The law does not protect rights in Abkhazia Russian

Закон не защищает в Абхазии права русских

What to do, who to ask for help and protection, if You are a man, You broke your legs, while you fought for life, You have taken away Your garden that You’ve been raising for 43 years, if Your eyes chopped Apple, so painstakingly grown on the rocks. What to do if Your only daughter has taken a single housing – an apartment, after 20 years of ownership, in which everything is hand made. And finally, what to do if you burned Your bookstore along with the icons and books written by You and published in Abkhazia. How to live, if everything You loved and lived, was destroyed. If the labor of generations of Your family has brazenly taken away by strangers. These people come to Your house, call You a “Russian dog”, promise to kill Your family, burn Your house. And You are bedridden and can’t get up, can’t protect themselves and their families.

What can I do, Alekseeva Natalia, if my father is 87 years old, he broke his leg, he is bedridden, and is between life and death. And at this point I was summoned to court, I want to take an apartment, to make actually homeless in his old age. What will You choose? What is more important – the life of the father or the hearing? For me there is nothing more important than the lives of the native and close person – my father who raised me alone, without a mother and devoted her life for me.

Our family comes from Adygea. My grandfather, guard Cossack Beketov Daniel A., by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR from may 1, 1944 was awarded the medal “For defense of Caucasus for participation in the heroic defense of Caucasus, medal awarded personally by the Commissar of the Abkhaz ASSR. Grandfather declared gratitude for the excellent fighting – he came to Brno and took part in its capture on 26 April 1945. Grandfather built Gumista bridge, in the family archives preserved the original document from 1938 with the signature of the head of the construction. Built roads, tunnels, complex new Athos cave.

My father, Beketov Alexei Danilovich, was awarded the medal “For valiant labor in the great Patriotic War of 1941-1945”. A teenager during the war, he left school and worked instead of his father. In the future, working on Shonibare, he organized and led the Russian resistance group Georgian extremism. Have arranged their hands the Church of the Intercession in New Athos, 10 years was the head of the community, bury the dead in 1992-1993 volunteers during the Patriotic war of people of Abkhazia, on his money saved from starvation the population. Written and published in Sukhum two books about temples of Abkhazia. Preserved newspaper articles, correspondence with famous people, where he stated the rights of Abkhazians to their own state and language, on the Abkhaz Church. In this struggle for the independence of Abkhazia lost a lot of real heroes killed his friend and colleague Yuri Nikolaevich Voronov. 10 days before death he warned that father is in danger, and he did not save. All these sacrifices were made for independence, building a free and just society Abkhazia, isn’t it?

In 1992 my father took me away with young children in New Athos from the war in Transnistria, on the eve of the war in Abkhazia. It just so happened that escaped from one war, we got to another. Father at that time was an elder in the Church and approached his friend, a local in the age of Georgian nationality, with a request to look after his own flat, as he feared for her safety, as he will have daughters in Leningrad, and if he can’t get back to issue in the future for me, leaving my father power of attorney. And so it happened, a friend of his father had not returned, and the father has issued an apartment for me with all the necessary registrations with the notary and BTI. I became the owner of the apartment, which was also necessary and the father, as his house, 1954 year built, was already quite old and, moreover, without facilities, like all the houses of that period.

In the apartment we made repairs, replaced Windows, floors, wiring, plumbing, lay tile, acquired the necessary household appliances and furniture, installed water heaters, air conditioning, balcony, wrought iron bars. Connected the phone, installed the new meter. In General, for 20 years, gradually, decorated the place for housing. Together with his son helped his father, worked on his land, repaired the house. We worked hard, cared about each other, and there were no signs of trouble.

