An independent linguistic examination carried out in the criminal case of local Novosibirsk City Council deputy Khelga Pirogova has not found any remarks “pertaining to activities of Russia’s Armed Forces (Russian servicemen) and expressing a negative view of their actions” in her words, Pirogova herself writes on her Facebook page.
“For any sane people, the results are obvious, there was no discreditation. I will remind everyone that aside from pressuring me to leave the country these parasites also conducted searches at my relatives’, went through two flats, showed up at the flat and country house of my husband’s parents,” Pirogova says.
According to the deputy, the investigation has sent the case materials for a re-examination. “We will see how pliable the linguists will be the second time around. Considering that the case went to Moscow, I won’t be surprised if they find some way out, I’m just curious to see how they do it,” she adds.
