"Map of violations"
Love by duress. At the end of January, the Voice Association has many times stunned by power and state propaganda again launched an interactive “violation map”: it is here the fellow citizens who have a message about violations during the presidential campaign. What and who is on the new one - learned The New Times, the information partner of the project
In the 2011 parliamentary campaign “Map of Violations” (http://www.kartanarusheniy.ru/) recorded about 8 thousand reports of various kinds of voter rights. The presidential campaign was still at the very beginning, but the complaints have already gone. For example, they write that people are forced to go to promotions in support of Vladimir Putin. During the parliamentary campaign, such a “coercion to the rally” was still perceived as something ordinary, like snow in winter.
According to statistics, so far the most common type of violations is the pressure of the management of enterprises for employees, so that they take in advance absenteeism for early voting (more than 80 complaints). In second place is the use of government officials of the administrative resource (more than 50 complaints). The five leaders among the regions are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Bryansk and Sverdlovsk regions. In total, the geography of violations so far covers about 40 cities and regions.

Muscovites are most complained of “forced participation in Putin’s rally”, which took place on February 4 on Poklonnaya Gora, simultaneously with the procession of “angry citizens” and the opposition. Basically, employees of budget organizations - Mosgaz, Mosvodostok, Mosvodokanal, Russian Post and others write. Here is a typical example: “I work in the State Unitary Enterprise“ Mosvodok ”, which is subordinate to the Jacc forces of the city of Moscow * * Department of housing and communal services and improvement .. All employees are obliged to come to a rally on February 4 for Putin, which should take place on Poklonnaya Gora. All who do not go, the authorities said orally, will be deprived of a bonus. ”
The New Times talked with representatives of all the mentioned institutions - the information was confirmed. So, an employee of Mosvodostok, on the terms of anonymity, said that the management of the enterprise was supposed to bring about a third of employees to the Poklonnaya - this is about 1000 people. According to our interlocutor, one could come on Saturday morning, before the rally, to the company's head office and write a statement: they say, I want to work on Saturday. Further - on the bus and on the bow. They promised: they will pay this day at a double rate. Those who came without a piece of paper gave a debrief - they say, they worked well for Putin, you can relax. Another source, already from Mosvodokanal, shared with The New Times: “We have preparation for the elections in full swing. The task of the leadership was set: out of 12.5 thousand employees, 4 thousand should take part in the "carousels". According to him, the technology will be new, not like in December in the parliamentary elections: now each person is registered in advance in a large number of plots, and then they will simply carry around the city. “Yes, at all budget enterprises this is the case: at the Biryukov level * * * Pyotr Biryukov is the first deputy mayor of Moscow. Briefings are held with management, house books are being prepared, and lists of participants are being formed. This time they are not in stuffing, but they decided to take the number of participants. ” The New Times sent his questions and called each of the mentioned institutions, but did not receive official comments from the leadership. Only the head of the external relations of the Mosvodokanal Denis Domozhakov said that he first hears about such things.

If you compare with the Duma campaign, then there are few complaints from St. Petersburg. And all of them mainly concern schools. “School No. 31 of the Vasileostrovsky district: the director of the School Ostapchenko Tatyana Olegovna forces teachers to take absenteeism and vote on the site in the 31st school for Vladimir Putin. She threatens the teachers in every possible way - fines and dismissal, ”writes one of the authors of the Card. It was not possible to talk with the director Tatyana Ostapchenko The New Times - she is always busy. But, as it turned out, this is not the only school of the Vasileostrovsky district, where teachers were forced to take absenteeism. On January 17, all directors of schools of this district received a letter by e -mail with relevant instructions from the deputy head of the education department of the district administration of Natalia Krasnova. “On January 26, I talked about this with the vice-governor of St. Petersburg Vasily Kichevzhi,” says Nina Petlyanova, a Novaya Gazeta correspondent in St. Petersburg, “he confirmed that Krasnova on his own initiative really gave such instructions. The next day, the administration began a check, but there are no results yet. In any case, they gave up the schools: the directors were asked to come to the education department, and there they returned all the absorptions to them. ” But, according to Petlyanova, this chaos managed to stop only due to the fact that journalists in their hands turned out to be a document: for example, in the schools of the Nevsky district, orders for absenteeism are given verbally.
Regions
In the Bryansk region, as local journalists told The New Times, Governor Nikolai Denin Falsification mechanism has long been debugged * * * In the parliamentary elections, United Russia received 50.1% of the vote in the Bryansk region: to prepare the population to vote correctly in advance, without waiting for the active phase of the campaign. In addition to the reports of the “Expelity to rallies” there are many complaints that even at private enterprises, employees are forced to take absenteeism: they will vote prematurely and by looking at the areas that are organized directly at enterprises. “Disorders are everywhere everywhere, behind them in Tiki 50-60 people, they cost two to three hours,” says Dmitry Tolochko, editor of the Bryansk portal www.province.ru. - A lot of anonymous calls from communal workers and kindergartens. As for private traders, this, for example, is a master's pharmacy, the prominent figure of EP Oleg Rozanov is led there. Or the agro-industrial holding "Tsar-Samaso", which belongs to the United Russia Bihishi Badirkhanov. " The same is at the Korvit confectionery factory. The official commentary of the representatives of enterprises, of course, is a complete “denial”.

The lawlessness managed to stop only due to the fact that the journalists have a document in their hands: for example, in the schools of the Nevsky district, orders for absenteeisms are given orally

Sochi. On the site "Cards" there is a message that the district administration sends an order to the enterprises to receive absenteeism. Scanned copies of the document are also attached, where in front of the enterprise the desired number of employees is worth it. The document was signed by the head of the resort and tourism department of the Khostinsky district, Yuri Chesnokov. The district administration refused to comment on the situation, but Valery Suchkov, the head of the Sochi Center for Public Control of the elections, told The New Times that he had already handed a copy of Chesnokov’s letter to the first deputy head of the city Viktor Filonov: “He told me that this is excesses on the ground, that he himself was extremely outraged. He promised to figure it out. I wrote a statement to the election commission, but for several days it has passed, but no reaction. On Monday, I will bear an application to the prosecutor’s office - a complaint about inaction. ”
