The resignation of Olga Egorova from the post of chairperson of the Moscow City Court in 2020 led to tectonic changes in the Moscow judiciary, which led to conflicts, some of which even resulted in lawsuits, which the Cheka-OGPU spoke about more than once.
After Egorova’s resignation, the post of chairman (the second most important) of the Basmanny Court was left by her trusted judge Irina Vyrysheva. The acting chairman was the obstinate judge Elena Lenskaya. But from the console acting she couldn’t get rid of it.
Andrei Fedin was originally a teacher-coach in Greco-Roman wrestling, but after receiving an injury he went into law. Worked in the police. Then he became a judge, until 2013 he worked in the Zamoskvoretsky Court, and then moved to the Moscow City Court, where he headed the 3rd panel of judges for the consideration of appeals in criminal cases. He himself did not personally listen to the appeal, as follows from the Moscow City Court database. The public remembers Judge Fedin for his work in the Zamoskvoretsky court. There, in 2012, he heard in a special order the case of Maxim Luzyanin about the riots on Bolotnaya Square on May 6 (Alexey Navalny came to the verdict, the result of 4.5 years in prison), the case of sambo wrestler Rasul Mirzaev, from whose blow near a bar a 19-year-old Muscovite died ( result of 2 years of restriction of freedom).
On the website of the Judges of Russia there are only two reviews about Fedin’s work, both for 2020 and both negative. One, for example, who is homophobic, describes Fedin this way: “He wears a ring in his ear, speaks in a mannered manner, behaves like an informal person. Such a guy is a judge.”
