously already as citizens of the Russian Federation) still have an outstanding criminal record. The publication reports that, because of the verdict, Sazhin lost his job and still, despite the fact that the power has changed, has not been rehabilitated.

According to media reports, Poklonskaya herself does not recognize her participation in this process and calls the press reports “nonsense”.

According to the journalists of the Notes, after information about his case began to be disseminated in the media and social networks, he began to receive threats in his address by telephone.

Formerly the chief prosecutor of Crimea, this is not the first time that has attracted media attention with not the most beautiful stories. It turned out that the image of the heroine of the Crimean spring, an ardent crime fighter and patriot of Russia hides another dark spot. Journalists of the publication "Notes" believe that in 2005 Poklonskaya acted as the state prosecutor and demanded the maximum possible punishment for the activist of the Russian community.

The inhabitants of the peninsula greet the third anniversary of the Crimean spring with lost illusions. One of the losses was the bright image of Natalia Poklonskaya. The ex-public prosecutor’s immoderate passion for Nicholas II turned her from a symbol of returning to her homeland into an object of irony. And here is a new spot in the sun: it turned out that in 2005, speaking as a state prosecutor in court, a certain N.V. Poklonskaya demanded 7.5 years in prison for the activist of the Russian community, Viktor Sazhin, because he was trying to stop the train with the Orange Revolution participants who were going to “re-educate” Crimea. This conviction broke Sazhin’s life and has not yet been lifted. Known to everyone, Poklonskaya became a deputy of the State Duma and a patriot of the Russian Federation.

The image of the heroine of the Crimean spring and a selfless fighter against crime began to crack for quite some time. When Natalya Poklonskaya was a Crimean prosecutor, local public activists repeatedly complained that their messages to the prosecutor’s office about corruption were left without proper attention, and the loud statements of the republic’s prosecutor about the fight against her were decorative. A serious blow to the reputation of Poklonskaya was her inappropriate access to the procession of the "Immortal Regiment" on May 9 with the icon of Nicholas II. Then, having already become a State Duma deputy, she spoiled her image by an odious struggle with the film directed by Alexei Uchitel “Matilda”, trying to prove to the Russian audience that the last autocrat, canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church, was a saint in real life and forbid the film. But, perhaps, this is not all the “skeletons in the closet" of the beginning federal politician.

At the disposal of the “Notes” was a copy of the verdict of the City Court of Armyansk. According to the document, in 2005 the state prosecutor N.V. Poklonskaya (according to the official biography, at that time Natalya Poklonskaya worked as an assistant prosecutor of the Krasnogvardeisky region of Crimea) spoke at the trial against local pro-Russian activists and supporters of Viktor Yanukovych. In 2004, after the first Maidan, they did not let the convoy of participants of the "Orange Revolution" and supporters of Viktor Yushchenko to the Crimea. According to one of the defendants of the time, the state prosecutor demanded to imprison him for 7.5 years.

This event made a lot of noise in due time. The "orange" went to "enlighten" the Crimeans and inspire them with due respect for the new president of Ukraine, who lost the presidential election, but ultimately came to power as a result of the Maidan and subsequent coup. Recall that in the Crimea in those elections, 52% of the population voted for Yushchenko's rival, Viktor Yanukovych.

A supporter of Yanukovych was then a 23-year-old member of the Russian community of Crimea, a resident of Armyansk, Viktor Sazhin. On December 17, 2004, he and another 300 local residents, having learned that a road train with members of the Maidan from the Pora! Organization was moving to Crimea, went to the side of the Kherson-Simferopol highway in the vicinity of the Armyansk bus station in order not to let the “oranges” go to Crimea.

The road train participants, among whom there were many immigrants from western Ukraine, were also determined. The clash was inevitable - and it happened

“They were inadequate, with glass eyes,” Sazhin recalls in an interview with Notes. -– They threw oranges at people, a word skirmish began. I had the imprudence to shout “We are with Russia, we will not tolerate Americans here!”, And they tried to move me by car. ”

Crimeans were able to organize a rebuff and the "orange" were forced to leave, they could not enter the Crimea. And a year later - in December 2005 - Sazhin was arrested on charges of disturbing public order.

Sazhin's arrest

“At the time of my arrest, I had been working in Simferopol for a year now,” Sazhin says. - Moved up the career ladder, became director of the salon of a mobile phone store. He rented an apartment, lived with a girl. One fine day, an investigator came to work with me and said that I had been wanted for several months already. ”

An activist of the Russian community came to the Crimean Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, where he was informed that he was accused of organizing an illegal rally and hooliganism. It turned out that in his case there were already several courts, while Sazhin himself could not be found. The activist is given a signature on recognizance not to leave Simferopol. And after a while they are sent to court in Armyansk.

“I hand over my passport, I go to court,” Sazhin recalls. “The judge, a young guy whom I saw a couple of times in the gym, recuses himself, saying that he allegedly is on friendly terms with me - after which the verdict of the previous judge on detention comes into force.”

It turns out that while Sazhin, who had not suspected anything, worked in Simferopol, someone forged his signature on a recognizance not to leave from Armyansk, where the defendant had not been for almost a year.

So in the life of Sazhin, a nightmare began. He was locked up in a temporary detention center in Armyansk with nine tuberculosis in the cell, mattresses on the floor and a bucket for stools in the corner.

“They kept me there for a week. As I did not become infected, I have no idea. The toilet was allowed twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, the rest of the time everyone went to the bucket. They fed “Mivina” three times a day (the same as “Doshirak” - approx. Ed.). When the journalists began to write about me, the head of the prison called me and said that there were no better rooms. And then he got angry: “Do you want better conditions?” Go to jail. " So I was transferred to a Simferopol pre-trial detention center. ”

It was from there that Sazhin, in the Stolypin carriage, was taken several times to court hearings in the City Court of Armyansk, where N.V. appears Poklonskaya.

According to the activist, he did not pay attention to the name of the state prosecutor. The fact that it was she, he learned in ten years - already in Russia. Friends sent him a copy of the verdict (“Notes” are at the disposal), in which the name and initials are written in black and white, completely matching the name of the ex-prosecutor of Crimea, and now the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. He himself remembered the prosecutor as "a red-haired girl, in a sweater under her throat, all in gold."

The "Red-haired Girl" played a cruel joke with him: as a state prosecutor, she could release Sazhin on his own recognizance. But instead, he says, she demanded that the defendant be given the maximum sentence: 7.5 years in prison.

The prosecutor motivated this demand by the fact that activists infringed on “the right of citizens to free movement” and violated public order, recalls Sazhin. There were, according to him, reproaches for infringing on the territorial integrity of Ukraine (there is no such qualification in the court verdict).

