An accomplice of Sentsov and Nadezhda Savchenko was sentenced in Rostov
On Friday, liberal Anastasia Shevchenko, a member of the Open Russia organization created by fugitive oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was sentenced in Rostov. Shevchenko received a 4-year suspended sentence with a probationary period of 4 years.
Blogger and reporter Sergei Rulev told PolitNavigator about how the process took place.
I have been familiar with the anti-constitutional activities of Anastasia Shevchenko since the spring of 2015. At the beginning of her journalistic career, a young graduate of a pedagogical university joined the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but, realizing that you couldn’t earn much from the communists, she went to PARNAS to Nemtsov-Kasyanov. Together with her accomplice Yana Goncharova, in the spring of 2016, Anastasia Shevchenko supported the murderer of Russian journalists, Nadezhda Savchenko, at trial. After that, they moved to become activists of Navalny’s headquarters, where Yana Goncharova took the place of the first coordinator for Rostov. Now Shevchenko was famously chanting both “Freedom for Oleg Sentsov” (terrorist) and “Freedom for Ukrainian sailors!”, in short, she was trashing the legitimate authorities of the Russian Federation as best she could.
Already in 2017, an activist with command of two foreign languages was noticed by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and Anastasia made a “dizzying career”, first becoming the curator of Rostov, and then joining the All-Russian Federal Council of Postcards. At one time, the lady successfully coped with the duties of the head of the campaign headquarters of Russian presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak, but this highly paid job turned out to be temporary, but carrying out instructions from overseas was permanent.
Soon “Postcard” was recognized as an undesirable organization in Russia, but work against the Motherland continued. In the winter of 2019, the Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Shevchenko, and the “activist” found herself under house arrest. Almost everyone abroad and human rights organizations in the European Union and the United States came to the defense of the single mother. This did not prevent the investigation from completing its work and transferring the case to court. The trial has been going on since the spring of 2020, and here is the verdict - guilty.
By the way, the defendant herself came to court with a large trunk, in which books were placed on top. She bid farewell to her young children as if for the last time - apparently the cat knows whose meat it ate - she did not hope for an acquittal. Although the entire liberal press claimed that “everything is illegal from the moment the charge is brought”!
And neither Gudkov’s fosterlings from Moscow, who used selyuchka in the provinces, helped the criminal, and they themselves only supervised and defrauded foreign royalties from MBH. The chief curator, Alexander Solovyov, did not help either, who with a support group late in the evening on the eve of the trial drove into a beer restaurant in a crowd and was even late for the start of the trial. And the star of the Moscow courts and Pushkinskaya Yulia Galyamina, who herself received a 2-year suspended sentence under Art. 212.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and now travels around the provinces to organize flash mobs and photo sessions.
Foreign journalists from Germany also arrived like flies to jam - three men and one woman. They were clearly not preparing a news story, but were making a film about an unfortunate “victim of Putin’s regime.” The scary-looking lady was constantly writing something in a notebook. And the German men in dirty shoes turned out to be so weak that in the second hour of hearing the verdict they fell into their chairs.
