Mark Feygin Biography

Mark Feygin is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on June 3, 1971 in Samara, Samara Oblast, Russia. Mark Zakharovich Feygin (Russian: Mark Zakharovich Feigin born on June 3, 1971) is a former Russian politician and lawyer. He was in office from January 1994 until November 1995, as the deputy to the State Duma and was the vice-mayor of Samara. In the years 2011 and 2012 Feygin participated in the opposition to the Russian president Vladimir Putin, and announced the formation of the opposition group. Mark Feygin was disbarred on the 24th of April, 2018.

The year 2012 was the time Feygin was one of the three attorneys representing Pussy Riot, a punk group that was arrested for an illegal concert in the Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The trial of the group was a global cause célèbre in the course of their trial for charges of hooliganism. On the 1st of October, 2012, an appeals hearing was delayed in Moscow City Court. Moscow City Court after band member Yekaterina Samutsevich told an apex court of three judges that she wanted to end their representation as defense lawyers and stated “My position in the criminal case does not coincide with their position.” Samutsevich’s attorney, Irina Khrunova, argued that her client hadn’t really committed the crimes of hooliganism within the church because she was barred from entering the soleas by church security. The court was able to accept the argument and allowed Samutsevich with two years of probation. The judges, however, rejected the appeals filed by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova as well as Maria Alyokhina, upholding their convictions and sentences.

Since 11 June 2014 Feygin also defended Nadiya Savchenko, a Ukrainian air- force pilot who was captured by pro-Russian insurgents during the 2014 insurgency in Donbass (in eastern Ukraine) and who was detained in Russia and charged with the killing of two Russian journalists.

This wasn’t the first time Mark Feygin’s attorney status was debated in court. Ilya Novikov, an attorney who defended Nadiya Savchenko together with Mark Feygin, filed a complaint to the Moscow Chamber of Lawyers, asking for Feygin’s disbarment by claiming that “Feygin violates the code of professional ethics of lawyers by speaking obscenely in social media.” On 9 August 2017 the Chamber made a decision to give out warnings to both Feygin and Novikov. Novikov claims that on the way out of the courthouse, Feygin headbutted him in the elevator.

In 2000, he graduated from his Institute of Business Administration, Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation (Moscow) and the faculty in “Strategic Management”. In 2002, he was a graduate of The Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

In 1995, he graduated in 1995 the Law Faculty of the Samara State University. He was among the leading figures of the movement for democracy in Samara as well as chairperson of the regional group that was part of the group Democratic Russia.

On 19 November, Feygin and the two other lawyers for Pussy Riot withdrew from the case prior to Tolokonnikova’s appeal, stating that they felt the court would be more likely to grant it if they were no longer a part of the defense. Samutsevich criticized the original legal team for allegedly using the trial for personal publicity rather than securing the release of the defendants. On 21 November, Samutsevich’s lawyer told the press that Samutsevich was considering requesting that Feygin and the other original lawyers be disbarred for failing to return her passport and other belongings. Feygin responded via Twitter that Samutsevich was part of a “defamation campaign organized by the authorities”, while another member of the legal team, Violeta Volkova, responded that the claims were “part of an agreement that allowed her to break free of the case”. On 21 January 2013, Feygin, Volkova, and Nikolay Polozov filed suit against Khrunova and Kommersant for defamation. This suit was rejected by the Tverskoi District Court on 20 August 2013.
