Boris Vladimirovich Stomakhin (Russian: Борис Владимирович Стомахин), (born August 24, 1974, Moscow), is a Russian radical politician, former editor of Samizdat periodicals, and opposition figure.
Samizdat activities
Boris Stomakhin was an editor of monthly newspaper "Radikalnaya Politika" since 2000. Besides, he contributed numerous materials to Kavkaz Center, the Islamic internet agency that promotes independence of Chechnya and is maintained by Chechen rebels. He also issued a number of Samizdat periodicals.
Political career
Stomakhin organized numerous meetings against wars in Chechnya and criticized Russian government. He claimed that modern Russia is a totalitarian state and therefore must be destroyed, called Russians a "nation of occupiers", and compared President Vladimir Putin to Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic.
Stomakhin supported terrorist acts commited by Chechen terrorists Shamil Basaev and Salman Raduev and called everyone to follow them.
He also was a leader of marginal political group "Revolutionary Contact Association" (RCA). Other members of this organization are Pavel Kantor, Dmitry Tarasov, Ludmila Evstifeeva, and Pavel Luzakov.
Stomakhin was accused of inciting hatred by his articles about the Chechen conflict. A case against him was opened in December 2003. His home was raided in April 2004 and his computers and books were confiscated. Stomakhin was interrogated. According to the unknown source in Human Rights House, prosecutors planned to declare him mentally ill and send him for involuntary treatment to Moscow Serbsky Institute where Pyotr Grigorenko and Viktor Nekipelov were treated in the past. Such actions have been prevented by the Independent Psychiatric Association of Russia that had conducted an independent unofficial expertise . Involuntary Psychiatric expertise at Moscow Serbsky Institute also found that Stomakhin is competent for the trail. Stomakhin escaped to the Ukraine seeking political asylum status, which was eventually denied.
Arrest and Trial
Having returned to Moscow, Stomakhin was arrested on March 21 2006. It was reported that he tried to escape again during his arrest and fell down from the fourth floor of his building. 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." Psychiatric expertise found that Stomakhin is competent for the trail.
He was sentenced to five years of prison for igniting religious and national hatred, promoting violent change of constitutional regime, defamatory statements, and extremist activities, according to the official court sentence. Opposition figures like human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina and politician Valeria Novodvorskaya argued that Stomakhin has only exercised his right of free speech and did nothing violent, and therefore he is a peaceful political dissident prosecuted by authorities . Opposition journalist Vladimir Abarinov decsribes this story as crude falsification where Stomakhin was accused of publishing an article against Russian Orthodox Church that was actually written by a different person.
Further political activity
Following the death of the Aslan Maskhdov, Stomakhin published the article "Death to Russia" .
This article contained the following passages signed personally by Stomakhin: "Kill, Kill, Kill! To flood all Russia with blood, to not give a quarter to anyone, to try to make at least one atomic explosion on the territory of Russian Federation -- this is like the programm of radical Resistance should be, and russian's, and chechen's, and anyone's! Let the russians, according to their deserts, reap as they has sown".
"Russians should be killed, and only killed, for there is no one among them who is normal, intelligent, or who can be talked with and for understanding of whom we could rely. Harsh collective responsibility of all russians should be introduced, of all loyal Russian citizens for the actions of the government elected by them -- for the genocide, executions, ordeals, trade with corpses... From that moment there sould be no division of killers on combatant and non-combatant, wilful or forced"..
