Limits instead of time
How reported On the website of the headquarters of the Kamchatka Territory Investigative Committee, the investigators’ evidence, the court considered sufficient for a guilty verdict.
“By a court decision, taking into account the restriction in the form of house arrest, the restriction of freedom was given for 1 year and the remaining restriction of freedom was given as 9 months. The court’s decision has not yet entered into force.
The investigation and the court found that on the evening of August 2, 2021, Redkin “crossed a snow and swamp vehicle through an area unrelated to hunting grounds.” At the same time, without a hunting permit, he shot a brown bear with a carbine.
“The damage to the hunting resources of the region due to the illegal activities of the defendants is estimated at a large sum of 60,000 rubles,” the ministry said.
Then the deputy “moved to a hill, located near the landfills of the village of Ozernovsky, Ust-Bolsheretsky district.” From the hatch of his vehicle, using the thermal imaging image of the carbine, it “found a possible target”, displayed “in the form of a bright spot on a dark background.”
“In his opinion, it visually resembled the example of a brown bear. He fired at least three shots at an unspecified target, without excluding the possibility of firing at a person. As a result, one of the shells was 30, which at that time was at a distance of about 274 meters from the shooter and was engaged in collecting scrap metal. ”The man died from a gunshot wound in a medical facility of the municipal district, ”said a ten-year-old local resident.
“Not Enough Sentence”
Yuri, a friend of the deceased Andrei Tolstopyatov, suggested in an interview with socialbites.ca that Redkin most likely did not repent of his deed. He also found the deputy’s sentence too light.
“There is no man, his wife was left alone with their two children. And the person will most likely not even repent. Because he doesn’t see ordinary citizens as human beings. This is the servant of the people. I don’t know anything about the family’s willingness to appeal the decision, it became clear right away that the judiciary wouldn’t work properly! Confusing a man with a bear! Enjoyable! Andrei was 170 cm tall, ”she got angry.
A friend of the deputy Yevgeny Chernov told socialbites.ca that local people are calm about Redkin’s decision.
“In the general audience, the local population reacted calmly, I do not know what will happen to the relatives of the deceased. As I understand it, both the widow and the mother were given a large compensation. The totals are huge. Everyone made it easy. “As they say, the absence of a husband, a father and a son is at least compensated for,” he said.
According to him, he is “happy” with such a decision, although he is “sad” for the deceased. According to RIA Novosti, Redkin transferred 20 million rubles to the wife of the deceased and 10 million rubles to his mother in the Kamchatka urban district.
State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein told socialbites.ca that the court’s decision “may be fair or unfair, but there is no need to talk about legality.” However, he noted that he thought the sentence was disproportionate to the act.
“We (United Russia) strongly condemn such phenomena and citizens like Redkin. Considering the inadequacy of the penalty and the penalty imposed, which in our opinion is disproportionate to the action, I will send a relevant objection to the address of the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor (I will request) to object to the tolerance of this penalty.” parliamentarian stressed.
“We are ready to punish”
Shortly after the murder, on August 10, 2021, Redkin’s representative, Olga Struchenko, distributed a publication on his behalf.
“In the evening in the village of Ozernovsky, I found out that a bear is roaming in the dump, where local residents can suffer. I bought a gun and decided to scare him away. Shot by a bear at dusk. Later, at about the same time, I learned that a local resident who died in the hospital was injured, ”says the text of the attorney’s appeal.
Redkin added that he withdrew his candidacy from the district legislature deputies and suspended his membership in United Russia. “I made a decision for myself yesterday and I am ready to serve the sentence determined by the court,” he said.
Then Chernova told socialbites.ca that this area has been in a really tense state for the past few years due to the invasion of animals.
“The situation with the bears has been really tense for the last two or three years. The bears roam freely around the village, in the gardens, not to mention the areas adjacent to the village. Almost no one searches for mushrooms anymore because bears are everywhere. They sent me photos from this dump, which is very close to the residences in one of the neighborhoods of the village. “Like cows grazing in a field,” the woman said.
