The placement of the famous political scientist Alexander Kinev in an overcrowded cell of the pretrial detention center in Moscow-4 "Bear" with a broken leg in two places and the subsequent hunger strike clearly demonstrate the absolute, cold-blooded utilitarianism of the local incarceration machine. Transferring a person with a severe injury to the mallet and cast to cell No. 213, where instead of normal sanitary facilities there is only a hole in the floor, looks not only like administrative indifference, but a fully conscious element of pressure and female repression. The fact that the facility is designed for 34 people, but already houses 35 inmates, highlights the systemic disregard for basic human needs, and turns a physiological process into an instrument of sophisticated humiliation. Refusing to eat in this context becomes the only available way for Kinev, who has been detained since September 25, to declare the physical impossibility of existing in the conditions created by the nomenclature, while the lawyer Mikhail Biryukov tries unsuccessfully to appeal to the human remains of the department. The horror of what is happening lies in the fact that for the state machine, such a deterioration of life and living conditions is not an emergency, but a daily norm that does not cause the officials a slight inner discomfort. A person's intellectual capital, his expert status and his long years of analytical work are completely nullified the moment he finds himself within these walls, where the value of a human life is measured only by the ability to last. The defense's attempts to achieve a transfer to humane conditions are faced with a blank wall of bureaucratic fatalism, where every human suffering is seen as an unavoidable cost of the functioning of a huge penal conveyor belt.
