Advisor to the head of Roskosmos charged with treason

80

It became known about the development of events related to the case of the former journalist, adviser to the head of Roscosmos, Ivan Safronov. According to recent reports, Safronov has been charged with high treason. It is emphasized that the charge is not related to the activities of Ivan Safronov as an adviser to the federal space agency.

Thus, Safronov transferred from suspect status to defendant status. However, Ivan does not admit his guilt.



Safronov is under arrest until September 6 of this year. Law enforcers believe that, as a journalist, Ivan entered into cooperation with special services of the Czech Republic. During this collaboration, he transmitted information about weapons and the activities of the RF Armed Forces in the Middle East.

The lawyer of Ivan Safronov notes that the investigation has not yet indicated how the journalist was generally recruited, to whom specifically and how he transmitted the information.

Experts believe that the reason for the criminal case was the publication of Safronov in Kommersant about the Egyptian contract for Russian fighters. However, at the moment this information is not confirmed. And if this is true, then it would be worthwhile, within the framework of the case, to find out who transmitted such data (if they had signs of state secrets) to the journalist himself and for what purpose.

Ivan Safronov is 30 years old. He is a graduate of the Higher School of Economics with a degree in Journalism.

      It is necessary to find out who transmitted the data. And punish. In general, a “graduate of the HSE” is already a reason for being accused of treason. Painfully anti-Russian sharashka.

            You quote a funny boy, and I appreciate!
            The production of the Russian Federation, long before the Prospect of Mishustin (which also did not particularly show itself in the "field of creating the people's welfare"), was covered in head over heels with the project of a cannibalistic pension reform and one must have no brains at all to glorify Prospect.
            And more about the actions of that liberal Prospect ...
            In Russia, up to 40 million are poor, and often just beggars.
            At the same time, 18 million tons are burnt and buried in the country annually. food with an expiring shelf life, which can still be consumed because it has not expired in storage time, but such food is not transferred for sale BECAUSE that when it is taken to a landfill, VAT is void and no income tax is levied.
            And retailers are ready to give these products to special funds for distribution among the poor, if Pr-in deals with VAT and income tax (canceling them when transferring to the poor), but Pr-in prefers not to feed the hungry and not support the life of the poor and just burn food ,.
            And some kind of bullshit will advertise this to the HSE, forcing the liberal Pr-in to leave the hungry hungry, and the poor poor ??

      Actually, the charge of high treason is quite serious.
      It is necessary to distinguish:
      espionage,
      disclosure of state secrets,
      high treason.
      Espionage is the act of persons of another state. As a rule, any citizen of another state is a potential spy. Their job is to sniff out secrets and pass on. Not a very difficult article.
      The disclosure of state secrets - if you divulge information knowingly containing state secrets.
      High treason - there should be a composition:
      1. work for a foreign organization,
      2. the transfer of this organization information containing state secrets,
      3. Information containing state secrets should be received by you directly at your work and in one way or another is prohibited from being announced.
      Without these three points, treason cannot be attributed to the word NO from the word ABSOLUTELY.
      That is, if Safronov is blamed for the State Treason, then the publication has nothing to do with it.
      If the composition is proved, there is irrefutable evidence (this is all work not one day or even a month) and no matter how the defenders howl at this topic, they will write him out as it should.
      And rightly so in general.
      Gosizmena is truly a SERIOUS crime. Perfect against us all. Safronov didn't give a damn about everyone.

            But I know the cases, When1. They find something, conduct an examination and declare that it is a state secret.
            Recently there was an article that a scientist who lectured abroad was detained for state secrets; two years ago he secretly searched his luggage and examined one of the papers; the examination was recognized as state secret. The document is not shown to him, but he himself does not remember what was there.

              Hard to believe articles in the current press. A source would be read - maybe that would have cleared up .... But the fact that a person does not remember .... Maybe he does not remember. Disclosure is intentional and not intentional.

