All defendants are serving their sentences in Tomsk Correctional Labor Colony No. 6.
[inaudible] The crime provided for in Articles 58 P 10, Part 1 and 58 P 11 of the Criminal Code.
[inaudible] The court established the following after the preliminary and judicial investigation:
The defendants—DOSTOVALOV, KURDYUKOV, LAPSHINOV, and BARANOV—while serving their sentences in Correctional Labor Colony No. 6, were used to work in a lumber drying facility in 1940. They maintained constant contact with one another through their work, and, being hostile to the socialist state, repeatedly engaged in group newspaper readings in 1940 in the presence of other prisoners, where they discussed and interpreted key Soviet press reports in a counterrevolutionary spirit. For example:
In February 1940, the defendant Dostovalov, with the participation of the defendants Lapshinov and Kurdyukov, spread counter-revolutionary slander against the Soviet Union on the issue of military actions on the Finnish front, expressing defeatist (?) sentiments [in] praise of the capitalist countries.
In January 1940, the defendant Lapshinov (?), in the presence of Dostovalov and witness ???, conducted counterrevolutionary conversations, spread counterrevolutionary slander against the leaders of the Party and Government, the workers of the Soviet Union, while praising the enemies of the people.
In March 1941 (apparently a typo, should have been 1940. - E.B. ) DOSTOVALOV, KURDYUKOV and LAPSHINOV expressed defeatist views on the events in the West.
In May 1940, the defendants DOSTOVALOV and LAPSHINOV repeated their statements of defeatist sentiment towards the USSR in favor of capitalist countries.
In June 1940, the defendant LAPSHINOV, with the participation of KURDYUKOV and BARANOV, in the presence of the witness IVANEV (?), spread counter-revolutionary slander against the USSR regarding the events in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
In April 1940, defendants Dostovalov and Lapshinov, in the presence of Baranov and witness Ivanev, spread counterrevolutionary slander against the Soviet press and Stalin's Constitution. At the same time, they praised the enemies of the people.
Furthermore, in the summer of 1940, in the presence of witnesses KABAKOV (?), GORSHKOV (?), and ???YAEV, the defendants KURDYUKOV and ILYIN conducted counterrevolutionary conversations and spread counterrevolutionary slander against the USSR. The court finds that the repeated group meetings of the defendants DOSTOVALOV, KURDYUKOV, LAPSHINOV, and BARANOV, at which they discussed in a counterrevolutionary spirit issues of foreign and domestic policy pursued by the Soviet Government, are not only confirmed by witness testimony, but were also acknowledged by the defendants during confrontations during the preliminary investigation, as well as by the written explanations of KUZNETSOV /see §§ 53 and 55/.
That is, they committed a crime under Article 58, paragraph 10, part 1 of the Criminal Code, and therefore, guided by Articles 219 and 320 of the Criminal Procedure Code
SENTENCED:
DOSTOVALOV Evstafy Ivanovich, KURDYUKOV Vladimir Nikolaevich, LAPSHINOV Mikhail Grigorievich, BARANOV Fedor Vasilyevich, on the basis of Art. Art. 58 p. 10 part 1 and 58 p. 11 of the Criminal Code shall be sentenced to deprivation of liberty for a term of /10/ ten years each.
