Gennadiy Zyuganov stood up for a Crimean farmer convicted of ‘slavery’
The head of the Communist Party sent an appeal to the chairman of the Supreme Court.  In it, he asked Vyacheslav Lebedev to consider the case of Nikolai Yudin, a farmer who was sentenced to 10 years in prison under three articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, including slave and child labor and extortion.

The investigation into Yudin's case lasted for a year.  In June 2021, the Supreme Court of Crimea adopted its verdict.  The head of a farm, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and a father of four, living in the village of Yemelyanovka, was sentenced to ten years in a prison (the court of first instance sentenced him to 11 years).
The convict's eldest daughter, who turned to Gennady Zyuganov, believes that the father was punished unfairly and that he did not commit the crimes.
According to the defense, the judicial authorities did not take into account the relevant evidence, while the prosecution's arguments based on unreliable arguments were taken as the basis for sentencing.  Thus, the judges violated the most important principle of justice, known since the days of ancient Rome: ‘we must listen to the other side as well’.

The investigation believes that the 58-year-old farmer in the spring of 2020 kidnapped 15-year-old Vyacheslav Brezhnev, who was walking with a metal detector across the arable field at the moment when large agricultural machinery was cultivating the soil.  It is curious that the teenager himself, whose mother continues to serve in the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of Moscow, was ‘sent’ to the capital on the same day through the acquaintances of the child's father.  The farmer phoned him on the phone.

The ‘mask show’ with the participation of the FSS of the Russian Federation and the Crimean department of the Russian Guard began in the farmer's house five days later.  Searches were carried out not only in Yudin's house, but also in his ex-wife and elderly mother’s housings. What kind of documents the law enforcement agencies were looking for, having seized financial and statutory papers related to farming activities, remained unclear.
Relatives believe that the whole ‘kidnapping’ case is nothing but an attempt to take away the business from the well-deserved farmer.
Now the head of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation sent a whole archive of expert testimonies and other documentation received from Elena Yushchenko (Yudin's daughter who lives in Simferopol) to the chairman of the Supreme Court.
