In the opposition

The first swallow

May 29, 2012 Anton Oresh

Three weeks after clashes in Bolotnaya and a week after the rewarding of the riot police, the first culprit of the riots and physical suffering caused by the police, who can only partially be compensated by two-room apartments, was found. Alexander Dukhonin is accused of violence against representatives of law enforcement agencies and calls for riots.

An important evidence, as I understand it, is already a well -known half -minute video in which Alexander "throws a piece of asphalt into the police." I hope this is not the only thing the investigation can boast. Because the video is very strange. Very.

The main thing that you need to pay attention to is that during the recording the camera keeps on the sight precisely the oven. That is, the operator unknown to us did not take off the riots, but removed the spirit and its actions. To do this, I had to move quite quickly in the chaos of the square, maneuver between people and not lose the target from the focus. Even for a professional, this is not such a simple job. However, everything was perfectly removed.

And what does it mean? Could the operator know in advance that Alexander was going to throw something into riot police? Or could it? Or helped her be able to be able to?

At the same time, I do not share the point of view of Ilya Yashin, who presses the fact that the girl is young. That she could have passed her nerves at the sight of police outrages. Yes, young, yes, they could, but, from the point of view of the law, the 18-year-old man is fully aware of his actions, especially since Alexander a convinced activist of the May protests and the protection of the Tsagov forest. And those who surrender the nerves are no more excuse than who surrendered the nerves of the police. It is easy to understand humanly, but you need to think with your head. However, this is a retreat from the canvas of events.

And in this canvas, we have that someone purposefully “led” the fool and expected a certain act from her. Which took place. But what is curious at the same time: you noticed that the film ends at the moment of the throw, and for some reason such a clever operator did not make a natural movement to the right to trace the flight path of the “projectile”? Or did it and took off everything, but it was specially not included in the video?

About the "shell", by the way, it is also not very clear what it was beyond the projectile. This is just a conditionally piece of asphalt, but in fact it could be something and not so dramatic.

That is, in the frame the girl throws something, throws in a woman’s, not technical-and not far. Throws from the line of photojournalists. And it is unlikely that she could, firstly, to kindly to voluntarily to the police, and secondly, to cause the police some significant harm. However, the apartments were given to riot police not for fatal wounds.

A number of questions arise. And the most obvious: is that all? Is that all that three weeks after the "Million Marsh" managed to dig? Alexandra Dukhonin, throwing it is not clear where it is? Despite the fact that fights were really in the square, and people in masks really threw stones and knocked on polishes.

And here I completely agree with Yashin: where are the notorious people in masks? Why were they not detained, why did they not present anything? Why did it take three weeks to identify the first suspect?

I can assume that they watched the notes of specially trained people for three weeks in order to find at least something in these records, and among people without masks they did not find anyone more suitable for the role of the “pogrom” than Alexander Dukhonin.

So what, the new "Pussy Ryot"? We will blow out world's news from scratch and make a prisoner of conscience, a symbol of the era and a hero of protest from a girl?

The most entertaining is that our police, apparently, will not be able to find pogroms, hooligans and bandits, even if she really has a task to catch them. It’s not such girls, not to catch such girls, not somewhere behind the scene, not “all but those who are in masks”, but naturally catch order violators. They will not be able to catch or subsequently find with the help of operational investigative measures. Apparently, the police and riot police are taught something different for some other purposes and destinations.
