Julia Tsvetkova biography

The artist was convinced by the video, the artist was convinced: “To do it illegally, and we tried for a very long time to ensure to find the person who did this. We closed and opened the case several times. We found the person about whom they said:“ He shot and laid it out. ”And we went to the civilian court to [published video], moral compensation wanted to get from them.” The foreign agency was added from above, ”the activist summarizes.

In fact, the court admitted that it is possible to publish the video. And this is terrible from a legal point of view.” In addition, Tsvetkov draws attention, in the process of considering their claim, the court in the civil case appealed to the criminal court and requested from there - and received - documents. Speaking on facts, my life is completely destroyed.

This is not a metaphor, this is a reality. All the people who were near and at the beginning of the criminal, and for some time during the criminal, ceased to communicate with me. Now this is complete isolation. I have a lot of various kinds of stigma, ”the activist says. And this is not about fear - that, oh Lord, I'm afraid of prison. This is about the endless stream of lawlessness, humiliation, people who go away, people who sometimes do very unethical things.

This is not the experience from which you can get out, shake off and go further. This shoves all his life. "For the whole Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Tsvetkova claims, there is one place where she could work. She had to quit from there immediately, when it became known about recognizing her" foreign agent "-it was too dangerous for the employer. It was house arrest for four months, and then an endless extension of the case.

And this is very terrible." And when they say to me every time “This is a month, this is three months, well, six months”, it is impossible to make plans. Which employer will take a person who will say: “Well, in a month they will most likely imprison me, but let's”? The criminal court itself stretches slowly. Tsvetkova explains this by “regional specifics”: “We, no matter how sad it is, just lacks judges, there are not enough court rooms, for example, cabinets for a VKS - video communication.

We tried to ensure that we were appointed a lot of meetings in a row, but the court cannot. They can once a month. "To Khabarovsk from seven to nine o’clock in the summer, depending on what you are flying, and then before seven hours on the highway to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. And then the court goes on vacation, we get a hole in a month and a half." Plus, all the wrapped odions around.

There are fewer official restrictions than unofficial. "They whisper in secret about how they are terribly worried and generally." Most of the activists left, someone fell under business - in Khabarovsk they judge the artist Maxim Smolnikov on charges of publicly justifying terrorism. "There was not, for example, a Covid in the info -scale on a scale as he was before the Urals.

People survive here." I was accidentally at the parade on May 9 with us, I can’t say that I see the mood of cheers-patriotism here. Rather, the leitmotif for the region is depression, ”Tsvetkova emphasizes. It is very difficult with work, with medicine. The events related to the special operation affect, but here they dissolve in this all.” The petition in support of Tsvetkova has collected more than thousands of signatures.

As the poetess and activist Daria Serenko noted, this is more than the inhabitants of the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. However, now, says the artist, most of the people who supported her at first, for various reasons, disappeared from the horizon. People get tired of repetition, and I understand them perfectly. The matter is so protected, so incomprehensible - if I could, I would come out of it myself.

I perfectly understand everyone who got sick, who left and who began to engage in their lives. "No, it affects the emotional plan. It affects the political plan, because all our beautiful organs see that there was one amount of support, then it began to contract, and now it consists of one member of my family." Very boring. For almost three years, the matter was only aggravated, there are almost no victories.

And this is hard for people. "For the artist, world support was a very long support, she says:" Yes, here I am the enemy of the people, in the region, in the city, but there really were a lot of people who were involved in the process, they were worried. " After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she says, everything has changed: "And the state that you are at the same time the enemy of your country and the enemy of the whole world is an amazing state."
