Moscow municipal deputy Alexei Gorinov, convicted under the article about military “fakes,” was taken for examination to a civilian hospital, where he was found to have signs of a serious illness, his support group reported.

Gorinov is now in the prison hospital at IK-3 in the Vladimir region and is undergoing treatment. “Alexey’s diet has been improved, now he receives meat, cottage cheese and milk every day,” the message says.

The deputy’s associates said on December 15 that they did not know where he was. On that day and the day before, his lawyer came to IK-2 Pokrova, but was unable to meet with his client.

“Based on his own intuition and knowledge of Gorinov’s poor health,” the lawyer visited several colonies in the region until he was finally able to see Gorinov at the IK-3 hospital in Vladimir, where he was hospitalized with a high fever.

Later, a case was opened against him for justifying terrorism (Part 1 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code) because of his conversations with cellmates about the Ukrainian Azov.

Gorinov’s associates have repeatedly reported that he is “in very bad condition » In early December, the lawyer reported that Gorinov had blue skin and had difficulty sitting in a chair. The convict himself said that he fell ill with bronchitis, while the colony staff took away his medicine.

It is known that in 2016, a municipal deputy had a lobe of his lung removed due to tuberculosis. Doctors and more than 70 politicians from Russian regions made a request to hospitalize the deputy in December.
