You yourself will die!

We are already used to everything. And to nationalist marches, and to everyday chauvinism, and to official nationalism. And in the stands of the stadium there is generally more of this “good” than anywhere else. And blacks are offended, and the other day in Chelyabinsk at a hockey match they chanted at the Riga Dynamo players: “Fascists!” But what happened in St. Petersburg at the match between Zenit and Dynamo Moscow shocked and offended me as if I had been personally insulted.

Fans of the St. Petersburg club hung a banner. They did not call for violence, did not humiliate anyone based on nationality, race, or gender. In fact, it is apparently difficult to punish criminally for what they wrote on their rag. But it made a stunning impression. For some reason, colleagues are careful not to quote the inscription directly - they say, why create advertising for assholes. Or they say what it is and it’s disgusting to quote. And I believe that it is necessary to quote. Because otherwise there is no point in shaking the air and branding someone with shame.

It was written: “Your Yashin has died. Dynamo will die!

These are not the words that are shouted in an emotional frenzy, without really understanding what exactly they are shouting. This is not a trivial everyday thing, when almost everyone had to cross the boundaries of political correctness due to emotions. Decent size banner. He was held on the podium by dozens of hands. And more than one hand carefully drew it. And more than one person came up with it. They carried it into the stadium - despite the notorious “draconian measures” taken every time by the police, who raid our stadiums and take away everything from the fans, even ordinary newspapers and house keys. But for some reason, firecrackers and such writings are carried past the police every time.

Lev Yashin is one of those people who became heroes of our country, without any exaggeration or quotation marks. The best player in the history of Russian football, the only one who is truly known throughout the world. And not just a famous football player, but also a kind, touching person, about whom you cannot say a bad word. He, of course, is not a saint, but by insulting such a person, every bastard encroaches on the sacred. You yourself will die, you filthy bitches!

And now I’m wondering what the other Zenit fans will answer, who traditionally talk about “a bunch of scumbags by which true football fans should not be judged.” What will the fans say in general? The last round of the current championship will take place next weekend, and the last match in the history of the arena, which is being closed for complete reconstruction, will be played at the Dynamo stadium. Yashin played in this stadium all his life, and his monument stands there. Will people come to him with flowers, as people have started calling for on the Internet?

And one more thing: I am not an expert in legal subtleties and I really don’t know whether the St. Petersburg action contains elements of at least some kind of crime. But these citizens committed a moral crime. There are photographs where their faces are visible quite clearly. And we know that if you want, you can find a person very easily in our country. Is there such a desire?
