Joking about Russian chauvinists could land a St. Petersburg man in compulsory psychiatric care

Meduza08:52, 20 august 2018

A man in St. Petersburg faces extremism charges over two reposts on Vkontakte from 2015, when he shared a joke about the impossibility of positive changes after elections and later reposted a cartoon about “vatniki” (militant supporters of Russia’s military actions abroad).

On August 20, prosecutors asked the court to order the man to undergo compulsory psychiatric treatment, citing testimony that his “extremist actions” were the result of mental illness. The suspect’s lawyer is trying to get that expertise thrown out.

In 2017, a court in Saratov convicted a local Internet user of extremism for posting negative comments about vatniki, sentencing him to 160 hours of community service.

In mid-March, Russian law enforcement arrested ten people in Moscow on charges of creating an extremist organisation — the previously unknown “New Greatness” organisation. According to OVD-Info, which monitors politically motivated arrests in Russia, FSB officers organised “New Greatness” from the inside — providing funds, stimulus, direction, a meeting space and even training several participants how to use Molotov cocktails — before declaring it to be an extremist organisation and detaining its members. Charges against seven of the suspects are based on the testimony of the remaining three people who are under house arrest. These men are believed to be security service agents who infiltrated the organisation. Indeed, one of them wrote the organisation's charter.

Moscow resident Anna Pavlikova was 17 when she was arrested as part of the investigation into “New Greatness”. Since her arrest at home on 15 March, Pavlikova's health has significantly deteriorated. Regardless, her detention has been extended on several occasions: apparently she is a particularly dangerous suspect.

Thus, a Moscow court refused to place Pavlikova under house arrest on 9 August. But after an unsanctioned public meeting was announced in support of her and another defendant, Maria Dubovik, on 15 August, Russia's Supreme Court ordered that Pavlikova's request for house arrest be heard in court, and investigators requested that Pavlikova should be transferred to house arrest. The court is expected to hear this request on 16 August.

Alexander Chernykh, a correspondent for Kommersant, interviewed Anna Pavlikova’s mother Yulia at the request of OVD-Info in May.

Yulia, your daughter Anna was 17 when she was arrested. Tell me how the police conducted her detention.

Someone started trying to break into our flat around half five in the morning. There was loud knocking and yelling. The whole family was jolted awake, we didn’t understand what was going on at all. Some man we didn’t know said that we had flooded his apartment downstairs. We didn’t know this neighbour, but we inspected our flat anyway — everything was dry, no leaks — but he screamed to open the door. Then we called the police: we said that some thieves were trying to break in, and asked for help. They checked something and then responded that it wasn’t bandits outside, it was the police and that we should let them in.

My husband Dima opened the door and was immediately hit in the forehead, pushed to the ground and held there with a boot. They were all shouting “On the ground!” and swearing loudly. Four people in balaclavas and machine guns invaded our flat. Then two more in ordinary uniform came in. They didn’t show any ID: just forced everyone to lie down facing the ground.

A-

In the meantime, we were sent to the kitchen and asked questions. They screamed at Anya [Anna], making her cry. “Tell us at once…”, “You’re probably a junkie, aren’t you?” and even “‘We’ll put you in jail for 20 years you’ll come out old and nobody will marry you.” It went on like this for a few hours. One of them even threatened to hit her.

You won’t believe how absurd the search was. My Anya is really into Harry Potter. So, she’s got all the books, posters on the walls, a scarf of the school. And she made badges from the book — with some magic symbols, with their coats of arms. It all turned out very beautifully. So, they pulled the badges out of her jewellery box brought it to us and yelled “What kind of swastika is this?”

Anyone who talks shit about our boys in Ukriane should die the most brutal death possible. A few months in a mental hospital is far less than they deserve. I’d kill the fucker slowly.
