The interrogation and a court.


Three months after our arrest was the first  questioning. The investigation was carried out at all times within the walls of the gendarmerie torture chamber for those materials that were found during the arrest. For interrogation arrived Kritsky colonel of gendarmes, accompanied by a prosecutor. As established by the time all the People of the tradition we have shied away from any kind has been evidence in the interrogations, and therefore all the 24 people arrested at the convention, refused to go to the office for questioning. We immediately conspired with the neighboring cameras on the coordinated behavior during interrogation, and then there was a whole comedy that deserves to be noted it. In prison, was caused by a company of soldiers from the prison guards, and two of us, accompanied by 4 soldiers, pushing our guns were taken in for questioning. But there we were absolutely dumb and deaf. "What's your name? Where from? "- Asked the colonel of gendarmes. In response to a dead silence. "You do not want to answer, to testify? Sign the protocol "- said the prosecutor. The answer is the same silence. So we are 24 people defiled during the interrogation.

 Only the military discipline of the soldiers held back laughter, and they wondered how we could so defiantly and with such a travesty to keep yourself in front of such a high command. But Colonel Kritsky, a leading consequence, we avenged. He kept us in prison on remand for over a year, until the trial. Under the law required that before the trial, we were introduced to the material consequences for the groups we drove to the courthouse. Materials were swollen by the time many volumes by rubbish. For example, sewn to the case was 70 minutes of searches for different Timofeyev, my surname, because the arrest had been taken away from my student card of St. Petersburg University, and among them are two protocols for searches namesakes gendarmes. Petersburg secret police not only tried, but even overdone. For the case had been sewn on letters and memos delivered to the warden for the establishment of these scripts. The Congress lasted three days, and I also sekretarstvoval at the congress. With the appointment of the court appeared to us not only the prospect of change in our position. The prosecution presented the 126 and 102 st. Penal Code, to participate in a criminal association. According to these articles relied Link to settle in places not so remote or hard labor up to 20 years. We had a defender Marc B. Shapiro, and came from St. Petersburg State Duma deputy Pereverzev. On the first day of trial we have openly declared that we are socialists and revolutionaries, the king's court did not recognize, and from any participation in the court refuse.

Page  72 of my diary is below.

My statement at the trial, which is written for all of us, and agreed, said: "I, Adrian F. Timofeev, a member of the Socialist Revolutionaries, from any participation in the court refused. Down with autocracy. Long live the armed uprising. " Only one of us on behalf of the Congress said that Gramachevsky and someone else (family flew out of memory), arrested on the street, but not at the convention, drawn incorrectly. Advocates are our excelled to prove the incorrectness of us 126 and 102 st. As no action against the government, said incriminated articles, the prosecution has not been proved and not proved.



                                               Lukjanovskaya prison in Kiev now (2002).

 The trial lasted 3 - 4 days with our silence. Two of those arrested in the yard, not the Congress, in our application was justified, as we all links in place to settle and the prison of 6 to 20 years were given three years of the fortress. There is no logic in that sentence I did not understand and now I do not understand. How can a sentence of 20 years hard labor to bring to the fortress and, moreover, less than half (1/2 of 6, as is listed in the judgment). Obviously, this confusion has affected the verdict of the authorities after the October Manifesto, the fear of revolution, in spite of the Stolypin reaction had set, and the game is to comply with the apparent legality. The sentence was to annul our lawyers, and many have been released to the approval of a higher court on bail in 1000 rubles...