Sazhin at that process generally had a hard time. “I had two lawyers, the first drowning me worse than the prosecutor,” he recalls. - It was given to me by Sergey Tsekov (from 2003 to the present - the chairman of the Russian community of Crimea, since 2014 - a member of the Federation Council of Russia from the Republic of Kazakhstan - approx. Ed.). When I asked him what was the matter, he answered: Vitya, we will make you a deputy. I replied that while they were making me a convict, I asked for a change of lawyer. The second lawyer was able to help me. ”

It is interesting that not a single participant in the scandalous “orange” road train visited them during the entire trial, says Viktor Sazhin. Their lawyer came only once, spoke briefly dryly and left, the case was conducted with virtually no opponents. The only real opponent for the pro-Russian activist at these meetings was N.V. Poklonskaya.

Sentence

As a result, Sazhin was sentenced to 2.5 months in prison on charges of disturbing public order. He was credited with the period of stay in the pre-trial detention center and was released in the courtroom. Sazhin’s associates are convinced that he would have been a separatist for 7.5 years if it hadn’t been for the wide campaign for Sazhin’s release in the media of Crimea and Ukraine. In their opinion, another factor also played a role: Yushchenko was afraid that the activist thrown into jail would gain the status of a hero in the eyes of Crimeans. And so he quietly went out as a hooligan criminal.

Victor was fired immediately from work, without waiting for the court. “I worked in Simferopol at UMC, and our boss was from Lviv, very pro-Ukrainian,” the activist recalls. “He did not need a supporter of Russia at work.”

Now Victor is 36 years old, he lives in Kerch, where he is known and respected as one of the activists who brought the return of the city and peninsula to Russia. Sazhin was one of those who, together with Konstantin Yermanov, removed the Ukrainian flag from the flagpole in front of the Kerch City Council on 23 February 2014 and hoisted the Russian one there. This time, he was not tried for Russian patriotism - but the 2005 criminal record was not removed.

Because of this criminal record, Sazhin could not get a normal job for a long time. He says that he dreamed of becoming a deputy and, being a naturally active person, would surely become him. Now he has a small travel agency and things are not going well: there are few tourists.

The situation is glaring and wild, but in the Russian Crimea Sazhin is not the only one. With an unchanged Ukrainian conviction for pro-Russian separatism, Valeriy Podyachyi, an activist of the Popular Front "Sevastopol-Crimea-Russia", has not been able to get a job for the third year already. He taught mathematics and worked at the university, but in 2016 he was fired because of a criminal record: this is the requirement of Russian legislation. Amazingly, under Ukraine this did not stop him from working.

To abolish the criminal record, Sazhin and Podyachy need a law on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression in Crimea. They promise to accept him for a year. The draft amendments to the law "On the rehabilitation of victims of political repression" has already been submitted to the State Duma by a deputy from the Communist Party of the last convocation, Ivan Nikitchuk. The document provides for the rehabilitation of persons convicted of “appeals and actions aimed at reuniting the territory of the Republic of Crimea with the Russian Federation”.

“There are several dozen people with the same problem in Crimea now. They actively advocated the reunification of Crimea with Russia before the summer of 2014, and we simply must help them now, ”the deputy said last March. But Nikitchuk did not have time to consider the project before the election of the new composition of the Russian parliament, and now his fate remains unknown.

The Senate and State Duma deputies from the Crimea could completely re-introduce the bill, but not one of them came up with such an initiative. Instead, Sergei Tsekov suggests returning the royal names to the streets of Simferopol, and Natalya Poklonskaya multiplies monuments to Nicholas II.

“They don’t need it. They say that Crimea returned to Russia thanks to the so-called “winning team”. And if they admit that before them there were people who fought for the return of Crimea to Russia and suffered from it, then it turns out that they are not so heroes, ”says Valery Podyachy’s colleague Vadim Mordashov.

But back to more than ten years ago.

One of those who went through the case with Sazhin was an activist of the People’s Democratic Party of Ukraine (PDPU) Alexander Liev. During the 2004 Orange Revolution, he lived in Armyansk and supported Viktor Yanukovych. The court, from which Sazhin suffered, withdrew the charges from Liev. In 2010, he became Minister of Resorts and Tourism of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Liev did not accept the Crimean spring and now works in Kiev - he is the head of the Ukrainian Hospitality Industry Association.

Liev does not remember the appearance of the state prosecutor, but notes that it was "a matter very quickly concocted by the prosecutor's office." “The fact that Poklonskaya at that time executed a political order from the prosecutor’s office to carry out reprisals against political opponents is a fact,” Liev said.

“Whose will you be?”

Information about the details of the 2005 trial against Viktor Sazhin began to pop up in Russian and Russian-language social networks since last year. In August, the Russian patriotic portal Novoross.Info. reported on the ambiguous role in the process of the current Senator from the Crimea, Sergei Tsekov. In January-February 2016, the major Kiev publication “Left Bank” remembered the role of Natalia Poklonskaya in this case. However, copies of court documents in the case of Sazhin with the name of the state prosecutor N.V. Poklonskaya was not previously published.

It is noteworthy that as soon as this story began to emerge in RuNet, Viktor Sazhin, as he said, started calling from unknown numbers, demanding to “forget” this story under the threat of physical reprisal.

Maybe we are talking about some other N.V. Poklonskaya? Maybe this is some incredible coincidence, and in the trial of Sazhin, 7.5 years of imprisonment for him was demanded by a bright girl not familiar to all of us, a patriot of Russia - but someone else? Maybe the "red-haired girl, all in gold" - it was not her?

“Notes” phoned Natalia Poklonskaya and asked if it was true that in 2005 she acted as a public prosecutor at the trial of the activist of the Russian community of Crimea Viktor Sazhin.

“You would have remembered the 95th,” answered Natalya Vladimirovna. “Do you know how many defendants I had?”

To a clarifying question, does she remember how Sazhin demanded 7.5 years of imprisonment for participating in obstructing the Orange Revolution activists from traveling on the "road train of friendship", the Russian State Duma deputy replied: "Don’t tell bullshit."

“If someone says something, then go and ask him, why are you calling me? - she said. “Make an official request, we’ll raise the documents, we’ll understand what, where, when, we’ll demand materials from the prosecutor’s office, where, in what processes I took part as the state prosecutor ... I had so many defendants in a year that you probably had fewer articles” .

