Sergey Pugin Biography

In an interview with Uralpolit. RU he spoke about the reasons for such a decision, the history of his criminal case, life in the colony and plans for the future. In November, the Kurgan City Court recognized Sergei Pugin, the ex-head of the Shadrinsky district of Vladimir Osokin and his deputy Vyacheslav Roznin guilty of abuse of powers, and Pugin is also in a bribe in the form of a fence and shifer for a giving cost of 98 thousand from the head of Multiplast Mikhail Tretyakov.

According to the investigation, in the years Pugin in conspiracy with Osokin and Rozelin organized the manufacture, signing and payment of fictitious acts of work performed in the villages of Verkhosino and Maltsevo in favor of LLC Multiplast. Roznin fully pleaded guilty, Osokin said that he was deceived by Tretyakov, and Pugin in the last word stated that he had not committed any crimes and his business was "explained by a political order and information on personal accounts." The Kurgan Regional Court retrained the convicts of the charges from the article “Abuse of authority” to the article “Excess of authority”.

As a result, Sergey Pugin was punished in the form of imprisonment for a period of 7 years, a fine of 1.9 million rubles and deprivation of the right to occupy positions in the civil service and in local authorities for five years. In May of this year, the court granted his request for parole. Sergey Vladimirovich, you filed a cassation appeal against the conviction, already serving the sentence.

What do you want to achieve? I have been released on parole, that is, I have three more years of punishment. Now I must comply with certain requirements - to register in the inspection, which I have already done, and regularly celebrate. The main thing is that I'm free. The verdict has already appealed to the seventh cassation court. The complaint is accepted for production.

My position is from the beginning to the end of my three -year process - I did not do what I was convicted for. If I can’t explain to myself what misconduct I am sitting for, then how can I come to terms with what is prescribed in the verdict? What do you mean? The prosecution and verdict are built on the testimony of the customer and contractor of municipal contracts, which were accused of fraud.

According to the text of the sentence, I was convicted of abuse and abuse of authority. At the same time, the verdict does not indicate what kind of my specific actions within the framework of my powers or beyond the framework of these powers have led to the occurrence of the consequences. There is not a word about what regulatory document I violated. My motives, intent are not indicated.

If the prosecution at least stated that I wanted to get to the governor, then this is not in the sentence. Funny: the accusation claimed that I wanted to get a bonus and did not want to get a penalty. The usual desire to work for each official was well declared a criminal motive. And in court this was not even confirmed, although we called the governor to court, but the judge refused.

Do you understand the history of your criminal case? Earlier in an interview with UP, you said that you know his customer. Those people who believe that they control or “own” the Kurgan region were extremely interested in denigrating the former, leaving team of managers. The second is personal hostility. She did not arise out of the blue. Both earlier and for six months, when I worked in the regional government, already under the new leadership, I did what before, and did just as well.

But I never hid my point of view, said what I consider necessary. And I did not like it much. That's how it all began. Are there hints of such a resolution of events? From the moment of my departure from the regional government, regulatory authorities have been looking for, but did not find reasons for criminal prosecution. When I had searches at the end of December, I was extremely surprised by such a development of events, but I was assured that "this is a common practice, there are no special complaints about you." But by that time I already knew what claims to me, who present them and why.

And he had no illusions. However, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. I never took bribes, did not exceed the powers, so I petitioned for verification both me and the people who gave me testimony on the Polygraph. But the investigator said that this would not, he has the right to evaluate these testimonies by his own judgment. Previously, there were also pre -investigation checks, but they did not end with anything.

And this ended with the initiation of five criminal cases of the period. But if you knew that I had committed these crimes at that time, then why wasn't it punished up to a year? At the same time, the prosecution was built on the testimony of the previously convicted who received 10 years for fraud, and another person who helped him in this. What did you encounter during the investigation and trial?

At all stages, they do not allow to defend themselves. We do not consider the petitions of illegal initiation of criminal cases, they tell me. I suggest: let's check the readings on the polygraph? Answer: We will not. Let's check the validity and legality of conducting operational-search measures? Why is their order violated?They answer us: these are your arguments, you will voice them in court.

I voice them in court, the court declares: they will be evaluated in the deliberative room. I read the verdict - there is no assessment. And this is only a small part. In my opinion, the bias is evident. Or more. In the process, the prosecutor announced the testimony of 29 witnesses of the prosecution out of 30, they given by the investigation, because their words in the courtroom, according to the prosecution, significantly contradicted the said to the investigator.

That is, in fact, the verdict was built on substantially conflicting evidence, how do you evaluate the work of your lawyers? I have good lawyers, and the best lawyer for me is myself. The first are professionals in the process, and I, in turn, owned more information in essence and the circumstances of the case. For two years in jail, I managed to study criminal law well, I know it thoroughly.

So lawyers and I effectively complement each other. How did you serve your sentence? Have you changed your life in a colony? Taught something? What thoughts did you go free? He served the sentence in the Sverdlovsk IR for former law enforcement officials, because at the beginning of his career he worked in the internal affairs bodies. Experience with people helps to find a common language in the colony.

With those with whom you are sitting, and with those who guard you. There, as in any system, there are rules. If you comply with these rules, then you live to the extent that this system provides.

And if you try to change something, then I must justify it. In my case, the time in the colony passed quite calmly and without any shocks. The most difficult thing is the lack of the opportunity to personally communicate with the family, with relatives, with friends. My family heroically passed these three years, despite the most severe psychological pressure.

The inner feeling of the world order that was. It was necessary to build a new life, taking into account the fact that I am not nearby. I am grateful to my wife, children, mom with dad, brothers, all relatives who were with me for three years. Friends are a special category, sincere words of gratitude to them. It was nice to receive letters and greetings from those people from whom I did not expect.

But knowing that I always lived honestly, these people, not embarrassed and not afraid, supported me. It helped me a lot. How did you communicate with the outside world? In a pre -trial detention center, he talked with all letters. There was already a phone in the camp. Has the attitude of the people with whom you worked before the trial have changed, after leaving the colony?

I see this by phone calls and on the meetings that take place. How is your health, physical condition? Everything is fine. At the time of arrest, I could not pull up once. Now I am pulling myself up once for training - 10 to 10, I can squeeze out once - 10 approaches 40 times. I can say that health is in order. Many of our readers, I know, are interested in your plans. Some directly ask: are you going to leave the Kurgan region?
