In society

With a twinkle

Dragged. Although we can say that not really. That these are flowers. And flowers are not scary. There were no berries. There was still no - maybe he will continue.

The Russian football Cup match between the old and honored Moscow clubs Torpedo and Dynamo ended in the end that ... did not end. The judge was forced to stop the match after the fans threw the field, treadmills and rosters with pyrotechnics in the form of fire, salutes, firecrackers. The first salvo was given in the first half, and the match was simply interrupted. But after the break, the fans continued to light in the literal sense of the word. And the judge did not see the point of playing in this dangerous Bedlam.

But that's not all. Before and after the match in the Avtozavodskaya area, the fans of both teams staged a battle, and during the game they not only threw and blew up everything that did not hit, but also chanted the obscene “charges” to the rivals, the leadership of Torpedo and the police. Police, I will tell you, I learned about myself on this day much - much! - More than on all the marches of millions combined. Even on May 6, it was not so informative for her. But during the game, the policemen were indifferent to what was happening. Neither the mat, nor the fiery rain, nor the calm passage through the cordon of the “reinforcement” of other radical “fans of football” - nothing led them out of balance. Well done, guys!

This story miraculously complemented the events of last week, when Dynamo fans arrived in Novogorsk at the club base and in the middle of the night also began to burn with firecrackers and a verb. Then they entered the base itself and talked with players and coaches, promising them ... In general, Dynamo waits for nothing good football players if they continue to play poorly.

The piquancy of the situation was added by the presence in the ranks of the indignant football community of Alexander Schopygin, which is headed by the All -Russian association of fans. This is, as it were, an official fan organization with which Mr. Mutko and Mr. Fursenko actively flirted. VOB received the best places for the matches of the national team, he himself distributed them and acted almost as a structural unit of the RFU. And no one was embarrassed that the same Shopkin, nicknamed Kamansch, for example, appeared in the photographs walking on the Internet, painted with Nazi symbols. Who doesn’t happen to, right? The main thing is that the boy Sanya is good. Patriot! Club, national team, country!

Well, then, they were warmed by fireflies at the base, then they were rinsed with fists at Avtozavodskaya, then they almost burned the stadium. But everyone is alive. And they did not burn the arena, in fact.

Fans have already shown their strength when they went to the arena. Fans showed themselves when Putin forced Putin to yell in front of them and lay flowers on the grave of Yegor Sviridov. But they still do not seem to the authorities a serious threat to society. You yourself think. Where else in Moscow, and not only, is it possible? We will be cleaned with any shares, everyone will stop. After May 6, people still sit behind bars. Because the state is harsh, the police are determined. And then fans swear for many thousands of chorus, carry how to do the cops in vain, fight, break and burn that they come to hand and fall under the leg - and nothing! It turns out that these people are the only part of society that can express its point of view openly, full, not afraid of anything! The part of the society with which the police can do nothing. Which seems to be even afraid of fans!

When officials are asked what they are going to do with this problem, when and how, they invariably answer that the air is necessary for the adoption of the Law on the fans and that they are waiting for it as the manna of heaven and, they say, when the law will be accepted ... and what will happen then? How magically is the law capable of solving this problem? Or can you give me examples when in our country the very fact of the adoption of any law managed to deal with some kind of ulcer? There are no such examples. Even good laws are not fulfilled. And recently, laws adopt frankly filthy. Which would be good to not be fulfilled. Where is the guarantee that the Law on Fans will be better?

And by the way. Why is it needed, a separate law on a separate group of citizens in interests? Are there no articles for hooliganism, for violation of public order, for vandalism, for causing harm to property, for insulting and resistance to law enforcement, and for bodily harm? Everything that happened at the Torpedo stadium fits perfectly into a whole bunch of already adopted laws! Where are they, why don't they work?

And it is doubly wonderful that the word "fans" sounds in this context. I have a good friend who is suffering just for the Torpedo. He told me that there were almost no fans of this glorious team, that it is in the bowels of the first division, which is not particularly necessary for anyone. And after these events, he noticed bitterly: well, here they are now talking about our club everywhere. It turns out how many fans he has! The match was torn off, with the Dynamo, the crowd fought on the crowd!

And there is no contradiction. There are almost no fans in the stands - and not only at Torpedo. But fans flooded everything! People for whom football is nothing more than a reason. Nazis, xenophobe, right -wing radicals - these are our fans. (By the way: last season, how many fines “Torpedo” paid! He was even punished by holding games without spectators - because fans were so huts, and in addition, indecent chants were constantly chanting the black clubs of other clubs.)

A football match is an event at which fans can throw out all this shit out. Massively, publicly, impunity. Moreover, power will bow to their legs - go badly! The guys live with a spin. And society plays with a twinkle.
