Four of the five defendants deny that participated in this action.
On the first day in the courtroom laughed a lot on the testimony of the witnesses chosen consequence. Smiling even Judge Marina Orlova. This, however, does not mean that in the end it will announce a ridiculous and self accusation of “hooliganism motivated by political hatred”, in which young people could face up to seven years in prison.
Four beysdzhamperov (fans jumping parachute from skyscrapers and similar high places) were detained near the Stalinist skyscraper at Tinkers embankment at eight o’clock in the morning on August 20 last year, a few hours after Gregory Mustang (real name – Paul Ushivets) completed its action.
Alexander cellar, Alex Shirokozhuhov, Evgeny Korotkov and Anna Lepёshkina argue that jumped from high-rise quite independently of the Mustang and did not know about its action.
Mustang learned of the detention of parachutists and that those accused of painting the stars, he published photos and video verification that he did it alone. Later in an interview with BBC BBC, he said that now would have done the same thing, “but so that no one planted”.
The fifth defendant, Rufer Vladimir Podrezov, charged that directly Mustang assisted in climbing the spire. He does not deny it.
“pleaded guilty in part, I spent Ushivtsa on the roof, not knowing of his intentions [...] I believe that my actions are part of an administrative offense,” – said in Podrezov Monday in court.
Changeable charges
At first, four beysdzhamperov accused of it, they painted the top of the yellow star in the blue color and hoisted her Ukrainian flag . Then the prosecution reformulated: Now, according to the authorities, they deserted August morning jumped from high-rise buildings, to draw attention to the stock Mustang.
“Aware at the same time the presence of intense inter-governmental relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, associated with developing on Ukraine political crisis, with the aim to cause a negative public response to destabilize the social situation in the capital of the Russian Federation in Moscow on the eve of the national holiday – the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation, as well as to offend the feelings of citizens by the desecration of a high-rise building, located at the address: Moscow, Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, 1/15, is the subject of historical and cultural heritage, which embodies the grandeur of the Russian Federation “- are, according to the prosecutor read out on Monday to the indictment, the motive and the Mustang beysdzhamperov.
According to the text of the indictment, Paint the top of the yellow star in the blue color and hoisting her flag Ukraine “forming an opinion about the dominant position of Ukraine in political relations with the Russian Federation”.
The four parachutists to the standard question of the judge together one after another responded that the prosecution they do not understand, and guilt they do not recognize.
“I do not understand what kind of hatred in question, where there was a question that I” hate “[...] What kind of people I offended? What are the actions I have someone or something defiled? I do not understand. I pleaded not admit Podrezova and Ushivtsa to the courtroom had never seen and did not know hatred no I was not, in fact – there is evidence that I had previously jumped only for the “Russia”, – said Evgeny Korotkov.
Forced witness
The prosecution in this case is based largely on the testimony of Rufer Cyril Ishutina who sheltered Mustang last August podvёz it to the skyscraper on Tinkers and then drove in Airport.
Last year Ishutin got a little time, but not for this action, and for possession of “spice”. In court he was taken under escort and in handcuffs.
In August last year, during the first interrogations and confrontations, the question of whether he knew Pogrebova, Shirokozhuhova, Lepёshkinu, Korotkov, Ishutin short answers “no” – and everything.
However, his answers to the investigator about the adventures of the Mustang and Russian Rufer abundant details and the names of various people, not related to “the case of the star”.
It was only in November, has sat under investigation on charges of drug possession Ishutin testified that he allegedly knew about the intention of the Mustang attract four parachutists to the action on the hill . This testimony he reiterated on Monday in court.
“He said he jumped off, everything went the way he wanted [...] specifies that beysdzhamperov were four” – described in court Ishutin conversation that According to him, was he with the Mustang after the action, on the way to the airport.
Ishutin argues that participation paratroopers discussed and until August 20, and in the presence Podrezova, but he does not know, heard whether this conversation Podrezov – it was in the car.
Podrezov said that he knew nothing about parachutists and are not familiar with them.
“Why did you give us a free story to tell about how Ushivets gave you my impressions about the action and that colorful part of this action was a parachute jump, but these indications (last August – Bi-bi-si ) you just talk in detail about those days: who where he went, someone who bought some paint, also called a bunch of persons who are not defendants in the case – and say nothing about the rest of the brightest in terms Ushivtsa figures as our paratroopers? ” – Inquired the lawyer Eugene Korotkova Valery Lavrov.
Ishutin, more and more confused by as it were pressing lawyers insisted that he simply answered the questions of the investigator – and the investigator did not ask for clarification regarding beysdzhamperah.
“Congratulations, it’s not me”
“But he’s even asked you, do you know named four parachutists and surname!” – Objected Lavrov.
“I have already answered this question”, – tired Ishutin.
During the investigation Ishutin, as follows from his testimony, he remembered that he was nodding familiar one from beysdzhamperov. In court, he pointed to Pogrebova.
– How do you remember that familiar with it? – The lawyer said.
– I investigator said – ingenuously he confessed Ishutin and added that part to Pogrebova three or four years ago in the same project, shooting video.
– What? What is the project? – With a head asking Pogrebov.
– Show Yourself.
– And who else can confirm that we are involved in a project Show Yorself?
– I at the moment I can not say.
– I’ve never been involved in a project Show Yourself, – said Ishutina Pogrebov after several humiliating clarifying questions. – So you say it’s only because this has insisted the investigator so?
– No.
– And what nickname I had?
– There it was … “Wolf”?
– Maybe, “Raccoon”?
– “Raccoon”, yes.
– “Raccoon “? I congratulate you, I did not. All the questions I have no more, – concluded the cellar, shouting laughter of the audience.
Climbing parachutes
Before Ishutina court questioned three patrol officers, who were the first arrived at the skyscraper on Tinkers of “signal” of the Ukrainian flag and found as follows from their testimony on a completely deserted quay in no hurry beysdzhamperov.
The testimony of logged in the course of the investigation, the police reported that they found beysdzhamperov in backpacks have “climbing equipment”. In court it was found out that they do not distinguish parachute straps from equipment climbers.
At first beysdzhamperov accused it they painted the star – and in the testimony of police officers recorded by the investigators “hot pursuit”, were the words of Traces of paint on clothes Eugenia Korotkov. However, not blue, and somehow the green.
In court, police Denis Mysin suddenly said that he saw the paint from Korotkova under the nails.
– So, as in clothing from Korotkova you We saw traces of paint? – Lavrov surprised attorney.
– I do not remember.
– So you told the truth?
– I tell the truth. Now.
– So under the nails or on the clothes?
– on the clothes.
– So you still see paint under my fingernails? – Has entered the very Korotkov.
– Saw – completely embarrassed policeman Myskin seeing as spreads in the ironic smile of the face of the judge Orlova.
