Since the morning of June 27, increased security measures have been taken at the Babushkinsky Court in Moscow. Police patrols were posted along the perimeter of the building, and the judge's hall was guarded not only by ordinary bailiffs, but also by FSSP special forces.

Several dozen young people, whose tattoos and general form indicated that they adhere to right-wing radical views. Tesak’s father, Sergei Martsinkevich, also came to court. The main person involved in the case himself tried to look relaxed and not show his excitement. “This is a new phenomenon in the history of Russian legal proceedings. A gopnik writer is being tried,” he joked on the eve of the announcement of the verdict (Martsinkevich had previously written two books about his life, one of which, “Restrukt,” was banned by the court).

Some time after serving his next sentence in 2010, Martsinkevich decided to create a social movement to combat pedophiles. His comrades caught these people “with live bait”, corresponding with them in in social networks under the guise of a minor.

At the meeting, the participant in the correspondence was waited by strong young guys who mocked these people and doused them with urine.

Participants in the movement filmed their actions. Sometimes the “restructuring” members managed to reach people holding important positions in the government in this way. government agencies. So, in 2013 they caught red-handed the deputy head of Federal service bailiffs of the Moscow region, who came on a date with a 14-year-old teenager. A criminal case was later opened against this official.

Over time, members of Restrukt switched to fighting smoking mixture dealers and drug dealers. Members of the organization also made money by selling dietary supplements and clothing with their attributes depicted.

In December 2013, a criminal case was opened against Tesak for inciting hatred or enmity. The reason was three videos on YouTube, where Tesak made a video review of the film “Stalingrad” and spoke negatively towards pedophiles. Martsinkevich was detained in Cuba, where he had managed to leave by that time, and was handed over to Russian law enforcement officers. For this crime, the Kuntsevsky Court of Moscow sentenced the nationalist to five years in prison, but then the court of second instance reduced the sentence to two and a half years in prison.

Tesak received his first sentence in 2007, when, together with his associates, he visited the Moscow club “Bilingua”, where political debates took place between journalists and. There

Martsinkevich chanted Nazi slogans, after which the organizer of the debate wrote a statement to.

Martsinkevich was sentenced to three years in prison for inciting ethnic hatred. In 2009, without having yet served this sentence, he was sentenced under the same Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for calls for extremism against citizens of Tajikistan involved in drug trafficking. The video shot by Tesak simulated the execution of a Central Asian.

Drug dealers, dietary supplements and Ukraine

Meanwhile, other members of Restrukt continued their activities, focusing on the fight against drug traffickers. In the summer of 2014, “restructuring” officers detained 38-year-old Azerbaijani citizen Zair Alyshev, who was selling smoking mixtures, on Snezhnaya Street in Moscow. First, activists took him to the police, from where he was soon released. At the exit from the Department of Internal Affairs he was again met by members of Restrukt. A fight broke out between him and the young people, after which Alyshev was taken to the hospital, where he died.

In the summer of the same year, Restrukt participants, some of whom supported the Maidan in Ukraine, tried to hold a founding conference in one of the hotels in the capital’s Izmailovo district. There they invited their comrades from Ukraine and Russia. It was there that riot police detained them. After this, a large-scale criminal prosecution everyone who is in one way or another connected with this organization. Soon the Restrukt association itself was banned by the court. A 28-year-old student accused of murdering Alyshev was sentenced to six years in prison. Another member of Restrukt received the same amount, who made a deal with the investigation and testified against other participants in the movement. Some of the participants in the movement, for example Alexander Letunov, found refuge in Ukraine.

A new criminal case was opened against Tesak. However, he had not yet managed to be released from the colony after he was found guilty of extremism.

This time he was charged with robbery and again with Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Inciting hatred” and participation in a robbery associated with hooliganism. “The real reason for the criminal case against me is that in 2014 Restrukt went national and even international level. Cells of this organization appeared in almost all major cities of Russia, as well as in Ukraine and Belarus,” Martsinkevich said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru. According to Tesak, when he was waiting for a verdict in a new case, he actively read books, in particular, he read the works of Francois Rabelais, as well as many books on psychology and the socio-political structure of society. He also crossed paths with other famous prisoners: a nationalist (Potkin), Orkhan Zeynalov, whose crime led to riots in Biryulyovo, and an oligarch.

