Deputy Chairman of the Russian party of People’s freedom, Ilya Yashin August 30 released a report on the members of the party “United Russia”, which the media or the police accused . having links with crime
The politician presented a 64-page expert report “Party” Criminal Russia “in the office of the Fund’s fight against corruption
The text is divided into five chapters.” Organized crime ” “Corrupt”, “Takers,” “Cheaters” and “Killers.”
The report is based on data from public sources, it describes the criminal cases against the governors and other senior members of the “United Russia”: actually the head of the Republic of Komi Vyacheslav Gayzer, who during the search was found 1 million dollars, actually Tsapkov gang, five members who represented the party in power in Kushchevskaya municipality and one of the leaders Sergei Tsapok even was at the inauguration of President Dmitry Medvedev in 2008.
Yashin recalls the cases against former ministers -. Defence Anatoly Serdyukov and Agriculture economy Elena Skrynnik. On the last page jokingly quoted the chairman of the “United Russia”, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev: “It’s a pity the people who have become hostages of mediocre politicians, which they did not choose”
In the “United Russia” has not officially. commented on the publication. According to the internal rules of the party in power, in the case of criminal proceedings against any of the “United Russia”, his party membership is automatically suspended. In addition, internal party primaries in 2016 could not participate participated previously convicted citizens.
Ilya Yashin told the BBC the BBC on the work on the report.
BBC -Cu: Is there a report of the facts and documents which have not previously been published in the open-source
Ilya Yashin:? If you do not go into the details: you are fan, and a report will see that there are many references, documents, receipts, agreements – some of them previously published, some not – but their value is that all verified documents. For this I am ready to respond, if necessary, each ready to submit to the court, everyone is more or less a confirmation of criminal cases, which are associated with the “United Russia”. Some of the documents we received from open sources and checked. Some – from sources related to persons involved in criminal cases. Some directly from the materials of criminal cases, which have access to former and current investigators
Bi-bi-si:. Why are these sources agreed to help you ?
I.YA .: We worked non-public. We have sources connected with persons involved in criminal cases in which the soured relationship with them. Were the investigators, with a part we have cooperated earlier part – new, including, not from Moscow. The main value of these sources is that they have access to the materials of the criminal cases. For example, the Internet has been thrown out the examination confirming that the payment receipts, which are in the case of fraud “Rosagroleasing”, is signed Skrynnik [ Elena Skrynnik , the general director of joint-stock company with state participation "Rosagroleasing" in year 2001-2009 s , Minister of agriculture in the year 2009-2012 s , a member of the supreme council of "United Russia" in the year 2008-2012 s ]. During the interrogation, she claimed that her signature on the bills of her that is facsimiles. I was afraid to publish this assessment: there was no evidence that it is real. Thanks to our sources, I received photos of the originals and was convinced that the real: the signature on the documents, according to investigators, belongs Skrynnik
bi-bi-si: your sources may be biased with respect to the heroes of the report
?
I.YA:. biased or not, I do not ask their opinion. I am interested in the facts of the case. these sources are valuable to me, because they have access to the materials with their help I can verify the authenticity of documents. There were some documents that I did not publish because it was unable to verify their authenticity. That is the value of the sources. And how they treat me, to the people I write about, by and large, it does not matter
Bi-bi-si:. your report Heroes are primarily government – legislative, executive, municipal. Does it matter their party affiliation? Outside of the “United Russia” too is a crime.
I.YA .: In the first place, I see a certain system. The various parties have criminals, but “United Russia” has created conditions that allow the integration of power is not some individual representatives of criminality and, in fact, opens the door to whole groups. Weight examples of groups that exist since the 1990s, with the help of the “United Russia” have evolved and have become “legal” structure with representation in the government. Secondly, I want to “United Russia” has suffered a last political responsibility: the candidates, which it puts at certain positions, promotes them as effective managers, some even taking in the Kremlin, Putin proposes to vote for them … Once it turns over and over again it is the leaders of criminal networks. I would like to September 18 “United Russia” answered for all criminals, which she brought to power under their party banners
Bi-bi-si:. The case of the former Yaroslavl mayor Eugene Urlashova or the former governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh differ from those mentioned in your report?
