1 | Russia: Pussy Riot & Russian Courts in Perspective | Rosia : Miala Any Ny “Pussy Riot” & Ny Fitsarana Ao Rosia |
2 | On August 2, four days into the Pussy Riot trial, another hearing began in Yekaterinburg, the regional center of the Urals. | Ny 2 Aogositra, efatra andro talohan'ny fitsarana ny Pussy Riot , dia nisy fiakarana fitsarana hafa indray tao Yekaterinburg, ilay foibem-paritry ny Urals. |
3 | Unlike its more famous counterpart, this trial has failed to garner major attention both online and in the media, though it is in certain ways just as indicative of dysfunctional Russian approaches to law and order. | Tsy tahaka iry namany malaza be, tsy dia nahasarika loatra ny sain'ny olona ity fitsarana ity, na tanaty aterineto izany, na teny anaty fampahalalam-baovao, noho ny fahitana azy ho toy ny mari-pamantarana fotsiny ny tsy fetezana eo amin'ny fitondrana ny lalàna sy ny filaminana ao Rosia. |
4 | The public's lack of interest is especially curious considering the extensive coverage the original incident received. | Tena mahagaga ny tsy firaharahian'ny olona azy io raha ny fandrakofana be azon'ilay tranga tany am-piandohana no jerena. |
5 | In 2011, a hired band of immigrants from the Caucasus allegedly attacked a village called Sagra [ru], over a local dispute involving a minor drug dealer. | Ny taona 2011, andianà mpifindra monina voaray hiasa tao Caucasus no voalaza fa nirohotra nanafika tanàna iray antsoina hoe Sagra [ru], noho ny disadisa tao an-toerana nahatafiditra zaza tsy ampy taona iray mpaninjara rongony. |
6 | Aleksei Navalny compared the villagers, who managed to defend themselves successfully and even kill one of the attackers, to Spartan warriors [ru]. | Nampitovian'i Aleksei Navalny, tamin'ny ” Spartan warriors” [ru] ireo izay mponina nahavita niaro ny tenany samy irery ary nahavita namono mihitsy iray tamin'ireo mpanafika aza. |

8 | On the other hand, Navalny has called the arrested members of Pussy Riot “crazy broads,” and their actions “a publicity stunt.” | Etsy ankilany, Navalny dia niantso ireo mpikambana tao amin'ny tarika Pussy Riot voasambotra hoe “vehivavy mitapy,” ary niantso ny hetsika nataon'izy ireo ho “resaka dokam-barotra fampahafantarana.” |
9 | This, it turns out, did not stop him from attempting, in a stunt of his own, to take the stand as a witness in their trial [ru], apparently to attest to the “political nature” of the band's February performance inside the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. | Tsy nampihemotra azy izany fivadihan-javatra izany, tao anatin'ny fampahafantarany ny tenany mba hijoro ho vavolombelona amin'ny Fitsarana azy ireo [ru], araky ny fahitany azy, mba hanamarina ilay”natiora politika”-n'ilay fampisehoana nataon'ny Tarika tamin'ny volana February tao amin'ny Katedraly “Christ the Savior” (Kristy Mpamonjy). |
10 | (The court did not allow Navalny to testify.) | (Tsy navelan'ny fitsarana hanao fijoroana vavolombelona i Navalny.) |
11 | He has not yet commented on the Sagra trial. | Mbola tsy naneho ny heviny tamin'ny fitsarana an'i Sagra izy . |
12 | Perhaps the sentiment would be different, had Evgeny Roizman, Yekaterinburg-based anti-drug activist, not gotten involved in the case early on. | Angamba mety ho hafa ny fihetseham-po, fa angaha i Evgeny Roizman, ilay mafana fo mipetraka any Yekaterinburg, manohitra ny fidoroana dia tsy mahatsiaro tena ho voakasik'izany teo aloha. |
