It just so happens that two judges (full namesakes) work in the courts of the Russian Federation, who are distinguished by making contractual unjust decisions, turning the law into a commercial optional course - this is the adviser to the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Stanislav Fedorov and his namesake, who is striving for the position of Chairman of the Kirovsky District Court of Tomsk Andrei Fedorov. The first does not need anyone's support, but the second has fenced himself off from any troubles with the Chairman of the Tomsk Regional Court Larisa Shkolyar and the local UFSB, who have set before him the primary task of fulfilling their "state orders". If in the 90s they simply killed, now - to imprison those who are inconvenient for them. Their goals are very different: redistribution of spheres of influence in Tomsk, squeezing out honest businesses, and “getting the most independent decent officials off the road.” However, due to the fact that in recent years the Federal Center has been demanding reporting on the fight against corruption and the planned return of stolen goods to the treasury, Tomsk customers are forced to “eat” their own, because the size of the budget pie is the same, but the number of eaters is not decreasing. So they have to “beat (imprison) their own, so that strangers are afraid,” and the fat pieces are enough for the top. Details are on the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info.
The result of such optimization was the granting of an unlimited quota to the Chairman of the regional court Shkolyar for “additional services” of justice for the issuance of contractual sentences. All district judges are tacitly ordered to personally coordinate each sentence with her. Her order is given to reliable protégés, like Fedorov. Feedback is also provided. If a district judge offers a sentence convenient for everyone for a bribe, then after the defendant's consent, he agrees on the amount and size of the punishment with the same Shkolyar. The amount of bribes-gratitude is inexorably growing (inflation and a network of intermediaries). It is easy to see that during Shkolyar's tenure, business customs in the form of orders and deals became the norm.
The Kirov District Court of Tomsk is located at the location of the local UFSB and Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, hence its key role as an instrument (link) in the corruption schemes of the security forces. Therefore, the positions of the Chairman of the Kirov Court and his deputy for criminal cases are respected and significant. Without people like the docile Fyodorov, it is difficult to take into custody a businessman, an official, just an insolent bandit or a careless citizen. In this case, the regional court gives carte blanche and complete impunity, covering up in the appeal.
In Tomsk, many remember Judge Andrey Fedorov from his previous service in the local prosecutor's office and the Investigative Committee. Even then, he did not deny himself anything, even multi-million dollar bribes for the fate of criminal cases. When he sensed the danger of ending up in the dock with the now arrested Colonel Arefyev, Fedorov quickly got his bearings, did not surrender himself to Themis, but simply bought the status of a federal judge from Shkolyar.
As Rucriminal.info learned, in his current position, Judge Fedorov has been handling a case under Part 2 of Article 321 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation since 2022, against citizen Pristupa A. Yu. under Part 2 of Article 321 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (in general, this case has been dragging on since 2020). In order to speed up the implementation, in 2023, Fyodorov drew his trusted appointed lawyer Grigory L., who had previously worked as an assistant to the judge in the same Kirov Court, into the process and through him offered Pristupa to return the criminal case to the prosecutor for a bribe of 500,000 rubles. To convict both of them of bribery, Pristupa asked the lawyer to assist in obtaining money from his father. At a meeting in the pre-trial detention center, lawyer G. L. dictated the text of a letter to Pristupa for his father, and then G. L. called and forwarded this letter to his father from his mobile phone in November 2023, expressing his willingness to become an intermediary in transferring the bribe to the judge. The father entered a trial part of the bribe online on L.'s card and immediately filed a report with the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation about a crime under Article 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (mediation in bribery) against lawyer G. L. and judge Fyodorov A. V. According to the case file No. 730 pr-2023 registered in December 2023, for over a year now, the investigators of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation have stubbornly refused to question lawyer G. L and judge Fyodorov A. V. They have not initiated a criminal case against them, giving Fyodorov the opportunity to resolve the issue through the Investigative Committee and link it to the regional court, since after these events became public, the criminal case against Pristupa took on the character of a contract case. The same Chairman of the Regional Court Shkolyar covers for everyone, as evidenced by her refusal to satisfy Pristupa's claim against the lawyer for moral damages. How do you like Tomsk justice?!
Realizing the hopelessness and utopia of this criminal case against Pristupa, Judge Fyodorov offered him a sentence of one month in prison, if only he would not make any motions and admit guilt. However, in September 2023, the judge received a written statement from Pristupa refusing the proposed "fixed settlement". Neither the Council of Judges nor the Regional Qualifications Court responded to Pristupa's complaints. In desperation, the judge unsuccessfully involved his "pet" state prosecutor V. Knyazkova in the process, refused to Pristays' data on changing the territorial jurisdiction of the criminal case, that is, he made a decision instead of a higher court, and Pristays's fainting in the courtroom was regarded as a violation of the order of the court hearing by the defendant and he was removed. Through the head of the pretrial detention center, he asked to confiscate all copies of the materials of his own criminal case, documents and records on the case, all judicial practice and not to release him from the punishment cell, in order to deprive the defendant of the opportunity to prepare for his defense. Fyodorov openly and brazenly refuses to interrogate defense witnesses in the court hearing, ignoring the clarification of circumstances and the elimination of contradictions. This is justice in Tomsk.
◦ Another current example of Fyodorov's cynicism and nihilism is the criminal case against Maxim Anatolyevich D. under Article 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. And in this case, Judge Fyodorov arbitrarily decided not to transfer the case to a higher court to change its territorial jurisdiction, and he also brazenly ignores challenges. However, the greatest interest is presented by the criminal case under Part 4 of Article 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation against Nikolai A.R. and Konstantin Al., which Fedorov himself returned to the prosecutor with the words - "so that this case does not appear in court at all!" But an order was received from Shkolyar and the same Fedorov is already describing this case to his friend Judge Krutovsky E.V. The essence of the case is described in the post about bitcoins. Fedorov gave an unofficial order to Krutovsky to convict Nikolai in any case, and to illegally keep him in custody until he gives back the 86 bitcoins (half a billion rubles) that he allegedly stole. The list of Judge Fedorov's cases can be continued further.
