ОХУ-ын шүүхээс хоол судлаач, нийтлэлч Павел Сюткинийг Оросын зэвсэгт хүчний талаар худал мэдээлэл тараасан хэргээр буруутгаж, зургаан жилийн хорих ял оноолоо.
Москвагийн Зюзинскийн дүүргийн шүүх Павел Сюткинийг Украйны Буча хотод энгийн иргэдийн эсрэг үйлдсэн гэх хэргийн талаар Telegram сувгаар мэдээлэл түгээснийх нь төлөө ийнхүү яллажээ. Прокурорууд түүнд найман жилийн хорих ял оноохыг шаардаж байсан бөгөөд шүүхээс хорих ялаас гадна түүнийг дөрвөн жилийн хугацаанд цахим хуудас удирдах эрхгүй болгох шийдвэр гаргасан байна. Сюткиний өмгөөлөгч Е.Григорьева шүүхийн энэхүү шийдвэрийг эсэргүүцэж, давж заалдахаар төлөвлөж байгаагаа мэдэгджээ.
Хаалттай горимоор явагдсан шүүх хурлын үеэр Сюткин өөрийн үйлдлийг иргэний нийгмийг сэргээхэд чиглэсэн ажил гэж үзэж байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн байна. Тэрээр өнгөрсөн оны аравдугаар сард баривчлагдаж, ОХУ-ын Санхүүгийн хяналтын албанаас гаргасан “террорист болон экстремист” этгээдүүдийн жагсаалтад орсноор банкны дансууд нь царцсан юм.
Тэрээр Орос болон Зөвлөлтийн хоолны түүхийн чиглэлээр олон ном хэвлүүлж, үндэсний телевиз, радиогоор хоолны түүхтэй холбоотой нэвтрүүлэг хөтөлдөг байсан нэгэн юм. Мөн 2015 онд Миланд болсон Дэлхийн экспод ОХУ-ыг төлөөлөн элчээр ажиллаж байв. Түүний бичиж байсан хоолны булан нь Оросын эрх баригчид тухайн хэвлэл мэдээллийн байгууллагыг “хүсээгүй байгууллага” хэмээн зарласнаар 2024 оны долдугаар сард хаагдсан байна.

A Moscow judge on Tuesday sentenced culinary historian and former Moscow Times columnist Pavel Syutkin to six years in prison on charges of spreading “fake news” about the Russian military.
State prosecutorssought an eight-year prison sentence for Syutkin over Telegram posts about alleged atrocities committed against civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha during the opening weeks of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Russia denies committing war crimes in Bucha.
A judge at Moscow’s Zyuzinsky District Court found Syutkin guilty of spreading “false information” about the Russian Armed Forces, the court’s press service said in a statement on Telegram.
In addition to the six-year prison term, the court banned Syutkin from managing websites for four years.
Syutkin’s attorney Yevgeniya Grigoryeva told the state-run news agency TASS that the defense plans to appeal the ruling, which she said will likely be heard in the Moscow City Court.
The trial was held behind closed doors. Ahead of the verdict, Syutkin told reporters the secrecy was maintained due to an FSB witness in the case.
“But that’s just the formal pretext. I think the real reason is that the court itself feels some discomfort about handing down a sentence in this kind of political case,” Syutkin told reporters in a video shared by the Mediazona outlet.
“This verdict is honestly a certain mark of quality for the work I’ve been doing, an effort… aimed at reviving civil society in our country,” Syutkin said in another video, followed by applause from those who went to hear the verdict in court.
Syutkin was arrested last October and added to the Russian financial monitoring agency Rosfinmonitoring’s list of “terrorists and extremists,” a move that froze his bank accounts.
He has published several books on the history of Russian and Soviet cuisine and hosted programs on national television and radio devoted to the history of food. In 2015, Syutkin represented Russia as an official ambassador at the World Expo in Milan.
Syutkin and his wife wrote a weekly cooking column for The Moscow Times until Russian authorities banned the news outlet as “undesirable” in July 2024.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
