The common-law husband of Evgenia Chudnovets, who was convicted for the repost, plans to propose to her at the gates of the colony. All the clothes for Chudnovets and her son were bought by the first channel Seven girls and a three-year-old boy

After the sentence was overturned and released, Yevgenia Chudnovets, previously convicted of reposting, gave many interviews, visited several television studios and held a press conference at which she announced the creation of a new human rights organization. "Sud Ch" will help those who suffer from "system errors", as Evgenia herself calls it. But those who fought for the liberation of Chudnovets for several months now write about her with restraint or negatively. What happened?

Channel One vs "Rain"

On March 10, journalists, citing lawyer Yevgenia Chudnovets, reported on the news that the editors of the Male / Female program, which airs on Channel One, forcibly keep Yevgeny in the pavilion at the Gorky film studio, where filming was taking place.

Allegedly, the reason that Chudnovets herself, her roommate Andrei Myasnikov and lawyer Vitalina Pankova were not allowed out of the studio was the unwillingness of the producers of Male / Female to let them go to shoot for the Dozhd TV channel. Pankova's phone was "confiscated", the participants of the program were "insulted".

The details soon became clear. Activist Maria Baronova, who was present at the filming, explained to Mediazona that no one detained Chudnovets, and Pankova's phone was taken away because it interfered with recording the program.

The only situation that at least somehow resembled a conflict was when the producer took the phone from the lawyer Chudnovets, because she corresponded and prevented the equipment from working.

Oksana Shulga, editor-in-chief of Male / Female, and the press service of Channel One also officially stated that there was no deduction. But, according to them, Chudnovets signed a contract with the program, according to which she pledged not to appear on other talk shows. The problem was that Evgenia was late for the broadcast with Ksenia Sobchak on Dozhd. A Snob source on Channel One said that Pankova had made up the story of her detention to justify being late.

At 23:00, the broadcast of “Sobchak Live” with Evgenia Chudnovets still began. And to the surprise of the host herself, Chudnovets said that after the alleged conflict with Gorky’s studio, having escaped from captivity, she did not go to the shooting of Rain, where they were waiting for her, but “of course, home.” The conflict was expressed in the fact that she did not like the dress proposed by the costumers of the program.

I was scolded for refusing to wear the dress they wanted to offer me and choosing another one. They thought that I was capricious and my crown grew.

Mutual misunderstanding also arose because of the clause about the exclusive. Chudnovets believes that he is advisory in nature, and the editors of the program allegedly threatened her with a lawsuit if she came to another broadcast. Later, the producers of "Male / Female" reported that "home", that is, to the hotel, Evgeny was taken by the editorial car.

The Male/Female program never aired. At a press conference at TASS on March 15, Yevgenia Chudnovets said she did not know why, but suspected that it was because of the conflict.

"Court H" and "Officers of Russia"

The press conference began with a statement by Chudnovets.

Any big mechanism, big system sometimes fails. They can and should be done. […] In my business, the media played a big role, which took a lot of time and effort from many people. But for every unjust, in the opinion of society, case, we cannot and should not arrange something like that.

Then she announced the emergence of a public organization named in her honor: "Court Ch".

This is not the first movement that plans to establish Chudnovets with his name in the title. In Kataysk, Kurgan region, where the woman had recently lived and was detained, she opened a public page on the VKontakte network called “CHE KF” - “Chudnovets Evgenia - Kataysk Free”. In this community, Evgenia posted videos of inspections of local stores and pharmacies, trying to draw the attention of the townspeople to the violations she allegedly found.

At the table at the press conference were Chudnovets herself, TASS host Andrey Zhurankov, cohabitant Chudnovets, who was previously called the husband by the media, and then the common-law husband, Andrey Myasnikov, lawyer Vitalina Pankova and Chairman of the Public Chamber and leader of the movement "Officers of Russia" Anton Tsvetkov.

Little is known about Myasnikov: on social networks, he indicates the status of "self-employed", he almost never told reporters about himself, he lived with Chudnovets, her mother and three-year-old son Lyova in Kataysk. After the arrest of Chudnovets, the man actively commented, attracted lawyers to the case.