In 2013, father called the head of administration of New Athos Felix Dautia Tarasovich, and said it filed the lawsuit on recognition of the donation contract one-bedroom apartments null and void.” The reason was the statement of the ex-wife of the father – Putintseva Evgenia Alexeyevna, who demanded to take my apartment and give the apartment to her niece, the wife of the deceased during the war. As in the days of Stalin and Beria – “hit where it should, and the space available. In those terrible years of the brother of my father was persecuted denounced for refusing to go to the rally, dedicated to Stalin. There is a document of the General Prosecutor’s office of Georgia on his rehabilitation. And here again, the denunciations, and in Abkhazia! Amazed, that no one condemned this act, and the head of Administration has filed a lawsuit against one of the oldest residents of the city – for my father. My comfortable apartment where I live, which was the owner which I am, tried to give the “right” people. The court rejected the city administration as the improper claimant, not entitled to treatment of such claim. But this was only the beginning.

14 may 2013 I flew to Moscow for the funeral of his mother. The next day in the evening at the house of his father came Putintseva, E. A., her nephews pachulia, the husband of the niece Tarkil. They began to shout, to threaten to blow up our home, burn us with the house, dad wanted to leave, he became ill, but they pounced on him, held 85-year-old. My son, heard the screams, went down into the courtyard and saw that his grandfather became ill, took out the phone wanted to call an ambulance and the police, but he also attacked and took the phone. They gave me an ultimatum – my apartment they take, and if we’re men, we’ll be killed. Yes, that is exactly what was said. The next day the son went into the apartment and saw that it was replaced by a door. After returning from Moscow, I asked the Prosecutor about the burglary of my apartment, the penetration into her and the death threats. Anyone to justice are not attracted, but the apartment was returned to me. In the office of the Head of administration of Novy Afon, we were given the keys to the new front door, thus we were forced to pay 12 thousand rubles Putintseva, E. A., installed in the door.

Then there were the courts, now on the claim Putintseva, E. A., “on recognition void the contract of donation of a one-room apartment,” which the court also found improper the plaintiff. We then were able to defend their rights because the courts were still truly independent, and decisions were made on the basis of our original documents according to the law.

A month after the last court, held at the Presidium of the Supreme Court on March 27, 2015. my father was hit by a car. In this accident many mysteries. Out of the blue, on a traffic-free square, the car did not go forward but went in reverse, after the departing man. After the injuries my father, according to statistics, survive 10 percent of people his age, I was warned about this doctor. I fought for his life for days sat at his bed – alone. I had no one to replace, there is no one to help. Screams, groans, death rattles, heart attacks my father that I had to go through.

And in this difficult time received a notice from the Court of the Gudauta district. Putintseva, E. A. filed another claim for recognition of the right of ownership of the apartment in the prescription”. Now stated that the apartment is purchased Putintseva, E. A., she has owned it, paid all fees, repaired, and I was not interested in his property and did not live there. During this period of litigation, I could not leave a dying father in a helpless position, so I wrote an application for granting me time to prepare for trial, to search for a lawyer. But the judge Argun Boris Sabitovich did not take this into account. As a result, I was unable to obtain qualified legal assistance and are unable to prepare adequately for trial, as already many days did not sleep, and could hardly stand on his feet. Prior to this I spent 2 years participated in the trial, and everything was always correct and professionally, but the fact that I had to see and hear this time, you can see, perhaps, only in a nightmare.

The witnesses of the plaintiff in one voice said that she lived in my apartment like his own, “all my life”, and this despite the fact that the plaintiff already owns the right of ownership of two apartments in the same house and apartment in the Russian Federation. The judge allowed himself to admire the plaintiff, saying that I and my father are “ungrateful people” that the plaintiff “so much made for us. My request to involve in the process of my father the judge refused, saying that my father is crazy and he will not interview. Certificate from psychoneurological dispensary about the sanity of my father, the judge ignored. At me has been pressure, both from the witnesses of the plaintiff and the judge. The witnesses of the plaintiff, her relatives threatened me with death, by killing my son. When I asked to place on record these threats, the judge ordered the court reporter: “don’t write!”. When I asked to be put on record my objections to the actions of the judge and the court clerk started to take minutes on my objection, the judge jumped up and snatched the pen from the Secretary, said, “Here I decide what to write!”, then before the end of the hearing, the Secretary just sat there, not taking the Protocol. In court I was intimidated, nasmichael me, insulted me and my father. All petitions for disqualification of judge B. Z. Argun left unattended. Treated like that one of the witnesses broke down and said she is against what is happening in court, what we have in Abkhazia so people do not do that it is against the fact that I robbed the apartment that it is unfair, and left the courtroom. My motion to postpone the hearing because I feel bad, was rejected. Bullying me and then continued. Gudauta district court on 5 June 2015. made a decision without my participation, I just have not been able to attend since my father was in great pain, and could not be left alone, as reported by the court. But, nevertheless, the court ignored my absence for a valid reason and the Name of the Republic of Abkhazia, answered to the claim Putintseva, E. A., depriving me of the rights of ownership of the apartment. The judges of the Republic of Abkhazia is a huge responsibility, because they administered justice in the name of Our state, and are obliged to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. Me unbearable pain, hurt and ashamed, so is lawlessness.

