Друзья! В мире усиливается интерес к личности Павла Грудинина, который занял 2 место на выборах президента 18 марта 2018 г. В мире заинтересовались и рейдерской атакой на совхоз имени Ленина, которую воспринимают как месть П. Грудинину за успешное выступление на выборах. В этой связи публикую заявление на английском языке, обращённое к международной общественности.

Put an end to arbitrary acts of the Russian authorities and the judiciary
Statement of the CC CPRF

It is almost a month since a large group of the Russian State Duma deputies sent letters  to the President of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General of the RF, the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia calling for an end to an attempt at a hostile takeover of the Lenin Collective Farm. The letter cited numerous gross violations of the law on the part of the law-enforcement bodies and the courts in the Moscow Oblast aimed at making short shrift of the collective farm and its head. We have still not received any official answers to these letters. This is absolutely not normal.

The Moscow regional court at its session on June 17, 2019 considered an appeal of the director of the Lenin Collective Farm, Pavel Grudinin, against the ruling of the Vidnoye City Court which paved the way for a hostile takeover of a people’s enterprise. Thus all the norms of decency were again cast away during the proceedings. Our court, claiming to be the most “independent” in the world, simply brushed aside the arguments of the defence and witnesses without bothering to look into the matter. This is utter lawlessness wearing judges’ mantles. The mechanism of criminal raidership takeover has been set in motion.

In accordance with due legal process and in compliance with the law the city court verdict would have been overruled by a higher court because of a great many procedural violations. However, there are two circumstances in the “Grudinin case” which make it unlikely that even the bare minimum of decency will be observed.

First of all, it has to be borne in mind that the attack on the collective farm has the backing of powerful selfish interests.
