STATEMENT

I hereby inform you that during the course of the preliminary investigation, despite the knowingly false assertions made in this court by the supervising prosecutor, despite the knowingly false decision of the Ingodinsky District Court (of judge L.V. Naryshkina), I was completely deprived of the right prescribed by Art.47 (4.1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, – to know what I have been charged with.