Vitalina Pankova was born and lived most of her life in Yekaterinburg, graduated from the Ural Law University, nothing is known about her previous practice. In an interview, Evgenia calls her a friend, in the process Pankova appeared only after the Supreme Court overturned the verdict of the Katai court. Prior to this, Chudnovets was defended by other lawyers.

Anton Tsvetkov became famous in September 2016, when, at the head of the “Officers of Russia”, he came to close the exhibition of Jock Sturgess at the Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography due to the fact that it allegedly contained child pornography. Subsequently, he apologized and said that blogger Elena Miro misinformed him, since in reality there was no pornography at the exhibition. Later, Anton arranged a similar visit to the exhibition of Jan Fabre in the St. Petersburg Hermitage. True, he did not physically try to close it.

About Tsvetkov, who works at once in two public organizations called "Officers of Russia", and more recently heads the Public Chamber, it is known that he never served in the army.

Yevgenia Chudnovets, who announced her intention to become a human rights activist, has no special education. Her last official place of work was kindergarten No. 124 in Yekaterinburg, but she was not a teacher, as many media still continue to write, but a cleaner. Chudnovets formally remained in this position even after moving to Kataysk, where she planned to develop a small business for sewing and selling soft toys. In parallel, she began to shoot videos about consumer protection and upload them to groups on VK.

I was often compared to Lena Letuchaya, although we started our activities almost at the same time. She went to hotels and bars, and I went to shops.

At the press conference, Chudnovets never thanked or even mentioned the names of the lawyers who sought to overturn the verdict - Alexei Fedyarov and Alexei Bushmakov. She also did not remember Olga Romanova, the leader of the Rus Sedentary movement, which led the Chudnovets case, nor the activists of Open Russia Maria Baronova and Polina Nemirovskaya, nor the journalist Ekaterina Vinokurova, nor the writer and deputy Sergei Shergunov, nor the social activists Kristina Potupchik and Anna Levchenko, nor anyone else from those who gave her case "mediality", which, as Chudnovets herself said, played a big role in her release.

She also never mentioned these people in any interview for NTV, Dozhd and other TV channels and publications.

Seven girls and a three-year-old boy

Although in an interview with Sobchak, Evgenia claims that she was looking for an apartment and an office in Kataysk, since she moved there with a child and wanted to sew toys, in reality, most of the time that Chudnovets lived in the Kurgan region, her son Leva remained with his father Maxim Chudnovets and his paternal grandmother , wrote Novaya Gazeta. Grandmother just works as a teacher in that kindergarten, where she was listed as a cleaning lady Chudnovets. After the arrest of Evgenia, they were going to take their son to an orphanage, but his father managed to defend him, and he remained in Yekaterinburg.

The only publication that talked to the ex-husband and father of the child Chudnovets was Life. As correspondents found out, after her release, Yevgenia did not come to visit her son either on March 6 or 7, although she talked a lot about separation from him while in custody. Then Chudnovets decided to take her son and leave for Moscow to become a human rights activist.

We discussed the ideal situation with her so that the child would see both me and her every day. That is, mother and father, - explained Maxim Chudnovets.
- And if Evgenia wants to leave Yekaterinburg and pick up her son?
- I'll fight it.
- You will not give the child to her?
- Well, how. I am not legally entitled to this. But I will deal with the situation.

On the second day of their stay in Moscow, Chudnovets, together with her son and Andrei Myasnikov, settled with the activist Anna Levchenko, who, along with others, took part in the fate of Evgenia. Anna Levchenko is the head of the odious movement "Surrender the pedophile!" and the "Monitoring Center for the Identification of Dangerous and Prohibited Content" . She is also known for actively fighting groups to help LGBT teenagers "Children 404".

The family lived in Levchenko's apartment for four days, after which, on the eve of the press conference, they left with a scandal. It’s hard to say what exactly happened, but you can get a general impression from the comments of Levchenko herself, Myasnikov and other people close to the situation on Facebook.

Stalin's lawyer Gurevich, an acquaintance of Levchenko's who met with Chudnovets in Moscow, paints a different picture.

According to her, the child Chudnovets “stripped naked and pooped on the floor,” while there was no supervision of him. At the same time, Evgenia herself had inadequate ideas about the prospects for life in the capital and her future career.

