About one of the cat “tattoos,” the protocol says: “the enmity between prisoners and government officials is so strong that prisoners, at any opportunity, strive to get this tattoo, symbolizing their hatred of prison guards, police, and judges.”
Regarding the other, the authoritative opinion of the Russian researcher of thieves’ jargon, Fima Zhiganets, is cited: it is a response to the greeting “evening in the hut” and often has an aggressive continuation, which again expresses the hostile attitude of thieves who live according to concepts towards law enforcement officers. “By posting the specified photo in the user account… of the Telegram messenger, to which all Internet users, including minors, have access, gr. Gerasimov actually expressed his consent to the free use of content by any person,” the “E” center believes.
“The dissemination of information about the social movement “A.U.E.”* causes a great public outcry among the population of the Russian Federation (*aggressor country), is aimed at manipulating public opinion, creating an environment of social tension,” the businessman read further, trying to wake up, “and from the point of view of citizens, among whom such beliefs are propagated, provokes the formation of a negative attitude towards the current government, forms the principle of replacing the set of laws and rules adopted in a civilized, law-abiding society with thieves’ rules, which are designed to supplant all other conventions and give the actions of those living according to concepts a special meaning.”
The time of the offense was designated as September 14, 9.50, when he was discovered (that is, they went to Telegram), although the photo has been hanging on the profile for several years. Gerasimov rewinded the events and inevitably came to the conclusion: someone decided to look at the ancient comic cat a week after the publication on Fontanka of the material about his dispute with the Komblag and SPP. In it, the businessman insisted that until he was paid off under the contract for the trees, all this beauty that the city boasts belonged to the businessman (as it does now, if you literally read his contract with the city SPP).
Gerasimov was informed about the hearing in the Kirovsky District Court on Saturday, November 9; his lawyer was on a business trip. As a result, on Monday morning, the businessman went to court alone, armed with a legal position in which he challenged the wording of the protocol: a Telegram profile is not intended for public access, and you need to specifically scroll down to the desired photo; There was no administrative investigation, nor an examination. Already in court, he verbally added about his past in the prosecutor’s office and publications in the media, after which everything started to spin. Separately, he insisted that the painted lamp is nothing more than a joke that does not promote, but ridicules prohibited symbols.
– From what does it follow that he is ridiculing? — the judge clarified incredulously.
“Because it is placed on a toy cat,” Gerasimov answered, not knowing what else to add.
The consideration of the case was not postponed, and it was also not possible to write a request for an examination on the spot. After 10 minutes, the judge found Gerasimov guilty, but assessed the impudent cat at the lower limit of the punishment – a fine of a thousand rubles. The businessman intends to appeal against it too.
Fontanka contacted the head of the debt department, Vasily Ponidelko, to find out whether officials had shown such interest in the profile of a businessman who was trying to collect money from an enterprise under their jurisdiction. He assured that he was hearing the story about the cat for the first time from the correspondent. He also added that the committee is in dialogue with Gerasimov and is determined to help him by resolving the dispute within the framework of the law.
