The Tushinsky District Court of Moscow registered a case of military “fakes” against Nadezhda Buyanova, a 67-year-old therapist at Moscow Children’s Clinic No. 140. Mediazona drew attention to the case file. The first hearing in the case has not yet been scheduled.
In February, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered to initiate a criminal case against Buyanova (clause “e” of Part 1 of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code). The department reported that the doctor “while seeing patients made negative comments” about the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine. Buyanova, the Investigative Committee claimed, “reacted with ridicule” to the information that a seven-year-old boy was grieving for his father who died in the war. According to security officials, the pediatrician accompanied her reaction with “statements about the lawful nature of the actions of the armed formations of Ukraine.”
The child’s mother, Anastasia Akinshina, complained to Buyanova, Mash wrote. The woman said that she brought her son for an examination because of problems with his eye. During the appointment, he “began to act up,” and the doctor asked what was causing this. The mother explained that the boy was missing his father. According to Akinshina, the doctor responded that the man was “a legitimate target for Ukraine, and in general, Russia itself is to blame.” After the reception, the woman wrote a police report against Buyanova.
On February 2, the pediatrician's office was searched. The next day, the Investigative Committee demanded that the doctor be sent to a pre-trial detention center, but the court did not grant this request. Instead of arrest, Buyanova was given a ban on certain actions. On April 26, the Tushinsky District Court tightened the preventive measure — the pediatrician was nevertheless sent to a pre-trial detention center. The investigation alleged that the doctor went to another region without notifying her, thereby “creating conditions that precluded maintaining contact with the investigator to call her for procedural actions.”
After the search, the investigators refused to return Buyanova’s passport under the pretext checking the legality of its receipt. The woman lived in Ukraine and moved to Russia more than 30 years ago. After the collapse of the USSR, she received a Russian passport.