We sent a request to the State Duma and are waiting for an answer. But even if it turns out that in 2005 two N.V. worked in the organs of the Crimean prosecutor’s office Poklonsky with different political views - the combination of the cult of Nicholas II and the cult of Victory over fascism in public statements of the former prosecutor of the Republic of Kazakhstan leaves open the question of who she really is, this attractive young woman. Alice in the Looking Glass, who went out into the world, where is the opposite? But then what is her real world?

I will start this post with an article by Andrey Timeskov.

Many are sure that native Ukrainian Natalya Poklonskaya (Nataliya Volodimirіvna Poklonska) from a young age was a patriot of Russia. Have to disappoint them.

As a prosecutor, Natalya Poklonskaya demanded maximum sentences for the opponents of the “zapadentsev” in Crimea. That is, with all the severity of the law, she judged pro-Russian citizens of Ukraine).

Before the power in Crimea changed, the current ardent admirer of the "Russian Imperial House" diligently served the successors of the hetman Mazepa (V. Yushchenko and Y. Tymoshenko).

And, if it were not for the will of chance, then it is quite possible that with no less enthusiasm she would now announce the myrrh-streaming bust of Stepan Bandera.

However, judge for yourself: in 2005, speaking as a state prosecutor in court, she demanded 7.5 years in prison for Viktor Sazhin, an activist of the Russian Community. (According to the official biography, at that time Natalya Poklonskaya worked as an assistant prosecutor of the Krasnogvardeisky district of Crimea, which was then part of Ukraine).

7.5 years she demanded prison for the fact that after the first Maidan in 2004, Viktor Sazhin and his comrades did not miss to Crimea motorcade of the Orange Revolution participants and supporters of Viktor Yushchenko, who went to “re-educate” Crimea !!!

The "orange" went to "enlighten" the Crimeans and inspire them with due respect for the new president of Ukraine, Mr. V. Yushchenko, who lost in the presidential election, but in the end came to power as a result of the Maidan. (Recall that in the Crimea in those elections, 52% of the population voted for Yushchenko’s rival, Viktor Yanukovych. Viktor Yanukovych, then a 23-year-old member of the Crimean Russian Community, a resident of Armyansk, Viktor Sazhin, was also a supporter.

On December 17, 2004, he and another 300 local residents, having learned that a road train with members of the Maidan from the organization “Pora!” Was moving to the Crimea, went to the side of the Kherson-Simferopol highway near the Armyansk bus station in order not to let the “oranges” go to Crimea.

The road train participants, among whom there were many immigrants from western Ukraine, were also determined. The clash was inevitable - and it happened.

"They were inadequate, with glass eyes, - Sazhin recalls. A. - They threw oranges at people, a verbal skirmish began. I had the imprudence to scream “We are with Russia, we will not tolerate Americans here!”, And they tried to move me by car! ” .

Crimeans were able to organize a rebuff and the “orange” were forced to leave, they failed to enter the Crimea. And a year later - in December 2005 - Viktor Sazhin was arrested on charges of disturbing public order.

Sazhin's arrest

“At the time of my arrest, I had been working in Simferopol for a year now,” Sazhin says. - Moved up the career ladder, became director of the salon of a mobile phone store. He rented an apartment, lived with a girl. One fine day, an investigator came to my work and said that I’ve been wanted for several months now. ”.

An activist of the Russian community came to the Crimean Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, where he was informed that he is accused of organizing an illegal rally and hooliganism. It turned out that in his case there were already several courts, while Sazhin himself could not be found. The activist is given a signature on recognizance not to leave Simferopol. And after a while they are sent to court in Armyansk.

So in the life of Sazhin, a nightmare began.

He was locked up in a temporary detention center in Armyansk with nine tuberculosis in the cell, mattresses on the floor and a bucket for stools in the corner. From there, Sazhin was taken several times to court hearings in the city court of Armyansk in the Stolypin carriage, where N.V. appears Poklonskaya. He then did not pay attention to the name of the state prosecutor.

The fact that it was she, he learned in ten years - already in Russia. Friends sent him a copy of the verdict, in which the name and initials are written in black and white, in Russian, which completely coincide with the name of the ex-prosecutor of Crimea, and now the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

Sazhin himself remembered the accuser as "a red-haired girl, in a sweater under her throat ...".

"Their paths crossed in December 2005 in the hall of the city court of the city of Armyansk of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Young, 23-year-old Viktor Sazhin was a pro-Russian activist, tried for this by the Ukrainian authorities. And the young (only two years older) Natalya Poklonskaya - the state prosecutor for his criminal case on the part of Ukraine.
- You know, when our local journalists unearthed all this, I was very surprised. I don’t remember her at all. That is, I remember that i had three prosecutors in the process, by the way, all the women, and one, the very last one, a girl, red-haired, thin, in a turtleneck. A modest one, she read out the accusation in a boring, monotonous voice, says Viktor Sazhin. - The only thing that struck my memory was how she, all in jewelry, came to the courtroom, on each finger a golden ring, or even two, a two-finger thick golden chain, even she didn’t wear one like that. But I don’t remember her face at all, and her surname, to be honest, too.
- And how did you know that this is Natalya?
- Yes, I did not recognize. For me, all this is a thing of the past. I even lost my sentence somewhere. For all the years that have passed since the trial, I never needed him.
Then one of my subscribers sent me an electronic copy to the social network. Well, threw it and threw it off. Then Crimean journalists unexpectedly turned to me to tell me about those events, and finally, they asked:“And what about Poklonskaya?”
I ask: "What is Poklonskaya?"They say: “Well then, your public prosecutor, the Ukrainian prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya, who has been demanding seven and a half years for you! Because you are for Russia and against Ukraine. ”
And I have nothing to answer ... Although yes, the document really does: state prosecutor Poklonskaya N.V. But I honestly don’t remember her. "

"Red-haired girl" played a cruel joke with him: as a state prosecutor, she could release Sazhin on his own recognizance. But instead, she demanded that the defendant be sentenced to the maximum sentence: 7.5 years in prison!

Poklonskaya motivated this demand by the fact that activists infringed on “the right of citizens to free movement” and violated public order- recalls Sazhin. Sounds, according to him, and reproaches of encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine ...

Sazhin was then very lucky that the court included people who, unlike Poklonskaya, were sympathetic towards Russia, without waiting for a change of power in Crimea. As a result, Sazhin was sentenced to 2.5 months in prison on charges of disturbing public order. He was credited with the period of stay in the pre-trial detention center and was released in the courtroom.