I arrived, met, sat down at the table.
“I am listening to you,” I say.
No, I'm listening to you.
Zhenya, I was asked to help you. Let's go: what do you want?
— I want an apartment in Moscow.
Further conversation boiled down to the fact that I tried to explain to Zhenya that she would not receive an apartment in Moscow, that the maximum that she would receive in a Russian court was 500-700 thousand compensation, if it came to the European court - 40-50 thousand. Still not enough for an apartment.
Zhenya retorted that I was wrong, that she was a star, and now everyone will gladly give her money for an apartment and a job.

Gurevich also criticized the projects of Chudnovets, because she does not understand anything about what she wants to do.

The woman, unable to connect two words, carried enchanting nonsense about the human rights center of Evgenia Chudnovets, on the website of which a popular vote will decide whether a person is guilty or not.

Gurevich ended her post with an appeal to Chudnovets:

And I would like to advise Zhenya to return home, deal with her rehabilitation, treatment of the child and family, and not get involved in something that you don’t understand anything at all. You don't look like a star, you look funny and stupid. You have not passed the test with copper pipes.

After this post, an exchange of sharp comments took place between Levchenko and Myasnikov. Chudnovets' roommate said that Levchenko was simply jealous of Chudnovets, because she herself was single and had no children.

Maria Baronova on Facebook described the situation, which concerns not only Levchenko and Chudnovets, but also other people who helped get Evgenia out of prison, in the form of a parable about human ingratitude.

The story was summed up by human rights activist and journalist Olga Romanova. She believes that the Chudnovets child needs medical attention, but Evgenia herself ignores this.

In her presentation, Evgenia Chudnovets is “such a Russian breed, mostly female, that was born with challah on its head.”

In her youth, she will clap her eyelashes, drowning kittens, and then she will grow challah and will casually bite off the heads of: rivals, relatives, ex-husbands, girlfriends ... and what's wrong? Che zenki something hatched? It will be necessary to remember Putin at the same time, or the prosecutor's office, or the devil is bald - he will remember. We need Ribbentrop - no doubt about it. Everywhere, of course, there are. But now I am extremely worried that she began to threaten the people who sheltered her. And this is exactly the case when Putin has nothing to do with it. Meet Chudnovets - run.

About the Chudnovets case

On November 8, 2016, the Kataisky District Court (Kurgan Region) found Yevgenia Chudnovets guilty of committing a crime under Part 2 of Art. 242.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Distribution of materials with pornographic images of minors”), for posting a video on the social network VKontakte, which allegedly mocks a child in a children's camp.

The court sentenced the teacher to six months in prison. Subsequently, on the appeal of the prosecutor's office of the Kurgan region, the court reduced this period to five months. Since January 13, she has been serving her sentence in a women's correctional colony in Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk Region.

On February 23, Leonid Korzhinek, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, asked the Supreme Court to overturn the verdict against Chudnovets. It was canceled by the Kurgan Regional Court on March 6, on the same day she was released from the women's colony in Nizhny Tagil. The Chudnovets case caused a great public outcry.

Zhenya, marry me!

These words, so desirable for every woman, sound in a very specific place - at the gates of the women's colony in Nizhny Tagil. Andrey Myasnikov pronounces them - the gentleman of the most famous teacher of Russia at the moment, Evgenia Chudnovets. Pronounces not yet beloved, but to a crowd of journalists. Rehearsing.

In the morning, the Kurgan regional court overturned the guilty verdict for Chudnovets. Now it's up to the little things. Judicial representatives must bring an important document to the Tagil prison. The distance between Kurgan and Tagil is 500 kilometers. Butchers, and we are on his tail, were driven to the colony as if the devil were chasing us. And no one is chasing the representatives of Themis, so when they reach the dungeon from Chudnovets is not yet clear. Zhenya herself can't wait to meet not only with Andrei, but also with her son Leo, whom she has not seen for 4 months.

Myasnikov did not toil at the gates of the colony idle. I went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of red roses. And now rehearsing:

Zhenya, be my wife!

Journalists wipe their tears. Their male colleagues nod in embarrassment: " the man is handsome".

Then a telephone ringtone is heard in Myasnikov's pocket. She's calling! Andrey walks back and forth excitedly, hastily replies: “Understood. It's clear. Well bastards! It's clear". When the phone is put back in his pocket, he explains irritably:

Zhenya was given a call. But again nothing is clear. Forced in all services of the colony to sign a bypass sheet. And you also need to get confirmation from the accounting department that Zhenya does not have any debts to the colony. So what are her debts? If he doesn't sign today, he will be released tomorrow. And today, of course, all the accountants have already left.

