As it became known to the Cheka-OGPU, the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Smolensk region closed the case of torture of Alexei Vladimirov. The main defendant in the case, who was never identified, was acting. Head of the Main Directorate of the Prosecutor General’s Office for Supervision of the Investigation of Particularly Important Cases Evgeniy Polonsky. Before taking this position, he headed the prosecutor’s office of the Smolensk region and during this period of time his office apartment was robbed. The prosecutor alerted all the security officials, including the FSB, and the Vladimirovs’ mother and son were detained.

However, they were not convicted of the crime; there was no evidence. As Alexey Vladimirov pointed out, by order of Polonsky, he was tortured in the basement of pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Smolensk until he confessed, and in the morning, right in the office of the head of the pre-trial detention center, Mikhalik, Polonsky personally interrogated him “with bias.” The story repeated itself with Alexei’s mother; she was also interrogated by Polonsky in the office of the head of the pre-trial detention center.

As a result, the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Smolensk Region opened a criminal case on the fact of causing bodily harm to Alexey Vladimirov. During interrogations, Polonsky called the events with Vladimirova a “personal reception” within the pre-trial detention center. But he categorically denied visiting Alexey.

As a result, the case of Vladimirov’s torture was recently dismissed due to the absence of a crime. At the same time, the case against Vladimirov about theft from the prosecutor’s apartment was returned to the prosecutor and they make it clear that it may not end up in court.

A kind of exchange.

However, Vladimirov intends to appeal the decision to dismiss the case.