Sazhin’s companions are sure that he would have sat for 7.5 years separatist, if not for the wide campaign in his defense in the media of the Crimea and Ukraine. In their opinion, another factor also played a role: Yushchenko’s associates were afraid that the activist thrown into jail would gain the status of a hero in the eyes of Crimeans. And so he quietly went out like hooligan. However, Victor was fired immediately from work, without waiting for the court.

“I worked in Simferopol at the UMC company, and our boss was from Lviv, very pro-Ukrainian, - the activist recalls. “He didn’t need a Russian supporter at work.”. Because of this criminal record, Sazhin still cannot become a deputy, although he always wanted to ...

The situation is glaring and wild, but in the Russian Crimea Sazhin is not the only one. With the unchanged Ukrainian conviction “for pro-Russian separatism”, Valery Podyachy, an activist of the Popular Front “Sevastopol-Crimea-Russia”, has not been able to get a job for the third year already. He taught mathematics and worked at the university, but in 2016 he was fired because of a criminal record: this is the requirement of Russian legislation.

On the territory of Crimea there are now several dozen people of the same victims of Poklonskaya who actively advocated the reunification of Crimea with Russia before the summer of 2014 and were convicted of “Calls and actions aimed at reuniting the territory of the Republic of Crimea with the Russian Federation” .

Now they all have a defeat in civil rights, but they are unlikely to rehabilitate them.

When journalists phoned Natalya Poklonskaya and asked if it was true that in 2005 she acted as the state prosecutor at the trial of the activist of the Russian Community of Crimea Viktor Sazhin, she replied: “You would have remembered about the 95th, - Do you know how many defendants I had? ... I have so many defendants in a year that you probably have fewer articles”.

I believe that the foregoing is enough for a thoughtful reader to think about the depth of pro-Russian patriotism of Deputy Poklonskaya. And about whose interests it actually serves !?

Today I happened to read an article by my friend Vitaly Chumakov: in which he also mentioned Natalia Poklonskaya.

Currently, a flurry of publications on the topic of the odious, extremely harmful for Russia film "Matilda", supported by the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky, has fallen, especially since the attitude of the Russian authorities to this problem, as well as the attitude to those who criticize Judaism and the Chabad reactionary sect, are for six months before the presidential election, may adversely affect the election for those in power.

This film is not just an innocent amusement about the romance of the prince and the ballerina, it is more dangerous than the explosion of a nuclear bomb, as it sowed the teeth of a dragon of a new ideological Civil War in the country.

Society has already split into adherents of the director Alexey Teacher and State Duma Natalia Poklonskaya.

And here, to the trouble of us all, film director Alexei Uchitel woke up with his film the organization that had been little known before the emergence of “passions for Matilda”, which had existed since 2010, and since 2013 it received the name "Christian state" (CG), as if by analogy with the famous extremist organization "Islamic State" (ISIS).

Members of "HG" have already begun to actively oppose the screening of the film "Matilda" in Russia.

The excuse - Nicholas II was canonized by the church as a martyr, which means he is a saint, and therefore - keep his hands off him. And they began to speak harshly and uncompromisingly.

It is they, the members of "HG", who send letters to the cinemas in which they warn that some caring Christians can burn down the establishment for the rental of "Matilda". Moreover, not the "Christian state" threatens arson. “HG”, on the contrary, only “carefully warns” that some can do it fanatics. Of course, they have nothing to do with the organization.

And this is a very smart and comfortable position. The siloviki had already visited the members of the "Christian state" when they were resting in the house of their leader: https://cont.ws/@slavikapple/719939

What kind of fanatics were hinted at by the leaders of the "Christian State" it became clear just yesterday.

The spokesman for the Christian State organization was related to the right-wing nationalist Ukrainian group Right Sector, which was banned in Russia. This is stated in the investigation of Reedus.

Two people are featured in publications about the new organization: a self-proclaimed leader Alexander Kalininand spokesperson Miron Kravchenko.

The source of the publication in the Moscow Patriarchate stated that both organizers are “mishandled Cossacks”.

About the leader of the "Christian state" Alexandra Kalinin there is not much information. He himself claims to be from the Lipetsk region, and studied at the Azov branch of the Russian State Social University in the Rostov Region. Local priests have not heard of any of these regions about Kalinin.

About the organization's press secretary Miron Kravchenko more information. In 2006, he was called a member of the nationalist right-wing radical organization "Russian National Union." The group gained fame after the detonation of an explosive device at the Cherkizovsky market. In 2009, the organization was recognized as extremist and banned in Russia.

After that, Kravchenko went to the Cossacks. His chieftain was the notorious figure Pavel Trukhin, who called himself "Russian Orthodox fascist." Under his leadership, Miron Kravchenko even became Yesaul. In 2010, the future spokesman for the Christian State left for Murmansk, where he organized the nationalist movement and took part in organizing the first Russian March in the region. At the end of the Euromaidan, Kravchenko left for Kiev, where he took part in "Founding Conference on the Creation of the Anti-Putin Information Front". There he was featured as the "coordinator of the scenario of the civil war in Russia." After this activity, his photos of the “zigigant” remained on the network against the background of the banner of an extremist organization banned in Russia "Right sector".

The publication notes that Kravchenko is probably the real leader of the “Christian state”, using Kalinin as a cover.

It is curious that in an interview with the Pskov Province newspaper, Miron Kravchenko, when asked about Poklonskaya, stated the following:

- ... We have a division of labor. Everyone does his own thing.

Did you contact her? How much do you support her? How much does she support you?

- So far we are not acting in conjunction, because everyone should advance on their own front. We denote the intentions of the activists, it comes along the prosecutorial part. Of course, it would be strange if Poklonskaya took the Molotov cocktail and went to throw it at the cinema. Yes? But Orthodox activists, especially young people, are younger than us ... They are ready to act by radical methods ...

Of course, the most convenient thing now is to think that this Miron Kravchenko, the main fighter with the film "Matilda", maliciously substitutes Natalia Poklonskaya, saying that they have a "division of labor" in the field of organizing a civil war in Russia.

However, be that as it may, whether this is a coincidence or not, the actions of both of them: Miron Kravchenko and Natalya Poklonskaya are actually diverse active work to bring Russian society into a pyrophoric (self-igniting) state.

It is possible that the ex-prosecutor N. Poklonskaya, who is a big fan of Tsar Nicholas II and actively supports the idea of \u200b\u200breturning the monarchy to Russia today, does not realize this and, as they say, "does not know what he is doing." Maybe! Then she is just a dangerous person, dressed in the mandate of a deputy of the State Duma of Russia!

Poklonskaya and Maria Romanova (Bagration-Mukhranskaya).

