A day before the deadline expired, I finally paid the amount demanded for myself and Oleg in the fabricated Yves Rocher case. Let me remind you that the formal plaintiff, the company MPK, told the court that it had no idea how the Investigative Committee investigator had calculated such “damages,” and that it had no data with which to verify those figures. But since he calculated it, he must know best.
I had to pay—it matters from the standpoint of Oleg’s hypothetical parole. (Highly hypothetical, after 17 disciplinary penalties, 3 stints in a punishment cell, and strict detention conditions).
The total comes to this: 4,498,000 (the amount of the claim) + 171,000 (enforcement fee for me) + 171,000 (enforcement fee for Oleg) = 4,840,000 rubles.
To pay it off, I used what remained of my compensation from a year of work with Aeroflot’s board of directors, along with what I had earned as a sole proprietor since being stripped of my lawyer status.
Another 16 million rubles in the Kirovles case are looming on the horizon, but that one is simpler—I definitely won’t be able to pay it, so I’m not even thinking about it.
After the Forces of Good win, we’ll send all the judges of the Zamoskvoretsky and Basmanny courts onto suburban commuter trains with balalaikas and accordions, so they can earn money through honest work and return what they stole from me. (Though this wasn’t covert theft but open seizure of property, so “loot” would be more accurate).