I.YA .: Urlashov was opposition, he was persecuted for political reasons. Urlashova tried Putin in the Kremlin. Urlashov won the election in the competition with a candidate from the ruling party. The main thing that distinguishes his work: it is sewn with white thread. In fact Urlashova there is no actual evidence against him of taking bribes. All persons involved in cases of bribery, of which I am writing, were caught red-handed at the time of the transfer of money, I was labeled the bill, there was a man in advance cooperate with the investigation … In fact Urlashova like nothing: the time of the alleged transfer of money was recorded on a video camera, but Urlashov this point, for some reason, was not arrested. No actual evidence of his guilt is not -. Only the testimony of his opponents from the “United Russia”
About the White difficult for me to comment, I do not know much the materials of the criminal case. He himself is under a subscription about nondisclosure. I only know of Nikita, and I do not believe that he took a bribe. For Nikita Governorate – rather, it is the realization of the political ambitions than a business project. Nikita went to work for not very gratifying position in the Kirov region, because he hoped that it would be a springboard for his future political growth. To believe that against the background of all these arrests governors Nikita could be so framed, difficult. Although I will closely monitor this case. And going to go to court, listen to the prosecution and the defense. I it is important to understand in this case
Bi-bi-si:. From your report it may be concluded that the gears of law enforcement move: the former head of Komi Vyacheslav Gaiser arrested former governor of the Sakhalin region Alexander Khoroshavin arrested, the former governor of the Bryansk region Nikolai Deneen serving time in prison …
I.YA .: can really get the impression that Russia effective law enforcement system. It is an illusion. If you read the report carefully, you will see that criminal cases are excited when the position of a perpetrator starts to claim more toothy predator, also from the “United Russia”. When intraspecific competition begins when the division of seats begins at the trough, only the gears start spinning. The law enforcement system should not work: it must systematically and universally suppress crime, not only when it comes into conflict with another group.
It is enough examples where, despite the presence of all the evidence, a high-ranking representatives of the “United Russia” managed to avoid responsibility because there were higher patrons who protect them.
We are ready to provide the source of the report of any political party, but “United Russia”, any candidates . This is the weapon with which we are willing to equip all.
For example, a State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov. I’m talking about him in the previous report about Ramzan Kadryrova wrote a lot. This is a man who is suspected of organizing the contract killing [Delimkhanov, a former deputy head of the Chechen government, was the prime suspect in the murder of Sulim Yamadayev in Dubai, in conflict with the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov; In 2009, the UAE government withdrew all charges against him], associated militants appear in the murder of Boris Nemtsov. He is sitting in the State Duma, and will sit after September 18 because he is a man of the inner circle of President of Chechnya.
Bi-bi-si: How to report was in the network ahead of time
I.YA .: It was stolen. We made sure that the version of the report, which appeared online ahead of time, the same as the one we were sent to the printer. We know that there were visits to the printing press (fortunately, after that, we took into circulation) by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to combat extremism management may pressure was exerted on some of the staff, they took the layout. Attempts have been made at the stage of preparation of the report to hack email volunteers who helped me in my work on the report. You can not be completely sure of anything when dealing with the secret services. And there are no illusions: we are dealing with the secret services. Any information that is contained in our phone, computer – at any moment can be published. I did understand it, understand it my supporters
Bi-bi-si: Let’s interview reads insider who wants to share with you information, – as he is. after all it can be assured that it will not help the subject of publicity?
I.YA .: We exchange information only in person, no emails, no phones – to meet and talk. This is the only way to get away
Bi-bi-si:. What is the circulation in the report and how you plan to distribute