Not only did Poklonskaya create enormous social tension in the Russian society on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 revolution with the film Matilda, raising an unprecedented hype around it, but in parallel it created no less social tension with its support for the adventure to revive the Russian monarchy in the person of some left "heirs" of the Romanov’s house - Maria Vladimirovna Romanova (from mother Bagration-Mukhranskaya) and Prince George.

I talked about this in detail in the article:

And now I want to ask my readers: for one Natalia Poklonskaya, who recently changed her Ukrainian citizenship to Russian, are there too many political events connected with her, and an extra class ?!

"This is a clinic, it is necessary to treat!": State Duma deputies condemned Poklonskaya

The State Duma Committee on Culture discussed the situation around the film directed by Alexei Uchitel "Matilda" and condemned the deputy Natalya Poklonskaya, who opposed the release of the film for rent. The committee members decided to watch the film before the premiere at a closed screening.

The premiere of the film is scheduled for October 25. The deputies decided to discuss it now after the arson of cars near the house of the lawyer of Teacher and the collision of a minibus with gas cylinders in the cinema building in Yekaterinburg.

In addition, this week, Russia's largest cinema chain, Formula Kino and Cinema Star, said it would not show Matilda due to threats. And the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky called the attempt to pressure the cinemas "pure water lawlessness and censorship." Medinsky condemned the State Duma deputy Natalia Poklonskaya, who became the most violent critic of the film:

"I don’t know what considerations Dear Madame Poklonskaya is guided by, starting and supporting this blast." "Mini ISIS begins!"

At a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Culture, its leader, director Stanislav Govorukhin also connected the incidents with Poklonskaya: “All dark forces, all whoopers, crazy people, vandals, anti-Semites, obscurantists revived. They set fire to cars of innocent people, a truck broke through the cinema building. This ISIS mini begins. "

“At the beginning of the 20th century, such a story already existed. We had the Black Hundred organization, which, from the best Orthodox position with banners, started pogroms. So, because of the Matilda, pogroms have already begun, and it will be worse. This is a terrible trend.”- said the first deputy chairman of the committee, Elena Drapeko (Fair Russia).

"If this is not strangled in the bud, we will get ISIS, only Orthodox, she added. “We all condemn our colleague Poklonskaya, because it was she who initiated the driving of the wedge into the crack in our society.”

“Novoross. info ”- While many former Ukrainian officials today receive awards as participants in the return of Crimea, many heroes of the Crimean resistance who have gone through Ukrainian dungeons have not yet been rehabilitated and bear the stigma of a“ felon ”.

One of such participants in the Crimean resistance, Viktor Sazhin, told how he ended up behind bars as a result of resistance to the Ukrainian Nazis, and about the role of the current senator Sergei Tsekov in the Russian community’s trial.

- Victor, tell us what happened to you in 2004?

Not everyone already remembers how, in December 2004, Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko sent a “friendship train” to Crimea - a motorcade of hundreds of cars with Bandera thugs to educate Crimeans in the spirit of the “Orange Revolution”. But my life, this episode broke in half - before and after.

The news of the "orange road train" in the Crimea spread like lightning, and at the entrance to Armyansk he was met by thousands of 3-4 activists of youth organizations of various political parties, and I am among them. On our polite advice not to go further, not to annoy the pro-Russian Crimeans, clearly stoned, with glass eyes, the “banderlogs” began to shower us with oranges, which were carried in carts with them. To whom it was pleasant, I had to mash them a little, turn a couple of cars ...

Actually, our action was called picketing and aimed to show that nobody needs their rotten oranges in Crimea, let them eat them themselves. But since the first time it didn’t come, the picketing turned into a "demonstration by the working people" of their civic position. From the second time, it seemed to happen - they hid along ravines and as if the incident had been exhausted, but it wasn’t there.

After the unlawful victory of Yushchenko, it occurred to someone in Kiev to arrange a demonstration flogging of the rebellious Crimeans, and again everything was mediocre - they opened a case under contrived articles and fictitious actions.

“Did anyone else get involved in this case except you?”

Two Crimean deputies initially appeared, but quickly lagged behind them - it was politically unprofitable to stick out their role in the media, these were Oleg Slyusarenko, a representative of the Russian community of Crimea and Alexander Liev, a member of the People’s Democratic Party. In their pocket was the deputy mandate of the Supreme Council of Crimea, and they used this excuse to take them out of business. And they decided to punish me approximately so that it would be disgraceful for others ...

- What part did the Russian community of Crimea take in your defense against political repression?

But this is a very interesting story. The Russian community found and paid me a lawyer, only some strange one - instead of protecting the client, that is, me, this girl clearly drowns me, asks provocative questions and confuses me with them. I am at a loss - if this is a lawyer, then who is the prosecutor? But the real prosecutor sees what kind of turn the matter takes, that his voluntary assistant showed up and, the time is uneven, they will really banish me for seven years - he knew that everything was sucked out of his finger - he charged me with the main article. Then I went into battle - I give the challenge to the “lawyer” and begin to defend myself.

Once Sergey Pavlovich Tsekov, the chairman of the Russian community of Crimea, personally submitted a process to Armyansk, and I ask him because of the bars - for some reason, he slipped me such a defender. The answer struck me: Vitya, he says, you don’t understand - the longer you sit, the longer we will be able to wave as you banner, and if you leave, we’ll make a deputy and surround us with honor. Uh, no, I’m saying that such a plan doesn’t suit me, thanks for such honor and respect, and further I defended myself.

In general, do you think that at that time was the Russian community of Crimea an organization expressing the interests of Russians, or was it fighting for the return of Crimea to Russia?

Well, look, what was this so-called community doing? Concerts, festivals, round tables, wreath-laying, kokoshniki and kalachi for a samovar - is it really a struggle for the rights of Russians in their own land, for Crimea is not Australia, where the Russians came to emigrate! And even more so - is this a struggle for the return of Crimea to Russia? With such a “community,” Russians became in the Crimea as emigrants or disguised Indians on American reservations. And then what kind of name is this for an organization where the overwhelming population is Russian and for which Russian culture is native - “community”, something small, miserable and praying, almost knee-deep: uncles are Ukrainian nationalists, let us in kokoshniks for sit with a samovar, dream about the "Russian birch", and then again we will hopak dance to your tune ...