After the end of the trial within the statutory period with the trial record to see did not give me. The decision of the court is also not given, said not ready, just passing the time. I received the decision of the court August 20, 2015, after two and a half months after adoption, and after appeal to the Supreme Court against the judge Argun B. Z. And in two days employees of criminal investigation Department of the city of New Athos demanded my keys to my apartment. It turns out that even before the court decision comes into legal force and my apartment was twice reissued. I appealed to the Prosecutor of the Gudauta district on the illegal re-registration of my apartment and the prosecution witnesses – relatives, Putintseva, E. A., for perjury in court. But no reaction followed. The record of the trial, I never saw. The testimony of the witnesses, confirming my long possession of the apartment, my original documents to the apartment, receipts, checks – everything was ignored by the court. But, nevertheless, I have accepted the appeal, despite the fact that the deadline for appeal was missed through the fault of the court, and I appealed to court with the statement for restoration of the missed deadline. But as I explained to the judge Argun B. Z. made the decision, he left the place in magazine of registration of incoming correspondence and therefore did not believe that I missed the deadline, the decision has not entered into legal force, so I took the appeal and recorded retrospectively.

My hopes for a fair hearing in the Cassation Board on civil cases, and the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Abkhazia, unfortunately, is also not justified. April 29, 2016, the Presidium of the Supreme Court issued a final decision, recognizing the right of ownership of the apartment for Putintseva, E. A., thereby dismissing my Supervisory review. In judicial session of Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Abkhazia I counsel proved the absurdity of the attacks on my apartment Putintseva, E. A., and presented to the court written evidence of your accommodation, the use and possession of the apartment, also putting on a gross procedural violations of civil law committed by the court of first instance. But Themis, in addition to the blindfolds, and even his ears, my arguments were not heard.

So, if Your apartment like other people, You are Russian by nationality, and You have no loud-mouthed relatives or influential patrons that You will pick it up. Because no protection people are not the titular nation of Abkhazia does not exist.

My apartment had already seized other people’s apartments by force, intimidating the owners. People whose parents were in prison for murder, while my family worked for the benefit of Abkhazia. These people go to Russia, buy a house there, many of which are pensions, but they never in Russia not lived, never worked. They took in a difficult time, helped to survive and supported. My countrymen, no one breaking into the apartment, do not call a dog, don’t ask what they doing in Russia.

But what cost to us? – “We You are one, and we will do with you whatever we want”.

My father said, “I saw threw the bell the new Athos monastery, I met with the Victory of my father, was at present grave of Nestor Lakoba, I fought for the freedom of Abkhazia, and now I saw lawlessness and his lawlessness”.

In tears we met the Bright holiday of Easter, prayed, burnt faces.

I’m not going to share the Immortal regiment suffered no portrait of my grandfather – the Cossack guard, awarded for defense of the Caucasus military Commissar of Abkhazia. I think my grandfather would not want to be among people who watch indifferently as mocking his family.

 

Alekseeva Natalia Alekseevna, a resident of New Athos, a citizen of the Republic of Abkhazia and the Russian Federation.