"Komsomolskaya Pravda" continues, together with Andrei Myasnikov, to wait for the release of Evgenia Chudnovets.

Recall that in the morning Yevgenia Chudnovets was not allowed to attend the meeting. She remained in the women's colony in Nizhny Tagil. Representatives of the court planned to contact her by videoconferencing. But the Internet failed. Wi-Fi died a long time, so the most famous educator in Russia was waiting for her fate in complete obscurity in the four walls of the cell.

And at this time, 500 kilometers from the prison - in the Kurgan Regional Court, Evgenia's common-law husband Andrei Myasnikov was worried about two.

He seemed to be almost passing out from overexertion. To help a man cope with stress, I try to distract him with pleasant memories.

- Andrei, when did you meet Zhenya?

You won’t believe it, but when she was already under investigation, Myasnikov willingly joins in the conversation. - I then came to a friend's birthday in Kataysk. And it was at that party that I met Zhenya. She also came to congratulate the birthday boy. Forgive the banality, but it really was love at first sight. Some kind of spark flashed between us. We chatted in the corner all evening. And in parting, I invited her on a date.

- And how did you find out that Yevgeny was under investigation?

She herself told, - Myasnikov sighs. - The next day we went with her to walk around the city. And Zhenya said quietly: "You know, I'm in Kataysk under house arrest." She explained that she actually lives in Yekaterinburg, works as a teacher. But recently I reposted a video on VKontakte showing a boy being bullied. She wanted to help, she wrote: “Let's look into this monstrous story,” and they started a case against her. Since the boy was abused in a children's camp in Kataysk, the security forces decided to wait for Zhenya's trial in this city on his own recognizance. And Evgenia's grandmother lives here, so she stayed with her.

- Chudnovets then suspected how seriously this repost could backfire on her?

Of course not. We laughed at this stupid thing. They were sure that it would not reach the court - it would crumble even at the investigation stage. Not to mention such a serious sentence. And now, imagine, the day of the last meeting (we were already living together with Zhenya), and the judge calmly reads out like this: “Sentenced to 6 months in prison” ...

The common-law husband of Evgenia Chudnovets is waiting for her near the colony. Alexey BULATOV

In November last year, a teacher from Yekaterinburg, Yevgenia Chudnovets, ended up in a colony for reposting a video of bullying a child in a children's camp. Evgenia accompanied the “post” with an angry comment: “We urgently need to find fanatics!”, But the Kurgan servants of Themis stood their ground: “A citizen was distributing child pornography! Six months in prison!

The public, deputies of the State Duma, the press, including Komsomolskaya Pravda, more than once spoke out indignantly about this and demanded clarification from the Kurgan justice. There were no explanations. However, in December, the Kurgan Regional Court reviewed the case of Chudnovets and ... reduced her term of imprisonment by one month.

Then even the Supreme Court demanded to reconsider the Chudnovets case. And the long confusing story finally ended with a happy ending.


So. I don’t even know where to start and how to present all this correctly. Yes, we will talk about Evgeny Chudnovets. In order for the unjustly convicted woman to be released, we put all our efforts. Now I will not list anyone who took part in this, and everyone knows that. At the same time, none of us was looking for any special gratitude, did not crave laurels, did not interfere with this business with politics. In the cause of the liberation of Chudnovets, people of completely different political views and social levels finally united among themselves, people who occupy fairly high and powerful positions. Someone did everything publicly for Zhenya, someone, by virtue of their profession, not publicly. As a result of many efforts, phone calls, posts on Facebook, the efforts of journalists, we managed to bring this story to a seemingly logical end. Zhenya was acquitted and released. And the fact of this is indisputable, just as the fact that Zhenya, whatever she was, went to jail by mistake, for nothing. And really hurt.

I ask everyone to remember this, because in the future I will not return to this. But we did not know what Zhenya really was. To be honest, it didn't bother us at all. We were all worried only by the fact that the mother of a three-year-old child was imprisoned for reposting, for nothing. The essence of the matter itself, I think, no longer needs to be recounted. Our mistake was that everyone, we all thought we were saving the princess. That such a flower, such a sweet girl, will be released now, and we all, shedding tears of tenderness, will run to hug. But everything turned out to be much more complicated ...