      The criminal case on Safronov’s charge of transferring secret information to the Czech special services on the sale of Russian weapons to Africa and the Middle East was opened on July 6, 2020, but a day later, according to the testimony of lawyer Ivan Pavlov, there were 7 hardcover volumes. It turned out that Safronov’s telephone and electronic correspondence had been monitored by the FSB for a long time, and a number of departmental examinations rated the information transmitted to them as secret.

      Seven volumes! This is how many episodes he goes through ...

      The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service secretly controlled Safronov’s correspondence by e-mail from a home computer. According to lawyer Ivan Pavlov, the investigation believes that the secret information was transmitted by Safronov over the Internet using encryption methods. According to the FSB version, in 2012 Safronov was recruited by the Czech special services - the Office for External Relations and Information (ÚZSI), and in 2017 Safronov, who did not have access to state secrets, but who had personal contacts among top managers of defense industry enterprises, received from an employee Czech special services encrypted mission to collect information on military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and African countries and the activities of the Russian military in the Middle East.


      To the attention of all writing articles on weapons and the military-technical field in general!
      (Perhaps this also applies to commentators!)
      In the analytical article “Safronov’s case: what are the problems with prosecution for high treason in Russia”, devoted to legal regulation in the field of state secrets protection, the General Director of the Russian Council on International Affairs (INF) Andrei Kortunov noted that there are no completely transparent information criteria in the legislation of the Russian Federation, representing state secrets has adverse effects. At the same time, experts and journalists working with topics of the military sphere and armaments are at greatest risk. Paying attention to the absence in the Russian Federation of a set of rules and recommendations for journalists on coverage of military-technical cooperation with foreign countries, military expert Andrei Frolov comes to the conclusion that in Russia even a review article written about military-technical cooperation on open sources in the FSB regarded as the disclosure of state secrets. Lawyers Vladimir Zherebenkov and Ruslan Kobzev also criticized that such cases in Russia are being held behind closed doors, secret from the public and the press, who cannot find out about the arguments of the prosecution and the defense. The examination in such cases is secret, departmental and dependent on the investigation, it is practically impossible to challenge its findings, and prosecutorial supervision in cases of espionage and state secrets investigated by the FSB is very limited.

        And suddenly - an arrest!

      A. Privalov (Alexander Privalov), dear, in the times of the USSR it was established that the volume of the criminal case contains approximately 250 pages. In the Russian Federation, all investigators adhere to this rule. I can assume that volumes 2-3 are printouts of negotiations by phone, skype, e-mail. Another couple or three volumes of examination, proving that the negotiations contained information containing state secrets. Well, what is left on volume 1: decisions on the initiation of a criminal case, all materials for searches and seizures, decisions on the appointment of examinations on documents and information carriers seized during searches and seizures, protocols of the first interrogations, materials on the election of a preventive measure by the court, documents on the status already the accused. Not very many volumes, and there should not be many episodes. Otherwise, the judge may ask the opera a very unpleasant question: "When did you realize that the defendant committed a crime?" And if the opera says that after 3-4 episodes, (and not after the first or second, because the crime is especially grave), the question of negligence (namely criminal) of both the opera, and his boss, and the prosecutor will arise, which supervises the body that supervised for the subject of the ORD.

        On paperwork I agree. But, if a case is initiated on the basis of the implementation of operational materials, such an event is sometimes preceded by a lengthy process from the moment the operative receives information about preparations for the commission of a crime committed or committed. The methods for collecting and documenting this information are the ARD.
        The decision on the initiation (refusal) of the case is approved by the prosecutor, he asks the staff.

      The fact is that in this way Mr. Rogozin falls under the same article. Moreover, precedents for this are enough, according to the press.

      Of course, the press has 100℅ faith, but she never believes (sarcasm).

      When creating the “Victory” car, the car was first given the name “Homeland”. When Stalin was informed about this, he ironically asked: “How much will you sell your homeland?” Frightened, the developers changed the name of the car to "Victory." To which Stalin remarked: "Victory is small, but let it be Victory."
