\u201cMoscow has responded to the planned special tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine with one of its own. Who sits on it says more about its creator than any verdict it could ever issue!\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In mid-May, thirty-six states and the European Union officially confirmed their intention to participate in establishing a special tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, which is set to begin operating in The Hague next year. The Kremlin has long since found its own answer. It bears the name International Public Tribunal for the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis and Their Accomplices and operates under the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. Seventy-two people belong to it. Among them are numerous \u201cfake\u201d foreigners who have long lived in Russia, along with convicted offenders and actual neo-Nazis. Every six months, this tribunal publishes reports about the alleged \u201catrocities\u201d of the Ukrainian armed forces, and the so-called \u201cwaiters\u201d appear as \u201cwitnesses,\u201d those people who refused evacuation and eagerly waited for Russian tanks. The project is overseen by employees of the Presidential Administration from the propaganda department and by representatives of the intelligence services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its structure alone reveals its real function. By its nature, a court presumes that the judgment follows the process. Here it is the reverse. The verdict exists before the first witness is called, and everything afterward serves only to create the appearance of procedure. If someone wants to accuse the world of refusing to see while finding no world that agrees, all that remains is to create a world of their own. That is exactly what is happening here, one person at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tribunal was founded on March 1, 2022, four days after the beginning of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. The idea is attributed to the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin. A source in the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation reported that \u201cpeople were called in a rush and presented with a done deal, many do not even know they were included in the tribunal.\u201d Chairman became Maxim Grigoryev, a native of Leningrad and a close acquaintance of Bastrykin. In the early 2000s he worked in election technology in Saint Petersburg, and after moving to Moscow he took over leadership of the Foundation for the Study of Democracy Problems, which receives multimillion-ruble funding from the Russian state budget. For a series of his own analytical broadcasts about the so-called special military operation under the title The Last Word Is Ours!, Grigoryev received 8,780,680 rubles in 2022, although no trace of these analytical programs could be found. Grigoryev is the author of propaganda works such as Antimaidan, White Helmets: Accomplices of Terrorists and Sources of Disinformation, Crimes of the US-Led Coalition in Syria, History of Lithuania, and Ukrainian Crimes Against Humanity. <\/strong>der Russischen F\u00f6deration berichtete, man habe \u201edie Leute in aller Eile angerufen und vor vollendete Tatsachen gestellt, viele wissen nicht einmal, dass sie in das Tribunal aufgenommen wurden\u201c. Zum Vorsitzenden wurde der geb\u00fcrtige Leningrader und gute Bekannte Bastrykins, Maxim Grigorjew, bestimmt. In den fr\u00fchen zweitausender Jahren befasste er sich in Sankt Petersburg mit Wahlkampftechnik, und nach seinem Umzug nach Moskau \u00fcbernahm er die Leitung der Stiftung zur Erforschung von Demokratieproblemen, die millionenschwere Zuwendungen aus dem russischen Haushalt erh\u00e4lt. Allein f\u00fcr eine Reihe eigener analytischer Sendungen \u00fcber die sogenannte milit\u00e4rische Spezialoperation mit dem Titel \u201eDas letzte Wort haben wir!\u201c erhielt Grigorjew im Jahr 2022 die Summe von 8.780.680 Rubel, wobei es nicht gelang, irgendeine Spur dieser analytischen Sendungen aufzufinden. Grigorjew ist Verfasser von Propagandaschriften wie \u201eAntimaidan\u201c, \u201eWei\u00dfe Helme: Helfershelfer von Terroristen und Quellen der Desinformation\u201c, \u201eDie Verbrechen der von den USA gef\u00fchrten Koalition in Syrien\u201c, \u201eGeschichte Litauens\u201c und \u201eUkrainische Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the supposed civil representative Grigoryev completed assault training and a one-month advanced course at the General Staff Academy of the Russian Federation and then traveled to occupied territories of Ukraine under the pretense of being a journalist in order to collect evidence of the \u201ccrimes\u201d of the Kyiv regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a source in the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, Grigoryev is in reality more of a public face, while the actual work is done by his longtime associate and director of the Institute for the Analysis of Neo-Nazi and Extremist Ideologies, Denis Teleshev. Teleshev met Grigoryev during an election campaign in Saint Petersburg and has followed him ever since. He does not like to speak about his youth because he is listed by the Interior Ministry due to robbery charges. In 1997 he attacked a woman with a knife and stole a tape recorder and bags from her. The judge took pity on the nineteen-year-old offender and sentenced him to three years suspended with a two-year probation period. The \u201crobber\u201d Teleshev now leads an entire network of volunteers who collect the desired testimony in occupied territories of Ukraine. Most of these witness statements about alleged atrocities by the Ukrainian armed forces are highly questionable because they were recorded from the words of the \u201cwaiters,\u201d those people who refused evacuation. As a rule, these statements are unsupported and contradict known facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tribunal\u2019s supervisor from the Russian Foreign Ministry became Rodion Miroshnik, the former press secretary of the fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych. A special ambassadorial post was created specifically for him dealing with crimes of the Kyiv regime. In interviews, diplomat Miroshnik refers to his fellow countrymen as \u201cBanderites\u201d and claims that behind closed doors the West admits that \u201cthe truth is on Russia\u2019s side, but politics matters more. And Ukraine shells civilians for donations.\u201d In Ukraine, Miroshnik is wanted under several articles of the criminal code, including participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, and faces up to fifteen years in prison. Despite his status as a state official, Miroshnik promotes at every opportunity two funds collecting private donations from Russians, We Help Our Own and the Fund to Support Novorossiya. His wife Olga works for the television channel R1, which produces \u201cpatriotic\u201d content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
