: How I went to Puting
Does the television beam rules the world? I see on TV that 30 thousand people gathered for the last Puting. I would be ready to believe if I were not there: five thousand were present from the force. The gap between television and what you see with your own eyes, and makes this text write.
You have undoubtedly heard something. Or read. Or even saw with their own eyes. Detention, blood, provocations, and so on, how the rally entitled “Millions Mart” ended. And for the time I heard almost nothing, I read almost nothing and certainly saw nothing like that. Because I decided to look at the triumph of the protesters. It is their candidate who takes office. It is their person to determine the national policy - both domestic, foreign and others, up to the most unpleasant budget and social.
“They”-well, “we” also voted for him with such a majority that any Hollande will be called, and Sarkozy will sob when they tell him that the slogan “enough to feed migrants” somewhere does not work in the elections at all. In other words: I went to the action that caustic bloggers and journalists call “Putings”.
The Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate seemed to report that in an event, the official name of which was “celebration of the Day of the Coat of arms and flag of the city of Moscow” was attended by 30 thousand people. No, no, the “Popular Front” was also present there, it was remembered from the scene to the place and not to the place, and its participants periodically interrupted the performances of the “stars of the Russian stage” (obviously the second, if not the third row), in the person of Katya Lel, the group “Love Stories” and Natalia Podolskaya. The acting artists, however, did not resemble anything about the existence of the ONF, only his direct beneficiaries in the person of the deputies of the State Duma Vyacheslav Lysakov were told about the advantages of the front in the person of the "United Russia". Alena Arshinova, as well as the representatives of the front in the Duma (clearly the second, if not the third row).
How can the real “Puting” can do without a “real” worker with the “Uralvagonzavod” Igor Kholmansky or “Eurasian” Dugin? Yes, nothing. The triumph of the winners, for sure you could see whether to hear or read something about it.
I do not know what the city of Moscow was with arithmetic at school, but I’m ready to swear - there were no 30 thousand participants on this action.
The wandering more or less by the way, by the way, left more or less massively when the "front-line soldiers" began to say. The space in front of the stage was still in the very least filled (you could see it on the air of the first or some other channel), stood a little further ... Four columns of the Russian Post. Or five. Or even six - well, how to count. Behind the first cordon (where the television cameras ended), an absolutely empty space began, on which there were 10 or 12 people holding stretching of this respected company. There were 10 or 12 of them. Perhaps - 14. And they have the corresponding chisos of stretch marks - one for two (by the way, the ONF on one of these stretch marks was called the “All -Russian Front” - that is, the VNF). And all.
20 people from the Prochrevskaya youth “local”, a 30-50 man (well, maybe even a hundred people) from the “Young Guard of United Russia”, 10-15 from the actual metropolitan EP, about 30 members of the “young Russia”, and a half dozen “St. George”, several dozen young people, mostly people without an obvious binding to organizations. Two dozen with small representatives of the “Russian Union of Rural Youth”, who introduced themselves as students of the agricultural cadced from Ivanov. A man of 150 Cossacks and 2 charming Cossacks - with them wandered on a rally by chance were happy to take pictures with pleasure. True, only organized people are listed, perhaps there were more interested.
No, definitely more: I completely forgot a dozen guys from the Eurasian Youth Union, who listened to the brief performance of the Fuhrer (50 seconds) curled up and left. And yes, the real united Russia in the person of the Senator from the Chelyabinsk region Ruslan Gattarov and the prominent post of the first deputy secretary of the Presidium of the General Council Sergey Zheleznyaka in the party hierarchy. These guys, by the way, cost (unlike other ONFAS) without the status of VIPs and personal badges. True, the audience hardly accurately identified them.
At the exit: two and a half or three thousand people who celebrated the anniversary of which there are at least 40 million people (one “Federation of Independent Trade Unions” gives 20 million with a tail).
A terrible disappointment: be it a meaningless and merciless day of the “flag and coat of arms of Moscow” of a real Luzhkovsky rosple - everything would be explainable. So, after all, it does not work to explain like that. And “Russian Post”, and proxy youths, and real United Russia, and even a permanent participant in “Putings” - the company “Ruzian milk” - do not allow to doubt. Well, we are witnesses exactly what was in Luzhniki on February 23 and February 4 at Poklonnaya. 3-5 thousand is an optimistic assessment-at the exit, instead of tens of thousands (I rely on the opinion of colleagues, because the Central Internal Affairs Directorate is capable of any pranks).
We decided to conceptually complete the evening, getting out of the Poklonnaya Mountain at half past eight, visiting the same Zhiguli bar that, after the Pervomaisian Putin, tandemocrats, who also attended the “independent” Shmakov trade unions and the ONFOVET, were also visited by the Tanda -Tanda, Topar of Trapezniki . They took with them the company's flag borrowed from Ruzian milk at the rally. I don’t know what the FSO was found there in this bar, but the “tandem menu” was not found there. There was a sign about “crayfish for 110 rubles”, there was no crayfish, as there was no boiled cod with potatoes (just ended; there was a completely inedible potato-free potatoes). Beer .... well, I hope that for Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev Lily something else.
Or maybe. We left the pub, to whom Medvedev and Putin made a “promotion”, and two young people immediately approached us. “How did Spartak play? Are you for Zenit? " - one of them asked, nodding to the rolled flag of "Ruzian milk." Having reassured the young people that we were not at all for Zenit, but “Spartak” won (I found out from the broadcast of sports in the “Lada”), we moved on. “These accurately come from a rally. More precisely, from the pouting, ”the young man said with obvious squeamishness in the underput, looking at the long shaft of the banner. “And they go with Bolotnaya,” Omonovet said unfriendly to the numerous punishing colleagues three minutes later. A good scatter of versions in a dozen minutes.
And we walked only to meet friends and find out the details of what you had already heard about. Or read. Or even saw with their own eyes.
