Boris Vladimirovich Stomakhin (Russian: Борис Владимирович Стомахин), (born August 24, 1974, Moscow), is a Russian politician, journalist, and dissident.
Boris Stomakhin is editor of newspaper "Radikalnaya Politika" since 2000 and leader of "Revolutionary Union" organization since 1999. He was also one of most active participants of Chechen internet newspaper Kavkaz Center.
He is a leader of "Movement for Independence of Chechnya". Other members of this organization are Pavel Cantora, Dmitry Tarasov, Ludmila Evstifeeva, and Pavel Luzakov.
Stomakhin organized numerous demonstrations against the war in Chechya and has been prosecuted by Russian authorities on many occasions. He was arrested on March 21 2006 in Moscow. During this arrest he fell down from the fourth floor of his building (it was said that he tried to escape). His spine and bones were broken. According to Stomakhin's lawyer Alexei Golubev, "He has been kept in a cell all this time, despite the fact that he is practically paralyzed."
He was sentenced to five years of prison for "promoting hatred", because he claimed that modern Russia is a totalitarian state and therefore must be destroyed, criticized Russians as a "nation of occupiers", and compared President Vladimir Putin to Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic. With regard to killing of Aslan Maskhadov by FSB forces, he said that Chechen rebels should attack Russians by all available means including nuclear weapons..
Human rights activists Svetlana Gannushkina, Valeria Novodvorskaya, and other independent observers believe that Stomakhin only exercised his right of free speech and did nothing violent, and therefore he is a peaceful political dissident prosecuted by authorities .