Forgive me my emotionality, but when in court the paperwork goes on “mov”, when annotations for drugs are written on “mov”, when even loan agreements and all the paperwork on “mov”, when even poor old people and children are forced to do their popular TV shows and cartoons look at “mov” and not otherwise, but textbooks on literature, where Pushkin turned out to be a foreign writer, and on history, where Russia is the eternal enemy of the Ukrainian people - what is this if not ethnocide? I'm not talking about the fact that our autonomy had less rights than in any region of Ukraine, the expression of will of the Crimeans in three referenda was violated. But did any of the leaders of the Russian community at least once truly defend the true interests of the vast majority of Crimeans - Russians in the Crimea, or dare to advocate the return of Crimea to Russia? I have not heard about this. Not a single statement or document of the “community” before the return of Crimea to its native harbor was accomplished, did anyone not only raise the question, but did not stutter about the return of Crimea to Russia! Moreover, even in the last days of February 2014, Tsekov in his interview said something about "integrity" and only ... about the "Russian Word" festival ...

And were there organizations that reflected the genuine interests and aspirations of Russians on the peninsula during the years of Ukrainian occupation?

You know, at that time I did not really follow the political processes, it is now becoming more interested and analyzing. But by ear, like this, without delving deeply, this is the People’s Front “Sevastopol-Crimea-Russia”, I remember his very sonorous and daring actions in Sevastopol. I also remember watching on TV how these guys mailed President Yushchenko a coffin with the Constitution of Ukraine, tearing out a section about Crimea from it, it was funny and bold.

They did not try to get in touch with the leaders of this organization, and were they an example of resistance to the Neo-Bandera regime for you?

Honestly, at that time I had no time for it, I almost thundered into prison for my own struggle, and besides, I had to arrange my fate after I was almost broken.

I heard about the leader of the Front, Valeria Podyach, who, like me, was put on trial. “Breakthrough” was also an interesting organization, the guys were digging, cut off Crimea from Ukraine, “Crimean Tatars for an alliance with Russia” flashed somewhere in the press, “Vera” was also heard, but I can’t say anything about these leaders did not hear about them. But they put the question on a fundamental plane - about the return of Crimea to Russia, therefore they remembered and supported the Russian spirit in the Crimeans, and did not take round dance under the supervision of professional "Russians" like Sergey Tsekov.

- How do you assess your struggle for the presidency of Yanukovych, is there an awareness of the vainness of those efforts?

You know, it wasn’t Yanukovych’s matter, then - yes, we thought that this person would help us free ourselves, or at least weaken the Ukrainization stranglehold that strangled everything Russian in Crimea. Although time showed its true essence as a petty political cheater, who got into big politics to solve his selfish questions, irresponsibly and stupidly betting the fate of millions of people in this game, the essence of which he did not understand, but this struggle rallied Crimeans and formed a special Crimean mentality. It seems to me that it played a decisive role when it struck the hour of fate, and we all understood - now or never, we got up and defended our Crimean house from neo-fascists. Without this unity, which was forged in those years and supported by the organizations I mentioned, there would not have been a present victory.

- How did your criminal record affect your future biography?

After spending 2.5 months in a pre-trial detention center, lying directly on the floor in a cell with inveterate criminals, some of whom were sick with tuberculosis, they released me, confining myself to my serving sentence in these same 2.5 months.

But after all, whatever one may say, but by law - this is a criminal record! I could immediately forget about the service in the bodies, which I had dreamed about before and even studied in absentia at the law faculty. But this is not so bad - I was left without the prestigious work, housing that I had in Simferopol, and none of those who were going to make me an icon of resistance helped or even wondered about my fate. He left for Kerch, where no one knew me, began to collect his life from scratch. Now everything is as if normal, but the feeling that I was used for my purposes by political scoundrels does not pass. In addition, I am politically active, of patriotic views, I clearly understand what I want and what I need to strive for, but I have been ordered to the deputies of any level - the stigma of criminal record is always with me.

Sometimes a thought burns - for what? Indeed, for the same thing for which the current deputies hung themselves with awards and were awarded privileges. I personally know those deputies of the City Council who shouted in my face on February 23, 2014 in Kerch, when we ripped off the Ukrainian flag and put the Russian one in its place - “Bandera will restore order!” And these same people are now with tickets "United Russia" quietly sitting on the same deputy seats. And I, as a true patriot, cannot even dream of it ...

- Do you intend to seek the restoration of your good name?

In this regard, I have great hopes for the Duma bill on the rehabilitation of political repressed during the period of the Ukrainian occupation, which, although with a scratch, overcoming the machinations of the fifth column, will nevertheless be adopted and restore the rights of many real fighters for the Russian Crimea. It cannot be otherwise, not a single sane person thinks otherwise. I see no other way to restore historical justice. Because the representatives of the current Crimean authorities are too cowardly to lend a hand to these people and at least verbally publicly acknowledge their merits in supporting the spirit of the coming reunion with the Motherland in Crimeans, risking everything that they have.

On March 17, 2016, a group of State Duma deputies from all fractions submitted a bill to the lower house of parliament proposing to extend the law of the Russian Federation “On the rehabilitation of victims of political repression to residents of the Crimea and Sevastopol who were persecuted by the authorities of independent Ukraine from August 24, 1991 to March 18 2014 year. On March 29, 2016, the Crimean lawyer Ivan Bakay unveiled a list of citizens who were subjected to reprisals in Crimea during the time of Ukraine. Among these were well-known Russian politicians. The author of the list believes that all the defendants in the list should be rehabilitated by the decision of the State Duma

Victor Sazhin: “Myrrh is streaming something there”

Krymchanin Viktor Sazhin was convicted in 2005, as a felon, of confronting the “Maydanovites”. The prosecutor at the trial was the current State Duma deputy, the "pretty face of Crimea" Natalia Poklonskaya.

Victor told us what he thinks of Ms. Poklonskaya, the true and fake participants of the "Crimean spring" and why he is offended by the power.

Three years ago, spring was here too.

Early Crimean spring, which became history. On March 16, at a general referendum, the peninsula almost unanimously voted for reunification with Russia.

I also remember those March days in the Crimea, goosebumps ran down my skin when a human mass chanted in a single impulse in the main square of Simferopol: “Crimea is Russia!”

You can talk about anything at that time, and the further you go, the more probably there will be heroes and truths, as well as illusions lost forever.

34-year-old Viktor Sazhin lives in Kerch.

In February 2014, it was Victor Sazhin who hung the first Russian flag on the building of the city administration of Kerch.

However, Victor became famous not only for this. And the unexpectedly discovered connection with Natalia Poklonskaya, now a deputy of the State Duma, in the recent past was the head of the peninsula’s prosecutor’s office, who was not afraid, as they say, to take this post in those days when severe men fled in different directions.

The paths of Victor and Natalia crossed for the first time nine years before, in the courtroom ...

Is that the same Natalya?

