On Saturday, December 1, a rally in support of hundreds
of deceived farmers organised by the YABLOKO party will take
place in Mozhaisk, the Moscow region. YABLOKO leader Sergei
Mitrokhin will participate in the action.
In 1992, 827 workers of the farms Pavlishchevo and Klementevo
received documents confirming their right of collective share
on land. Each of the workers received 6.64 hectares of land.
In 2001, the companies management persuaded about 600 farmers
(mainly elderly people) to give their documents to the Registration
Chamber allegedly for mandatory registration of their rights.
According to the victims, the deputy head of the rural settlement
who had the right to notarize documents forged the powers
of attorney and transferred the land to the companies without
any pay to the farmers. Head of the Registration Chamber was
bribed and signed the deal.
In a few years the Pavlishchevo and Klementevo farms were
sold to entrepreneurs from Tatarstan. But the no pay for the
shares was given to the deceived shareholders.
Shareholders and YABLOKOs applications to the law enforcement
did not give any results.
The rally plans to work out legal solutions for returning
the shares to the farmers.
The rally will begin at 2 p.m.
Address: Mozhaisk, Komsomolskaya Square.
