Ambitious holodrans

Three weeks among "ours"

Surrealism. Opponents call them “nurses”, “hunveibins” and “Hitler Youth”. The Kremlin curators assure them that they are the future political elite of the country. To understand who they are actually, The New Times correspondent for several weeks became a supporter of the “ours” movement. The site "ours". All in red. Red Medvedev and Putin. Fat inscription "Will you be the third?" Red phone number for those who want to come. A female voice in the tube from the first seconds switches to "you" and calls for a meeting for beginners. With a stupidly enthusiastic face and mantras, “Surkov is my idol” and “everyone like Putin” would go to “ours”.

Headquarters-in the area of ​​Mius Square, at the side of the former hostel of the highest party school of the CPSU. For "ours" is a very convenient place. Instead of the Higher School, now the RSU, and very next to the Humanitarian University-Alma Mater Khodorkovsky, Chemical and Technological University named after Mendeleev. The entire district is oversaturated with youth: the ideal place for agitrabota.

“Cool man” I cross the threshold of the headquarters and stumble on the pigs running back and forth with an unkind grin and chemical defenders in the corresponding costumes. “Just from the action,” explains the commissioner of movement Ivan Kosov. In the image of pigs, “ours” activists patrol supermarkets in search of expired goods on the shelves. The staircase leading to the holy of the saints of the most famous youth movement in Russia (according to the Levada Center survey in January 2011, 31% of respondents knew about it), decorated with huge portraits of duumvirs, the “ours” logo shines over their bright heads. I ask you to take a picture of me between two lights - the guys smile approvingly: "That's right, this is our tradition."

The first question: "And who is not ours at all?" Andrei, Private “Nashist”, a school designer in shabby jeans and a bag hanging out at the knees, answers instantly, as if waiting for this question: “Police, taking bribes, pharmacies selling drugs, owners of illegal casino ...”

We move on. The gaze freezes on the wall of honor: photographs, letters of activists and finally red in white: "What did you achieve?" The entire interior is designed in this range. “Red color is the color of our historical past, and white is the future” - as they explain their color addictions “ours”. A photograph of the handshake of Putin and Yakemenko, a portrait of Surkov with decorated activists A mustache A la Dali and the signature “Surrealism. We must be a realist ”, and again Putin, less often - Medvedev. On the shelves in a huge number, useful books “Enemies of Putin” and “Vladislav Surkov. Texts 97–07. " When asked about the role of Surkov, the commissar Kosov with the meaning says: “Surkov is our ideological leader. Cool man. " There are meetings with a cool man several times a year. The next will be held in mid -April. At the same time, a large -scale anti -corruption action "White aprons" with the participation of 50 thousand people is planned, half of which will be delivered from regions to Moscow with special buses. Who will pay for this banquet? “Socially oriented businessmen,” the question that hung in the air receives a quick answer to the penetrating commissioner.

The action "White aprons" (according to the commissars, this is a symbol of purity and inquiring) will be held on April 16. As planned by the organizers, 50 thousand activists should record cases of corruption in Moscow. “For example, if the rector of your institute has an expensive foreign car, stand next to it and demand on the camera to make a trial at what means he purchased it,” they instructed us at headquarters. At 14.00 on April 16, 50 thousand files with such certificates will be downloaded to the network. The slogan of the action: "Everything that was diligently hidden."

The ambitious hunger strikes “half of the regions will be brought,” the commissioner shares, “and we must collect the rest. Do you already have anyone? " The fact that I just came is not interested in anyone. Came - join in the work. Fortunately, his associates are taken away and he throws a neophyte in the "Rest Room".

"

The main thing is that you must understand well, ”says Commissar Kirill,“ democracy can only be built with totalitarian methods

"

Tennis tables, computers-in their free time from propaganda work, “nurses” play ping-pong, cut into various shooters. On the walls - collages with photos of activists, nearby - twelve Putin's months with the sensational Zhurfak calendar. A huge poster with a gloomy heading "Alien: Is there any alternatives?" Among the strangers Julia Latynina, Eduard Limonov, Alexei Venediktov, Dmitry Muratov, Boris Nemtsov, Ilya Yashin.

Gradually we get acquainted with other supporters. To the question of how I got here, I give out a homework: they say, in the next search for myself on the open spaces of the network I came across the “ours” website, I realized that I was sharing the idea, and now I decided ... In response, joyful exclamations: “Really? At least someone came of his own free will! " Mostly children are driven by relatives, friends, agitators-activists. They drag from the streets, from schools, schools, institutes. Of the leading institutions, by the way, almost no one. Yes, it is not customary to discuss studies here - in comparison with the movement, this is not significant. Before each activist there is a plan - you need to recruit a certain number of people in motion over a certain period of time. The older you are in the hierarchy, the greater the plan. For example, for the “White apron” campaign, the leader of the district - and the command structure of “ours” is arranged according to the territorial principle and the whole of Moscow is cut into districts and areas - must gain 1000 volunteers, the leader of the district - 100. “Soon is finally spring, one of the resting“ nogs ”, - the people will fall out into the street, we will be agitated day and night.” The honestly admit that, they say, I do not possess the talent of network marketing, an encouraging answer: “We will teach! This is very important - they give points for this! " Malles are a way up, a chance to become not only ours, but also necessary.