Firing prosecutor

The prosecutor at the trial in the Restrukt case was. Previously, he supported the prosecution in the trial of the ex-head of the property relations department, but he was soon removed from this case. According to Gazeta.Ru sources familiar with the situation, this happened because he did not know the process materials well. During the Restrukt trial, he repeatedly stated that participants in the movement should have been shot. During the debate between the parties, he asked to sentence Tesak to 11.6 years in prison. He asked the rest to be given 9 to 7 years in prison.

The court eventually found Martsinkevich guilty, among other things, of robbery, hooliganism and intentional destruction of property and sentenced him to ten years in prison strict regime.

“When I created Occupy Pedophilia (one of the Restrukt projects aimed against pedophiles), it was an extremely risky undertaking. I had to tightly control not only my emotions, but also the film crew. But I also understood that the benefits to society from this far outweighed all the risks. And, as practice has shown, I was not mistaken: the number of uncles writing to boys on social networks has decreased tenfold. And the boys have learned to organize themselves so much that now, even without any “Pedophile,” the guy has every chance in any city to meet not just one boy, but a whole gang. And with all the desire of law enforcement officers, they could not bring charges against me for any of the 115 pedophiles I personally caught,” Tesak told Gazeta.Ru.

“As for Occupy Narcophilia, this is not my project. It was created as part of the development of civil initiatives “Restrukt,” said Martsinkevich. — The fact is that back then a whole bunch of “spice” dealers were catching public organizations, and I didn’t want to jostle on someone else’s field. But the guys got busy. And soon law enforcement officers took over all the fights against “synthetics” dealers, and everyone except “Narcophiliac” “merged.” Unlike “Pedophile,” there was, of course, less legality here, although the stakes were higher - after all, “spice” does not corrupt, but kills children.”

According to Tesak, he lost control of all movements three years ago when he was arrested:

“You can’t really control anything from the pre-trial detention center. Recruitment for the “Narcophile” campaign was carried out simply through advertisements on the Internet; this did not contribute to the growth of the quality of the participants in the campaign.

As a result, they began to go too far and one of the drug dealers was eventually killed. This immediately gave rise to a bunch of criminal cases and destroy the entire movement.”

Maxim Martsinkevich, nicknamed Tesak, received an impressive sentence for attacking a spice dealer. The defense believes that the verdict was based on assumptions, and the convict’s alibi was actually ignored

On December 29, the Babushkinsky Court of Moscow sentenced Maxim Martsinkevich, known as Tesak, to ten years in prison. The leader of the nationalist movement “Restrukt” (the book of the same name is banned) was found guilty of assault on a spice dealer and hooliganism.

Five of his supporters were sentenced to terms ranging from two years and 11 months to 9.5 years in prison. The defense considers the nationalist's case to be fabricated and intends to appeal the verdict.

This was a repeat trial of Tesak: on July 27, 2017, the Babushkinsky court sentenced Martsinkevich to a similar term, and nine of his followers received sentences ranging from three years and four months to ten years. However, the verdict did not “stand” on appeal: in May 2018, the Moscow City Court overturned it and.

For the second time, in addition to Maxim Martsinkevich, five members of the informal association “Occupy-Narcophilia”, which he created, were put on trial: Evdokim Knyazev, Alexander Shankin, Elizaveta Simonova, Mikhail Shalankevich and Dmitry Sheldyashov. According to investigators, in 2013-2014 they carried out several attacks on sellers of prohibited smoking mixtures, the so-called spice, by pretending to purchase the potion from them. During one of these attacks in June 2014, Azerbaijani citizen Zaur Alyshev was killed. In this regard, Dmitry Sheldyashov was charged with Part 4 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm resulting in death through negligence).

Martsinkevich himself was charged with one episode. According to the prosecution, on August 17, 2013, he, together with Shankin and Knyazev, attacked spice dealer Khamidullo Mukhtarov in the area of ​​the Belorussky railway station. Anti-drug fighters beat him, forced him to eat a smoking mixture, doused him with paint and handed him over to the police. The investigation qualified these actions under the articles “hooliganism” and “robbery” (part 2 of article 162 of the Criminal Code and part 2 of article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Tesak's alibi

Martsinkevich denied his guilt. His defender Vladimir Krasnov, who was the answer to Ural Airlines. It followed from it that Tesak could not participate in the attack on the indicated day, since at that time he was vacationing with several friends on Lake Baikal: on August 11, 2013, Martsinkevich flew from Moscow to Ulan-Ude and returned only on August 19.

