“Moscow. Kremlin. Judges”

On November 29, the X All-Russian Congress of Judges began its work in Moscow. It has not been held for 6 years, but the alarming situation in the state required a collection.

Vladimir Putin, like a psychotherapist Kashpirovsky, exhorted the judicial class about the inviolability of the regime, trying to stop their mass resignations of their own free will in all regions of the country.

Rats are the first to escape from a sinking ship. The prospect of working in the new territories of the LPR, DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye, voiced by the president, frightens the officials who died there with gloomy prospects, and Russia is now restless.

The head of state promised to assign a qualification level higher than that provided for the position held, which entails an increase in the already astronomical salary. He talked about the significant humanization of justice with far-fetched figures: “The total number of convicts decreased by 22%.” Of course, after all, more than 90% of the mobilized prisoners have already died in Ukraine.

“The number of people sentenced to actual terms has dropped by 19%,” and prisons are more crowded than ever before.

It was completely cynical to praise Themis’s vanguard “for strengthening the business climate in the country” at the same time as the sentencing of the businessmen brothers Magomedov, who received 19 and 18 years of maximum security on the same day…

More than 10 years ago, I transcribed audio recordings of a prosecutorial gang near Moscow that were arrested as part of the “Gambling Case” at my request. Then I often heard a speech cliche with special emphasis “we will do it within the law,” which meant in their bird language “we will do it right.”

And now the three elders Lebedev, Zorkin and Putin taught the judges the aerobatics of guile: a hall of thousands, packed to capacity with werewolves in uniforms, nodded knowingly, having long ago learned the precepts of the NKVD. They even learned to fight with jurors by introducing former employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the ranks, the total cancellation of acquittal verdicts, the dissolution of the board…

For the Russian Themis today, honesty is the main crime…

This gathering in such a solemn hall of the Kremlin Palace – the abode of evil – reminded me of the scene of Woland’s ball in Bulgakov’s work “The Master and Margarita”. Black uniforms gave a special gloom to the pompous, shapeless ladies with the gloomy faces of the Furies. Their heavy makeup and string bags of expensive brands on their knees only added to the aura of the Sabbath with such tasteless accessories.

The ascetic “Mymra” from the film “Office Romance” against their background is an example of European style.

“Long live our most humane court in the world!” – Chairman of the Constitutional Court Zorkin parodied Vitsin, dancing on the bones of prisoners. Our country is first in the sad ranking of suicides from torture behind bars. Then he inadvertently admitted to telephone law: “There are 35 million cases in the country… and this is being done at the behest of customers, at the behest of the Kremlin, at the behest of governors? Yes, but, of course, not all.”

Of course, the entire law enforcement bloc is a fiend from hell, but judges have original sin. It is after the blow of the hammer – the verdict – that the lawlessness of the detectives and investigators is legitimized.

What is the difference between Prigozhin’s sledgehammer and the wooden hammer of werewolves in robes?

The judicial corps of the Kremlin population guards is the main support of the regime of Vladimir Putin. Obedience of the inhabitants of Russia today can be achieved only by one reflex – fear.

Fear paralyzes the will!