13 | It was partly his campaign to raise the public awareness about the incident's immediate aftermath that now makes the actual trial ‘boring' to most Russians. | Amin'ny ampahany dia ny fanairany ny fahatongavantsain'ny mponina mikasika ny zava-nitranga avy hatrany taorian'ilay fitsarana no mahatonga ankehitriny ilay fitsarana amin'izao fotoana ‘hankaleo' ny ankamaroan'ny Rosiana. |
14 | Initially, it was the villagers, rather than the bandits, who were blamed for instigating the violence, resulting in ‘good, honest' ethnic Russians landing in trouble with the law. | Teo am-piandohany, dia ireo mponina teo an-tanàna, fa tsy ireo jiolahim-boto, no notsiniana ho nitarika ny herisetra, nahatonga ireo Rosiana “tsara, marina” hifanjevo tamin'ny fitsarana. |
15 | Now, however, it is the 23 alleged gang members [ru] on trial. | Amin'izao fotoana izao, na izany aza, dia ireo mpikambana 23 voalaza fa “andian-jiolahimboto“[ru] no niakatra fitsarana. |
16 | Yet, even now, it is puzzling that the Sagra case should seem boring or unimportant. | Kanefa, na ankehitriny aza, dia mbola mahagaga ihany hoe toa hita ho mankaleo sy tsy dia misy dikany loatra ny raharaha Sagra. |
17 | After all, a person died, and people's lives and property were in danger. | Ary na izany na tsy izany, nisy olona iray namoy ny ainy tamin'iny, ary tandindonin-doza ny ain'ny olona sy ny fananan'izy ireo. |
18 | The entire incident speaks to dangerous trends of lawlessness and power vacuums in remote areas. | Miresaka fironana mahery setra anaty tsy fanarahan-dalàna ilay tranga ary Fanaparam-pahefana any amin'ny tany lavitra andriana. |
19 | Although this attack ended quickly and relatively bloodlessly, there have been other armed attacks on small communities that did not - one need only remember the Kushchevskaya Massacre [ru]. | Na dia nifarana haingana aza iny fanafihana iny ary tsy dia nisy rà nandriaka loatra, dia nisy fanafihana nitam-piadiana ihany tany amin'ireo fiarahamonina madinika izay tsy mba nitàm-piadiana- Tokony ho tsaroan'ny tsirairay ny Vono Olona tao Kushchevskaya [ru]. |
20 | The case is also a good example of Russian law in action - it has all the hallmarks of dysfunction: a prosecution that swaps the victims with the perpetrators on a whim, bowing to public pressure; and the release of some of the accused on bail [ru], while a veteran tried by the same court in a different, nonviolent case has not been able to leave pretrial detention for over a year. | Ohatra tsara eo amin'ny fihetsiky ny fitsarana Rosiana iny raharaha iny - hita ao daholo ny mariky ny tsy fetezana : fitsarana izay mampifamadina ny niharam-boina amin'ny mpanao heloka toy ny efa zava-panao raiki-tampisaka, fibaradahana noho ny tsindry ataon'ny vahoaka; ary ny famotsorana ny sasany amin'ireo voampanga amin'ny fampandoavana onitra [ru], raha toa ilay mpiady tranainy iray izay notsarain'io fitsarana io ihany, raharaha tsy nisy herisetra tsy afaka nialàna akory tamin'ny fitanana am-ponja vonjy maika nandritra ny herintaona. |
21 | The Sagra trial even has defendants swearing in the courtroom and demanding that the judge recuse himself. | Ny fitsarana an'i Sagra aza navela nanao fianianana tao an-trano fitsarana ny mpiaro ary nangataka ny handàvan'ny mpitsara ny tenany ihany. |
22 | (The judge of course refused.) | (Tsy neken'ilay mpitsara, mazava ho'azy.) |