Their paths crossed in December 2005 in the hall of the city court of the city of Armyansk of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Young, 23-year-old Viktor Sazhin was a pro-Russian activist, tried for this by the Ukrainian authorities. And the young (only two years older) Natalya Poklonskaya - the state prosecutor in his criminal case. From Ukraine.

You know, when our local journalists unearthed all this, I was very surprised. I don’t remember her at all. That is, I remember that I had three prosecutors at the trial, by the way, all the women, and one, the most recent, a girl, red, thin, in a turtleneck. A modest one, she read out the accusation in a boring, monotonous voice, says Viktor Sazhin. “The only thing that struck my memory was how she, all in jewels, came to the courtroom, on each finger a golden ring, or even two, a two-finger thick golden chain, even she didn’t wear one like that.” But I don’t remember her face at all, and her surname, to be honest, too.

- And how did you know that this is Natalya?

Yes, I did not recognize. For me, all this is a thing of the past. I even lost my sentence somewhere. For all the years that have passed since the trial, I never needed him.

Then one of my subscribers sent me an electronic copy to the social network. Well, threw it and threw it off.

Then Crimean journalists unexpectedly turned to me to tell me about those events, and finally they suddenly ask: “What about Poklonskaya?” "What is Poklonskaya?" “Well then, your public prosecutor, the Ukrainian prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya, who has been demanding seven and a half years for you! Because you are for Russia and against Ukraine. ”

And I have nothing to answer ... Although yes, the document really does: state prosecutor Poklonskaya N.V. But I honestly don’t remember her.

“They removed the laces, the belt and sent to the IVS”

Piles of Crimean newspapers of that time. Publications on the whole strip. “For that guy,” “Stop the witch hunt,” “Yushchenko isn’t heard in the field.” And this is all about him - Viktor Sazhin. In his youth, he was professionally involved in sports. In the army he served in special forces. He guarded President Kuchma, but not in PM, but in the outer guard ring. “I saw power near and in its most“ unpleasant ”manifestations, so I don’t have any illusions about this,” Viktor says now. He says that he was always a Russian patriot, and where to go when the mother and father are Russians, and all relatives live on the other side of the sea, in the Kuban.

In 2004, if you remember, the first Maidan, the “Orange Revolution” took place in Kiev, when Viktor Yanukovych won the election, and then he was replaced by Viktor Yushchenko.

We in Crimea all supported Yanukovych, because this is Crimea. I now think that there was the first bell when he gave up, retreated, showed his weak character and gave the presidency to another, but at that moment we were as one for him, ”says Victor. - We received information that the Druzhba road train was moving from Kiev to the peninsula, participants of the Maidan were driving there, all stoned to teach us how to live. They quite successfully rowed for this lyuley in Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk and went for the very same here.

- They say that three hundred of your Kerch guys blocked the way to the Maydanites.

What three hundred! There were several thousand of us, no less. We went to the Kherson-Simferopol highway and completely blocked it. As a result, when they did arrive, in a convoy of cars, buses, limousines, with their orange symbols, with American flags, we "met them with bread and salt." This is a narrow two-lane road, a ditch on one side and on the other hand, they had nowhere to go. The three most important in orange scarves came out to talk with us, but the dialogue did not work. They threw us oranges that they brought with them. And we just beat them.

- And who handed to someone?

We. I don’t refuse. Cars flew into the ditch - and away we go ... In short, they did not let them into the Crimea on this road.

“Why was the criminal case brought only against you?” And why is it so late - a year later?

I guess I was chosen as a scapegoat. A year passed, Yushchenko nevertheless became president, I moved to live in Simferopol, worked in a mobile phone salon, walked up the career ladder, met a girl — not just to change my political views, but to calm down.

And suddenly the investigator, the major, comes and says that they have been looking for me for more than two months now and that, it turns out, I'm on the run. Indicted. Seven volumes of the criminal case. There are photographs where I am in all poses: with the Russian flag, I beat the face of the Maydanovites — in short, a full evidence base, the organization of mass riots and malicious hooliganism — for up to fifteen years.

“But you were not immediately taken into custody ...”

Yes, I myself came to the court of the city of Armyansk. It is three hundred kilometers from Kerch. The first judge was a young guy, I knew him a little, crossed paths a couple of times in the gym, on this basis he immediately recused himself, stated that we were not just familiar with him, but even we were on friendly terms — apparently, he didn’t want to get into all this .

I was taken into custody. They removed the laces, the belt and sent to the IVS. The temporary detention center, like the police, in Armyansk was in a former hostel on the ground floor, nine people in a closet, and only two boxes. In one - tuberculosis, in the other - homeless people. So there wasn’t much to choose from. Although the cellmates turned out to be normal guys, they only asked me to sit away from them and not eat from one dish ...

A week later, the whole Crimea knew about Viktor Sazhin.

“They would say - to plant, to plant”

- A week later the whole Crimea knew about you?

Journalists raised kipesh, friends, associates. Reporters intercepted a note to my grandmother, where I write that it’s damp and dark in our cell, and they ringed that I have suicidal thoughts. The only thing I was offered to move to a pre-trial detention center, there you could at least wash yourself and watch TV. And the prisoners kept an eye on me so that God forbid that he hanged himself. You can’t prove it to anyone ...

- The newspapers wrote that you were unhappy with your lawyer ...

I think this was a unique case when a lawyer drowned his client more than even a prosecutor. I was told that it would be better for me. If I sit in full, they say, I’ll come out as a hero, an icon of the revolution and the struggle against the Yushchenko regime. “Vitya, we will make a deputy out of you,” Sergei Pavlovich Tsekov promised me then.

- This is now the senator from the Crimea?

He is. But I replied that before becoming a deputy, I would become a prisoner and that I do not want the fate of a hero, but I want to go home.

“But what about fame?”

Lenin, the link and all that, I know, read ... You know, it’s very good to publicize at the expense of others, and then in bulk. All the same people who promised to make me an idol, when after my release they really needed their help, they immediately forgot about their words. And I was with a criminal record, without work, without money.

- So you don’t think that the prosecutor Poklonskaya is to blame for your sentence?

Not. She was just doing her job. I remember that just the kindest of the three prosecutors was that redhead and was ... What complaints can I have about her? She is not my friend, not comrade, not sister. They would say - to plant, to plant.

But, I want to note, apparently, in Kiev they realized that it’s not worthwhile to sculpt a martyr out of me, as a result, instead of more than seven years, I got only 2.5 months already spent. So the prosecutor did not drown me. I was released immediately after the sentencing. Not as a hero, but as an ordinary criminal.

- They write that this sentence broke your life.

