Vladimir Zalishcheak biography

An unprecedented opportunity to become an enemy. He must be released on January 13, but whether this will happen is unknown. Lobanov and his wife Alexander Zapolskaya, a sociologist, refused to leave Russia and do not hide their anti -war position. In an interview with the Russian service, the BBC Zapolskaya spoke about the events of the last days and how any protest in Russia became impossible-on the example of her family.

Lobanov managed to say that he was beaten in the face and chest. Photos from this search on the same day hit the media. On one of them, the associate professor of Mehmat lies on the floor in a torn sweater, on the other - a stain of blood on the carpet in the living room. The clothes that were on Lobanov at the time of beating disappeared after the police departure.

They were not active participants in street anti -war protests, but supported political prisoners, went to politically motivated processes - as, for example, the case of Ilya Yashin. Lobanov organized a program for the preparation of candidates for municipal deputies "Nomination". This was enough for the morning visit of the police. A very bad respondent, a graduate of social faculty of Moscow State University, Alexander Zapolskaya, studied different forms of protest activity.

They met in one of the cafes in a shopping center near the University metro station. By that time, Mikhail Lobanov had finished the MECHMAT of Moscow State University with a red diploma, was a graduate student, as well as a political and popular activist of left -wing beliefs that begins and gained popularity. He asked inconvenient questions to the rector of Moscow State University after a fire in the main building in the year, when two people died.

He supported the students of the social faculty of Moscow State University, who in years fought with the dean for the quality of their education. I went to the Ryazan region - to support the workers of the cement factory that have been launched there. I then presented him for this, and he answered: I just did not know how you like it! They began to meet. He looked simple, simply spoke, it was not at all such a kind of smartity that I was used to.

"Already with Zapolsky at the beginning of X they created an initiative group of students, graduate students and teachers of Moscow State University, opposed the reform of higher education. Then, still, they could get to the State Duma on a round table, and they were even listened to. They protested against the tightening of the rules for passing into the premises of dormitories of Moscow State University, organized observation in the elections.

Raits were held against the Student Union of Moscow State University to become part of the pro -government All -Russian Popular Front. Now you won’t imagine this. ”I had to protest for Lobanov himself - after graduate school he began to teach, and the dean did not want to extend the contract with him right in the middle of the school year, the record“ dismissed ”in the work book.

The elders also supported him, simply not so publicly,” says Zapolskaya. As a result, they defended Lobanov - this only had to be transferred from the department of discrete mathematics to the department of the theory of functions and functional analysis. The inscription "Dismissed" had to cross out and add in the work book "Believe the corrected." Zapolskaya and Lobanov then lived in the same hostel at the Moscow State University, after the transfer they lost their place and moved to the opposite end of the Sokolnichesky metro line - the Street Podbelsky station, and then five stops on the tram through the industrial zone.

Lobanov by that time was used to that everyone knows him and treat the most unexpected questions. He and his comrades -in -arms at Moscow State University already defended his colleague Dmitry Bogatov, who was accused of calling for terrorism, protested against the illegal development of the university, participated in all major street opposition actions x. The new acquaintance began to tell Lobanov that different telegram channels write about the fact that he committed some crime, was already detained-and what to do with it, he simply does not understand.

A typical anarchist, a strange story, ”said Lobanov Zapolsky, coming home. The guy was called by Azat Miftakhov. He was a graduate student of the same department as Lobanov, on Mehmat and already had a criminal record - at one of the protests in M, he sprained the police in the face of the pepper gas, but then he escaped with a fine. Lobanov in the apartment on Podbelsky Street were, someone looked into the phone-and the party was interrupted.

Then the plot of the accusation completely changed: allegedly, the graduate student was among those who attacked the office of United Russia in the north of Moscow and threw a smoke into the window. He was identified by the "expressive eyebrows" anonymous and classified "witness Petrov." The mathematician and anarchist Miftakhov received six years in the case of the United Russia thrown into the office of United Russia I in the first two weeks [after the arrest of Miftakhov] lost five kilograms simply from horror, says Zapolskaya.

Three were detained only because they were photographed with a poster in support of Miftakhov at the Lomonosov monument. "More than 20 people were detained at Moscow State University for promotions against the Enlightenment of one of the detainees then the activist and defender of the political prisoners Konstantin Kotov - this will then become the basis for the real term of the criminal article on repeated violation of the rules for holding rallies and processions.

Another participant in those shares Dmitry Ivanov, a student of the faculty of computational mathematics and cybernetics of Moscow University, as well as the leading telegram channel “Protest MSU”, was arrested already in the year - for Fakes about the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. There were two relatively safe options - either a series of single pickets near Moscow State University, or completely go online.

Nevertheless, they decided to start with the pickets, and the question arose who would go first - to see whether they will detain or not. All members of the support group already had administrative fines, including Zapolskaya - she worked for an unauthorized procession, conducting a field sociological study, and the court appreciated this at 15 thousand. Misha said to him: Well, let's think, and got into a picket.

