On June 19, Yuri Meshkov, accompanied by his associates, arrived at the Central District Court of Simferopol in order to attend an open court hearing to consider the complaint of the lawyer of the Sevastopol-Crimea-Russia Front, Ivan Bakai, about the prosecution of the judge of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Yakovlev, who deported the first Crimean president in July 2011.
Meshkov and his comrades wanted to go into the courtroom, but the bailiffs began to drive the support group and Meshkov himself out into the street, citing the lack of subpoenas for court visitors. And only after Bakai’s insistent demands was he invited to the office as an interested person. Meshkov was notified that the lawyer’s complaint would be considered by the court later - after calling the prosecutor and the head of the investigation department. However, upon leaving the building, this did not prevent the bailiffs from drawing up a report against Meshkov.
The arbitrariness of former Ukrainian judges in relation to Meshkov caused outrage among the national-patriotic elite of Russia. Thus, a prominent publicist and one of the leaders of the Rodina party, Viktor Aksyuchits, posted a statement on the party website in which he called for “protecting Crimea not only from external, but also from internal enemies.” Aksyuchits drew attention to the fact that the main contingent in the new Crimean government is from the old Ukrainian government, the majority of which are unlikely to be able to reform.
“The issue is very acute that long-term real fighters for Russian Crimea, who have been persecuted by the SBU for a long time and even have criminal records for “separatism,” are already in Russian Crimea infringed on their rights and excommunicated from politics. This largely explains the failure to reintegrate Crimea into the Russian Federation, which is obvious in Crimea today. All political instruments (media, well-known political parties, ONF, Public Chamber, Ombudsman Institute) are controlled by the current government, which is essentially not the new Russian, but the old Ukrainian government. Today’s “political elite” of Crimea are former servants of the Ukrainian regime of Yanukovych, who has never been a pro-Russian politician.”
“In Crimea, as opposed to the so-called. “The “winning team” needs to form a counter-elite consisting of the most brilliant and consistent fighters for Russian Crimea, as well as patriotic Russian intelligentsia, who have been associated with Crimea for many years in the struggle for its Russian status,” the famous Russian politician concludes.