23 | One of the accused was bitten by a guard dog [ru], while another is a mixed martial arts champion. | Ny iray tamin'ireo voampanga dia nokaikerin'ny alika mpiambina [ru], raha toa ka tompon-daka amin'ny haiady kosa ny iray . |
24 | There are also tie-ins to Senator Aleksandr Torshin's proposed handgun ownership liberalization. | Misy fifamatorany ihany koa amin'ny tolo-kevitr'ilay Loholona Aleksandr Torshin amin'ny fanalalahana ny fanànana basy tsotra . |
25 | Could the villagers have defended themselves better with handguns instead of hunting rifles? | Afaka niaro ny tenany tsaratsara kokoa ve ireo mponina teo an-tanàna raha niaraka tamin'ny basy tsotra fa tsy basim-borona? |
26 | Or would the gangsters have had an easier time attacking, if they had access to those same handguns? | Sa ve ireo andian-jiolahy mbola nanana fotoana malalaka kokoa nanafihana , raha nahazo alàlana hampiasa ireny basy mitovy amin'izany ireny koa izy ireo ? |
27 | Why then are Russian bloggers ignoring this? | Maninona ary izany ireo bilaogera Rosiana no tsy miraharaha azy io? |
28 | Is it a short attention span? | Sa ve fifantohana nandalo ihany izany? |
29 | After all, a whole year has passed since the incident. | Na izany na tsy izany, taona iray izay no lasa hatramin'ny nitrangan'iny toe-javatra iny. |
30 | Or perhaps it is because this case is based far from Moscow, and so it fails to register on the national radar? | Na koa angamba hoe lavitra an'i Moscow iny raharaha iny no nitranga, ka dia tsy tratran'ny Radar-mpirenena? |
31 | Perhaps it is not political enough, even with Roizman's involvement? | Na koa tsy dia politika loatra , na dia teo aza ny fandraisan'anjaran'i Roizman? |
32 | Maybe the culprit is a peculiar approach to presumption of innocence. | Angamba ny fototr'olana dia ny tsy fahatakarana loatra ny atao hoe tsy manan-tsny raha tsy efa voatsara (presumption of innocence). |
33 | Once the court of public opinion has convicted the assailants, the trial perhaps ceases really to matter. | Raha vao nampangain'ny fitsaram-bahoaka ny mpanafika, dia mety hiato tsy hiraharaha ny fitsarana . |
34 | It is of course far from certain that all 23 of the hired thugs, who are being tried all at once, share culpability equally. | Sarotra aloha ny hino hoe ireo mpiasa 23 ireo, tsaraina miaraka amin'ny fotoana iray, no hizara mitovy ny heloka iampangana azy. |
35 | Nevertheless, Roizman called them “dumb-asses” for not apologizing [ru], similar to the way apologies were demanded (and finally received [ru]) from Pussy Riot. | Na dia izany aza, Roizman dia niantso azy ireo hoe “V**n'omby” tamin'ny tsy fanaovan'izy ireo fialantsiny [ru], mifandraika amin'ny fomba nangatahana ireo fialantsiny (ary farany voaray [ru]) avy tamin'ny Pussy Riot. |
36 | On August 3, journalist Vladimir Soloviev addressed on Twitter [ru] the endless discussions about the Pussy Riot trial: “No one will ever understand that our courts treat everybody this way.” | Ny 3 Aogositra tao amin'ny Twitter [ru] , ilay mpanao gazety Vladimir Soloviev dia niatrika ilay resaka tsy misy farany momba ny Fitsarana ny Pussy Riot : “Tsy misy hahatakatra mihitsy hoe toy izany no fomba fitondran'ny Fitsarantsika ny olona rehetra.” |
37 | Until the public stops fixating on one case at a time, and pays attention to the entire legal landscape, nothing is likely to change. | Mandra-pijanon'ny olona tsy hibanjina zavatra iray amin'ny fotoana iray , ary hifantoka amin'ny tontolon'ny resaka lalàna , dia toa tsy hisy zavatra hiova mihitsy . |
