Khimki city prosecutor's office on Feb. 11 approved an indictment against anti-fascists defenders Khimki Forest Gaskarova Alexey and Maxim Solopova. It was given to the accused on February 15. Alex and Max are accused of grave breaches of public order, which expresses a clear disrespect for society, it is the use of weapons and objects used as weapons, an organized group - ie, crime, part 2 of article. 213 of the Criminal Code ("Public Disorder"). Gaskarova Solopova and faces up to seven years imprisonment.

As expected, among the main prosecution witnesses - Maxim Temples, Alexei Pitel and Alexei Parshin. Minutes of their interrogations are suspect at the defense (protocols Khramov and Pitel all absolutely identical, only the names changed).

During the confrontation witnesses claimed that spot in Gaskarova and Solopova participants mayhem on hair color, body type and even the chin.

Lawyer Alexei Gaskarova Dmitry Deanza asked investigators to check these witnesses to "lie detector" (Alex such a test took place, and the polygraph showed that Gaskarov innocent), to interrogate their family members, ask billing for phone calls.However, no further investigative action against Khramova, Pitel and Parshin no longer held.

Defenseman Maxim Solopova Yuri Eronina considers the work the investigation more than satisfactory.

Proof of the corollary does not even deserve criticism. "

Solopov Maxim believes that a judge could send the case for further investigation. Alex Gaskarov not count on it, and thinks that the process will be another "example" of Russian justice.

Recall that a pogrom Khimkinskaya Authority held on 28 July 2010.About 250 anarchists and anti-fascists brought the ratio of Khimki and federal officials to the situation with Khimki cutting wood to direct action, assailed the administration building with stones and bottles.

Alexey and Maxim, public social activists, were arrested the next day. August 3 Khimki city court sanctioned their arrest. Two and a half months they spent in jail Mozhaiskom. In late October, the lawyers and the public campaign in support of "Khimki hostages managed to secure the release of anti-fascists on his own recognizance.