The lawyer argued that in order to charge Martsinkevich with robbery and hooliganism, it was necessary to prove that he had direct intent. He called the prosecutors’ arguments that Tesak acted based on selfish goals and hooligan motives “sweeping.” “Witnesses spoke in court who said that Martsinkevich earned decently, up to 10 thousand dollars a month, and it made no sense for him to attack some person in order to steal one and a half thousand rubles and an old phone from him,” Business commented FM prosecution defense attorney.

Krasnov added that no one denied the fact of Mukhtarov’s detention. However, Martsinkevich did not participate in it, and this obviously happened on a different day. In addition, the defense insisted that Mukhtarov was caught red-handed while committing a crime - the illegal sale of prohibited smoking mixtures. Causing harm to a person who has committed a crime during his arrest in accordance with Article 38 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is not a crime.

According to the defense lawyer, all of Mukhtarov’s actions indicated that he acted illegally. “He brought the “clients” not smoking mixtures for hookahs, as he said, but spices. “All this was filmed and happened like in a spy movie,” the lawyer said. According to him, the defense presented the court with real hookah tobacco, packaged in colorful boxes. It was 250 times cheaper than what Khamidullo Mukhtarov was selling.

Another detainee

When Occupy-Narcophilia members caught spice dealers with live bait, they took them to the police every time. The lawyer notes that on August 17, 2013, Knyazev and Shankin were indeed detained and helped deliver the drug dealer to the Begovoy police station. Only it was not Mukhtarov, but a certain Medzhidov, whose name was recorded in the police log.

Krasnov is convinced that the case against the nationalist was fabricated. “Law enforcement officers needed to imprison Martsinkevich and give him a serious hard time, because the extremist cases for which he was previously tried ended in short sentences,” the lawyer noted.

However, the court did not accept these arguments and considered the guilt of Martsinkevich and other defendants proven. The court sent Tesak to a maximum security colony for ten years; a minimum sentence of two years and 11 months in a general security colony was assigned to Elizaveta Simonova. Mikhail Shalankevich was sentenced to six years, Evdokim Knyazev to eight, and Alexander Shankin to nine years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. Dmitry Sheldyashov will have to serve nine years and six months in a maximum security colony.

Since Mikhail Shalankevich served his sentence during the investigation and trial (one day in the pre-trial detention center was counted as one and a half days), he was released after the verdict was announced. Also, according to the court verdict, Sheldyashov and Shankin will have to compensate moral damages to the father of the deceased Zaur Alyshev - 500 thousand and 100 thousand rubles, respectively.

The victim Mukhtarov also managed to obtain compensation from his offenders. Thus, the court ordered Martsinkevich and Knyazev to pay him a little more than 7 thousand rubles for the missing phone and damaged things and another 30 thousand for moral damage in solidarity.

Vladimir Krasnov stated that he considers the verdict illegal and intends to appeal it. In his opinion, the court showed corporate solidarity with the prosecution. “If an acquittal had been made, the prosecution would have suffered a serious reputational blow,” the defense lawyer said. According to him, the court unreasonably dismissed Martsinkevich’s alibi, basing its conclusions on assumptions.

Maxim Martsinkevich is known as an activist of ultra-radical right-wing organizations, the leader of the “skinhead” association “Format-18” (recognized as extremist and banned). He is also the creator of the “Occupy-pedophile” and “Occupy-drug-phile” movements, whose participants caught pedophiles and drug dealers (mainly sellers of the so-called smoking mixtures - spice) on social networks.

Before this case, Martsinkevich was convicted three times for extremism. In 2008, he was sentenced to three years in prison for disrupting a political debate involving Alexei Navalny at the Bilingua club by shouting Nazi slogans. In 2009, he received a criminal record for posting a video on the Internet of a mock execution of a “Tajik drug dealer.”

Based on the totality of the two sentences, Tesak received 3.5 years in prison. He was released in 2011, and when another case was opened against him, he fled to Cuba, from where he was deported in 2014. On August 15, 2014, the Kuntsevo court of the capital imprisoned him for posting two extremist videos on his VKontakte page. Later, the Moscow City Court sentenced him to two years and ten months in prison.

The case against the Restrukt participants was re-examined. In the summer of 2017, the court sentenced Martsinkevich to nine years in prison in this case, but in May 2018, the Moscow City Court overturned the sentence and sent the case for a new trial.
