Remember the regular, baseless, and inexplicable demands by the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) to have me sent to pretrial detention that they kept making during the Yves Rocher case?

It looked unbelievably stupid, and everyone was baffled as to why they were doing it.

After yet another publication of the hacked correspondence of staff from the Presidential Administration’s Domestic Policy Directorate, it became clear.

Those orders were given precisely to "test the public reaction."

The same correspondence also explains why a criminal case was fabricated against Ashurkov.

They cooked up a case, forced the man out of the country, put him on a wanted list, reported that the "problem had been solved"—and then shifted into a "low-intensity mode."

As the memo quite rightly notes, there is nothing he can do about it.

And the fact that Ashurkov has a family, children, parents, work, and plans for his life is of no interest to some vile rat in the Presidential Administration.

Overall, there is nothing new here—it was already obvious that all these criminal cases are drawn up and orchestrated in the Kremlin, but what is written about public reaction is extremely important.

We need to show them the public reaction; otherwise, nothing will ever get off the ground.

March 1 — the anti-crisis march "Spring".