To straight broke, I do not think. On the contrary, the whole Crimea recognized me, rallies were in my defense, newspapers wrote. But I really could not get a job for a long time, I had to forget about a career in the bodies, about entering a legal.

Under Yanukovych, he tried to become a deputy, but nothing came of it either, the Party of Regions divided everything among themselves. In 2010, he headed the Russian Unity organization in Kerch, married, and a child was born.

“If you want to do something, then organize a concert with girls in kokoshniks”

And then came the “Russian spring”.

This is a video from Kerch taken on YouTube. The bewildered mayor of the city, Oleg Osadchy, is trying his best to maintain the previous order: “The Russian flag should be hung up early, it will still fall into place, let's calmly disperse. What do you want? There is water at home, there is light, no one oppresses anyone. ”

And the waves of the people, not hearing anything, tearing to pieces the already lowered Ukrainian banner. "Russia, Russia, Russia!"

Yes, on February 23, 2014, we were the first in the Crimea to remove the Ukrainian flag from the flagpole in front of the Kerch City Council and hoist the Russian flag in its place, ”continues Viktor Sazhin. - I remember that the Sochi Olympics were on TV, and we understood that if help from Russia did not come, then we all would be out of luck. They were going to send families to relatives, wives, children, and themselves to sit in Kerch quarries with weapons and not give up.

- Do you think that the second Donbass could begin in Crimea?

I think that in any other scenario, the fate of Donbass was waiting for us. To us from the Ukrainian Mariupol, only two hours by sea. And we have the whole city - supporters of Russia. Even the Kerch Crimean Tatars are also all ours, Russians.

There were rumors that there were buses from Kiev again, only the “charged” ones were no longer oranges. We kept about 700 people in reserve, went on patrols, kept order in the city as best we could, about 4 thousand were only sympathizers, women, old people, teenagers. It now seems as if it could not be otherwise, and then we looked for any opportunity to announce: Russia, we are here, you and I, do not leave us, please. We sincerely dreamed that Moscow dug up the isthmus and took us to Russia. At least Kerch. We are all the same on the border.

Sentence.

I called Sergey Aksyonov for advice, but he was very busy, his assistant Evgeny Dobrynya picked up the phone, I said that we were collecting self-defense units. She answered me that Sergei Valerievich might not like this. Sergey Tsekov called another friend of ours and also asked us not to rush the situation with self-defense: they say, if you want to do something, then organize a concert with the girls in kokoshniks, we will send you kokoshniks - it was like that.

“Is that a joke?”

No, in Sevastopol a similar festival started then. There girls with kokoshniks danced. Nobody knew what to do, because it was not clear what would happen tomorrow. And Kokoshniks, although for Russia, is quite harmless.

Simferopol and I then disconnected because we did not have to wait for help from them. And on February 23, after we hung out the Russian flag, some people from the mainland unexpectedly arrived in Kerch. They worked quickly and without a single shot.

So Kerch became Russian. The Cossacks also came in, and we resettled them in sanatoriums, the next morning they gathered and went to Chongar and Armyansk, bordering Ukraine, to patrol there.

Our Kerch businessmen helped with food, accommodation. Organized several "KamAZ" with canned goods and pasta. The self-defense of the city of Kerch was at a military post until the March referendum. 98 percent favored joining, people in crowds went to vote for Russia, people with disabilities, the elderly - that's all.

- Remember the first day after joining?

Vaguely. There was complete euphoria. Ahead is only a bright future, we won, hooray ... And then we already learned that we had nothing to do with it.

“Even women have evening dresses hanging from medals, bitterly and ashamed”

Victor and I are sitting in a cafe. At a nearby table, apparently, someone's birth is loudly celebrated. The "Louboutins" are replaced by the ancient Verka Serdyuchka. “Ukraine hasn’t died yet,” the birthday girl votes with the singer.

“And what, she sings well, I like it,” Victor listens. We continue the conversation.

Well, then the heroes of the Kerch self-defense learned that they had nothing to do with it. And the main thing is not a YouTube video with a three-colored flag raised, it is not proof at all. Proof - proximity to the top.

As it turned out, in Simferopol already compiled lists of other Kerch "militias", more real ... Who are these people? Where did they come from? I dont know.

But it is they who are sitting in all the presidiums, concerts and receptions are held for them in honor of the “Crimean spring”, where they are allowed only by invitation, they even have women hang medals from evening dresses, and look at such a bitter and shameful thing.

Don’t think, I didn’t give up, I wrote to the president’s website seven times to figure out who and what was doing here in the spring of 2014, I’m not a naive boy, I understand that Putin is unlikely to read it, but maybe , at least someone will try to figure out what kind of mummers have clung to our victory ...

They have their own regiment, headquarters, even a union of veterans already. Professional “Crimean militias” - that’s what it is called. But now they are on horseback, and if something happens again, the trail will go cold.

“Do you have any medals, or what?”

And I have. “For the Defense of Crimea” and the badge, which I am especially proud of, “For Service and Fidelity”. Recently, they offered to buy one award, for only 2000 rubles. Very honorable. But I refused. This is dishonest and mean.

Three years ago, I interviewed the head of the republic, Sergei Aksenov, and asked him a question: how is it that all the people in your team are from the same, former Ukraine, only instead of the Party of Regions they became members of United Russia.

And he answered me: people have the right to sincerely be mistaken, and then sincerely change their views. The same Natalia Poklonskaya was mistaken, being the Ukrainian state prosecutor, but now she is a State Duma deputy, a sincere admirer of Nicholas II.

Yes, not ... a normal girl ... Myrrh is streaming something there. To her, I have no complaints. But those who turned our "Crimean spring" inexplicably into what and for their own good, there is no forgiveness. The state flags are different, but the people in the chairs are the same. In our last parliamentary elections, only five percent of all citizens came to vote, because the people of Kerch see all this and feel that little has changed in this sense.

- Probably, this is the misfortune of all revolutions that romantics make them, and others use the fruits.

But this is wrong! It should not be like that! I remember how those people from Moscow who came here to help, leaving, dropped a strange phrase: wait, they will soon reward the uninvolved and punish the innocent - that is how it ended up. It’s also not clear to me whether the criminal record has been lifted or whether I am acquitted. Thank God that everything else ended without bloodshed. I am sure that under Ukraine Crimea would not remain in any case. Russia is ours, and this is the main thing. But for the state it is insulting anyway.

P.S. Crimean journalists contacted Natalya Poklonskaya and asked for comment on this story, she replied that for so many years of work she had so many cases and defendants that she was simply not able to remember everyone.