Once again, further I will write a lot of unpleasant things, but all of you must understand that we saved a person regardless of personal assessments and judgments, from some kind of prejudice at the expense, etc. The fact that we managed to pull Zhenya out is a victory, and despite everything, which I will talk about further, we did everything right. Together. This is the first part of my story. But I still have a lot to tell you all. Why am I doing all this you will understand very soon. And I would never do this if it were not about the life and health of the child.

And so on. Then there was a complete extravaganza and a celebration in connection with the release of Zhenya. I watched her broadcast with Sobchak on Rain and breathed such freedom directly from the monitor screen, as if not only she, but all of us, had been released. There was euphoria. I listened to her every word. In each. And despite the fact that from time to time Zhenya said nonsense, I did not pay attention. It was euphoria. At the same time, we had an understanding that it was impossible for Zhenya to stay in Kataysk, and Myasnikov said that they had decided to move to Moscow. Because there is an idea of ​​a human rights project, a desire to help people and a great sense of justice. I believed.

It became clear that they had nowhere to live and I offered the guys the first time, a few days, until they rent an apartment, to live with us, in our country house. We just had a spare room. Andrei, her so-called civil husband, accepted our invitation. And on Saturday, March 11, they came to us. It consists of Zhenya Chudnovets, Andrey Myasnikov, Zhenya Lev's son and Zhenya's girlfriend Vita. We accommodated everyone comfortably and said that we would not be able to shelter them for a long time. They tried to help with the search for an apartment, and for many other things. Zhenya began arguing, snapping, behaving at our place not only like at home, but like at a market.

The products we bought were quickly running out in the refrigerator, Zhenya and Andrey went to the store exactly twice in 5 days and bought some nonsense there. They took whatever they wanted. The child behaved so strangely that we immediately realized that he was seriously ill. At three and a half years old, he does not speak, does not even speak an elementary set of words, only growls and clutches his head all the time. Attacks of laughter are constantly replaced by tears or aggression. He tried to break the tiles in our kitchen with a heavy object, swung at people with a hammer, tortured animals and pulled flowers out of pots. I wrote in two pots. And when we had dinner, he undressed to the goal and began to poop standing right in the middle of the living room. Do you think Zhenya cared about this? She reacted to these things only after the comments. Basically, Andrei rushed to save the situation. At the same time, the child throws himself into any puddle, dirt, takes off his shoes. socks, screaming. To the question to Zhenya what about the child, she replies that everything is fine, he is just small.

Leo has almost no things. Channel 1 bought all the clothes for him, as did Zhenya. He has 1 pair of socks. One toy. And then Channel 1 bought it. Such a big truck. Zhenya did not even consider it necessary to pick him up today. She feeds the child either fast food, or fried pasta, or fatty chicken in garlic. Yesterday he was given rotten milk. On the set of all the programs where Lyova was, a little hell began. Zhenya thought that the second set of socks should also buy 1 channel. The child walked barefoot in the mud, where people walk in street shoes. It's winter. Zhenya is now busy only with her own PR, broadcasts, press conferences. They throw off the child during the day in children's playrooms for several hours, where they do not even feed. As a result, it turns out that the boy is registered with a neurologist and right now he needs seven different doctors, but Zhenya is not aware of this and she is not even interested. After all, it is much more interesting to drag an unfortunate child through the canals and tell a sad story about the separation of an ideal mother from her little son. Kindergarten teachers.

Although she never worked as a teacher, not even a day. She has 11 grades of education. She was expelled from the 1st year of a pedagogical university for absenteeism. And in Yekaterinburg, dad is waiting for Lyova. Good. Real. The child has procedures, doctors, a correctional kindergarten there. But now this child, together with Zhenya and Andrey, spends the night in a small odnushka, which some distant relatives of Andrey gave to use. The apartment has no furniture at all. There is dirt. Speakers measuring a meter and a half, and fitness mats neatly stacked a meter and a half high. No fridge, no food, no bedding, nothing. But Zhenya and Andrey spent 35,000 rubles yesterday on clothes for a press conference in one of the most expensive districts of Moscow.
To be continued. That's not all.
