E125: Matthew LUXMOORE on Denis KARAGODIN’s crusade in Tomsk

– “Matthew LUXMOORE, a Moscow-based correspondent for RFE/RL, discusses his March 2021 article about an amateur researcher in Tomsk named Denis KARAGODIN who’s spent the better part of a decade compiling archival documents about the execution of his great-grandfather in 1938 by officers in the NKVD. Earlier this year, the local authorities reportedly started building a criminal case against KARAGODIN on defamation charges filed by the relatives of some of his grandfather’s supposed executioners.”

Ведущая североамериканская газета “The Washington Post” вышла с большой статьей о “Расследовании КАРАГОДИНА“.

Статья: “He spent years uncovering the Stalin-era execution of his great grandfather. Lawsuits seek to bury the evidence.“

Текст вышел как на сайте издания, так и в его бумажной версии!

Автор – Robyn DIXON, лично посетила город Томск (в начале апреля) и взяла почти трех-часовое интервью у Дениса КАРАГОДИНА – руководителя следственной группы “Расследование КАРАГОДИНА”.

Пара прямых цитат:

“<…> Karagodin, who is working on a doctoral thesis when not researching, is facing two legal cases seeking to shut down karagodin.org, a sprawling online museum recounting his discoveries, full of documents, fascinating historical tangents — and a tab with the heading “murderers.”<…>”

“If Karagodin is sanctioned by the courts, it would mark another ominous turn as Russian security chiefs tighten their grip and Putin cracks down on activists, journalists and opponents such as jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.

Karagodin’s efforts for justice and transparency also offer a template for others to follow — provided they have the energy and time to overcome bureaucratic resistance. <…>”

“There’s been a murder,” he told the FSB major, asking to see the archive. The major, surprised, countered: “Write a request. <…>”

“Karagodin is planning a podcast to drum up public pressure.”