“Such as you - those who are just moving - we call ambitious holodrans: they do not know anything, but they want everything. If you dream of making a film, but do not know how - it doesn’t matter, we will teach you. The main thing is to convince. We teach this! " - says Vanya, “novist” with six years of experience. “But imagine - two years later, having passed the two“ Seliger ”, participating in all promotions, you can become the commissioner of the movement. And commissars are successful managers, talented directors and fashion designers, young deputies and businessmen. These are professionals, leaders and patriots. This is your chance in life! " But first you will have to learn the manifesto and hand it over to the federal commissar of the movement of Maria Kislitsyna. And then solemnly get an icon. And go agate and learn agitation.

Their universities young defenders of sovereign democracy should take compulsory courses: “Practical Rhetoric” (author of the course Oleg Matveychev, political strategist EP, who recently wrote on his blog that he dreams of wrapping in the tracks of tanks of all opponents of the authorities), “Information and Political Wars” (author Inna Kabanova, General Director of the G3 Communication Group them. SocialMediamarketing (SMM) (Svetlana Bach, head of the agency of the agency of ready-made marketing solutions Batch). Every week, representatives of the regional branches and leaders are sent to receive consultations to the television journalist, the host of the “fight” program on the Russia channel Vladimir Solovyov (“Sliped Uncle but understands”), as well as to Rutube producer Yuri Degtyarev. Activists are taught to make videos and devote to the art of their advancement on the network (“Work is needed in social networks - this is the main vector”). Before all the large shares, the “nurses” hold weekends in the Klyazma boarding house of the Presidential Affairs Management of the Russian Federation (it was here, by the way, the last New Year's corporate party of the presidential administration was also held), where “Trends and harvesting” is held with them (“Well, it is not clear what?”), They tell how to properly conduct a mass action, receive permission to the administration, and invite the media.

As a bonus - free Internet, yoga classes, hand -to -hand combat, self -defense, photoshop courses. Along the way, you need to prepare for the next "Seliger". The candidate minimum for getting into the Seligersky rally is simple, but burdensome: it is necessary to make five films (as they call an interview with an amateur camera with a standard set of questions) about veterans and write an essay based on Nikolai Starikov’s book “The Nationalization of the Ruble”, which develops the idea of ​​President Medvedev about turning the ruble into a world reserve currency.

In another "rest room" it smells very much as hamburgers and potatoes from McDonald's. Behind a cup of green tea, the commissar with six years of experience, devotes to the secrets of the world: why did the Soviet Union collapse, who make the “orange revolutions”, orders the crisis and how the Americans are trying to falsify the history of Russia. The Revenge Party is actively supported from abroad, and our liberal-fascists are just the lyceum of the Big Broadway political production, ”he says strictly, and it becomes clear that I will also have to know these words from the manifesto of“ ours ”.

“Ambitious hunger strikes”, for the first time at the headquarters of “ours”, will definitely read the Putin Plan, will get acquainted with Vasily Yakemenko, and if you are lucky, they will also fall on the next congress of movement, which Vladislav Surkov promised to visit

The legitimate hooliganism “ours” is a certain part of the society that has self-organized to solve any problems. We are for the Putin course, not Putin. If Putin jumps off the window, we will not jump after. If necessary, we will nightmare, ”says Commissar Kosov. “Nightmare” is a term used by movements to explain some shares. For example, in order for officials in their own skin to feel what to live and work in the trash, “ours” in the framework of the Ecology project flooded the Lyubertsy administration from a landfill to Torbeevo.

Those of the movements who are faster, they die in big politics, trying to use all the possibilities of Seliger, other meetings and seminars. For others, this is just a lifestyle, a sense of own significance, because it is cool: you can form a agenda, directing the camera to a particular problem. Someone goes to “ours” in order to fuck in the framework of the law: well, when you still have the opportunity to close the illegal casino with your own hands, filling the entrance with cement bags in anticipation of the arrival of the police!

At the meeting for beginners on the occasion of the impending April “Movement against bribes and kickbacks”, Vasily Yakemenko appeared late, as befits his own guy - in jeans, sneakers and a sweatshirt with a hood from Armani. He warms the audience with questions: “Let those girls raise their hands who believe that if a man has changed once, then this is not betrayal?”, “And now those of the guys who regrets that he has not changed the girl on time?” Finally, he gets to the “dessert”: “Who will never, under no circumstances will take a bribe?” On the horizon is two hands and silence. Without discouraging, Yakemenko offers to remain those who are ready to sacrifice broken legs and make themselves rich enemies for the benefit of the bright future of Russia. "So in 15 years, and that is not a fact." Five people want to leave, but they ask for the right to the last question. Yakemenko refuses with a smile: “No. You leave, but I answer. " After seventeen minutes, which the youth leader announced at the beginning of the speech, he hurries to say goodbye, leaving the newcomers to the address of his VKontakte page. According to Kosov Commissioner, Yakemenko always answers messages with his own hands and even complains that, they say, fifteen letters per day are not enough for him.

“The main thing is that you should understand well,” a bite of a juicy piece of Hamburger, says Kirill, the leader of “ours” in the southwestern district of Moscow, “only totalitarian methods can be built by democracy.”