"He was detained and finished later. Azat Miftakhov received six years in the year. The Kirov region worked on the pilot, taking into account the time in the pre -trial detention center, he should be freed in September. The middle and lower -scale party activists sympathized. The author of the photo, Ute Weinmann, for example, Lobanov ran for the State Duma back in the year, then it was a pure formality - friends from the party put him on a deliberately impassable place in the list: they say, if you are dismissed from Moscow State University, the status of a candidate for deputies will help you.

But he himself was against it - then he wanted to engage in science more, he worked on an important publication at the junction of the areas of his former department and the present. According to the Russian scientific library, Elibrary, now Mikhail Lobanov is listed as the author of a dozen scientific articles, two dozen training courses and one book. It became clear that it was possible to win.

"Lobanov conducted an active campaign, gave the Communist Party of the Communist Party for about thousands of thousands of it, and about 4 million was collected by crowdfunding. Lobanov met with voters, he was ultimately supported by an" smart vote ", his meaning invented by Alexei Navalny in order to vote for the most strong opposition in the district - in contrast to the advocate.

From the ruling party, "United Russia". Zapolskaya instructed the last observers, brewed everyone with tea and played the guitar to relieve stress. According to the data from the sites, Lobanov won the television presenter and propagandist Yevgeny Popov - 10 thousand for about 70 thousand, we did not know how much they decide to open our crane, ”recalls Zapolskaya.

Lobanov did not recognize the results of the election. He and the rest of the opposition said that there was an electronic vote But there were no serious resources for appealing the result and, in general, for the confrontation, the Moscow Police took place at the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party, to prevent the protests after the election, the campaign ended for Lobanov at the end of October, left the headquarters from the headquarters, and did not occur to anyone that we just had no money.

On vacation. It was great, we walked around the parks, ”says Zapolskaya. We understood that this war was opening the impotent possibilities of writing us down in traitors and enemies, but Misha said: let's not succumb to panic.” Lobanov signed several anti -war statements, and the inscription "No war" appeared on their balcony. Sometimes the district police officer came to them and warned about responsibility for participating in promotions, which they often did not hear about.

Lobanov and Zapolskaya did not participate in those street protests where they could be delayed: the second administrative punishment for both could turn into criminal.

They went to politically motivated courts - to the opposition Ilya Yashin and Dmitry Ivanov, they arranged actions in support of the journalism students - they wanted to formally pay for mat in public chats, and in fact that they ridiculed their classmate, who came to classes with the flag of a self -proclaimed LPR. In the subway one could meet people who cry and sing [Soviet anti -war song] "Sun Circle", - recalls Zapolskaya.

She recalls how she was traveling with Lobanov in the subway and saw a guy with a backpack.Under the film on the backpack, the number of the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was written. The spouses directly in the car began to google what kind of article it turned out that she was punishing for "planning, preparing, unleashing or conducting an aggressive war." She also recalls how two unfamiliar girls exchanged anti -war stickers right on the street - on Mira Avenue.

But, she says, if not to configure optics specifically, then the war in Moscow is invisible: “This is very typical for our city: it was in the crisis of the year or during the inflation of the GO. You will go to some kind of shopping center of the European type, and there the people buy expensive things, everyone goes with branded packages. Here is now the same.” Students had to be set for the essays after the outbreak of war, and the educational part asked in direct text: they say, to wait for the assessment from you or are you sharply dumping and you are not up to it?

We all [did not emigrate] here! In general, Alexander Zapolskaya says, their family life during the war was "almost the same life in the repressive state of two leading ends meets of teachers -scientists" - as before the war. He described him as a kind of uber for candidates, where anyone receives a universal set of knowledge on how to submit documents, what mistakes to avoid, how to conduct a campaign.

In the summer, Lobanov announced the launch of the project “Nomination” aloud - and literally a few days later vigilant citizens reported to the police that there was an inscription on the balcony of his house that discredits the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The author of the photo, Ilya Yashin signature for the photo, the project "Nomination" shortly before his arrest was supported by oppositionist Ilya Yashin "The inscription made in the spring for some reason did not interest anyone and, admitly, played in the rains, says Zapolyskaya.

Lobanov’s anti -war posts were added to the inscription on the balcony, in which the examination found the same discrediting armed In June, he received 15 days of imprisonment. Maybe we did not have any other advantages, we did not travel much, we have no material benefits. "She says that even" discount cards to the nearest food "were always with Mikhail, she did not need Lobanov and Zapolskaya.

The Communist Party of the Communist Party unofficially made it clear that it was not necessary to count on Lobanov’s support. “In the summer I had thoughts: with whom he [in a special -reception] sits, on the upper shelf of the bed or on the lower one.
