In society

Do not kill!

June 22, 2010 Adele Kalinichenko

In less than forty days, my school friend of the dark -skinned actor Tito Romalio was killed in St. Petersburg. And here is a new news: on June 17, eight people were detained in St. Petersburg , suspected of complicity in the murder of citizen Ghana in December last year, as well as in involvement of another ten similar killings. All suspects are members of the National Socialist Movement "National Socialism/White Strength."

“They do not die, they just hide in nature,” Edward Radzinsky once wrote about earthly evil. The Nazis, racists and others like them in Russia are no longer hiding. The execution of a citizen of Ghana, as well as the executions of the citizens of Iraq and their compatriots from the Caucasian and Central Asian republics, the detainees first shot on a movie camera, and then laid out on the Internet.

Theoretically, all normal people understand that xenophobia is one of the most ugly human instincts, but since it is instinct, it is present in human nature almost everywhere. Another question is how society and each individual person fights this instinct. The non -Bural society, “dividing and dominating”, xenophobia, as a rule, gradually cherishes.

Liberal, civilized for a long time came to understand what dangers carry xenophobia and racism, and fights with them with all his might. Firstly, by those forces that by the nature of the service are designed to fight anti-constitutional humannavigious manifestations, and secondly, forces laid down in the immune system of society itself.

Somehow I had a chance to visit Lutz and Renat Hollermayer, school teachers from the Bavarian village of Zinning, located near Donaufuurt. About ten years ago, a certain Anton Pfaler moved to their village from the neighboring town of Neuburg, at first not a remarkable neighbor. But once Zinning woke up from the roar of the tank caterpillars. Pfaler was driving in the tank, who somewhere for frantic money acquired this military relic. And all would be nothing, people have different people, but one tank “Toys” did not limit themselves.

Pfaler began to produce Nazi content leaflets, some strange personalities, including young neo-Nazis, dressed in black uniforms, were harassed to come to him on minibuses. Further more: Pfaler began to carry out the lessons of "patriotic education" with village kids. And when Renata met her students, ten-year-old boys, with some mysterious look of those classes, and tried to find out what their newly-minted teacher teaches, the boys hid their eyes and answered evasively: “You hardly need to know this.”

Then a newspaper began to be published in Little Zinning - the general German printed body of the NDPG Deutsche Stimme. And one of Anton Pfaler’s regular visitors was a certain Holger Apfel, a deputy of the Saxony Parliament from NDPG. And then the village, for some time, only dumbfounded after what was happening, rebelled amicably. Two hundred people went to the anti -fascist rally and went through a demonstration along the main Zinning Street with the banners on which it was written: “NDPG, Pfaler and the company! Get out! We don't like you! " This was the beginning of the confrontation between the village of Zinning neo -Nazemism in general and in particular - in its individual village. The police connected to the case. And one day, truly beautiful for the village tired of such an alarming life, the police came to Pfaler with a search, and very soon he left his house, accompanied by police officers already in handcuffs. Then there was a court, and the neo -Nazi received 2.5 years in prison.

It would seem that the evil is defeated and the village can finally put the point in practice. But this did not happen. The organization of the village anti -fascists “initiative against the right” not only continued to exist, but even began to grow and grow stronger. All new members entered it - from the surrounding villages and neighboring cities. Today, the organization consists of about 800 people. Moreover, it is not formally, but quite consciously and effective.

I asked my interlocutors about what makes them leave this struggle. After all, it seems that they won. “Unlike the complete defeat that Germany suffered during Hitler, a complete victory in the fight against Nazism, nor on the scale of the whole state,” Lutz Hollermayer answered. “This bacillus can doze, but she is always ready to wake up.”

He is right, this bright person, a rural school teacher.

To one degree or another, the bacillo xenophobia is infected with a significant part of the Russian society, mainly uneducated and aggressive, thinking of the categories of “his own alien”, seeing the world in black and white image. Maybe I am simplifying, but it seems to me that the basis of any xenophobia is primarily a meadow, the inability to look at the world not from its mouse mouse, but from a high point of view of all things.

Alas, now and then the peculiar “secret messages” appear, legitimizing xenophobia in the minds of “broad masses”. What is worth literally yesterday by the Declaration of the Moscow Transport Union, which prohibits drivers not to speak Russian. They are “in a foreign language” not with passengers explain, but among themselves, I believe. Or was it not recently the same Tajik language by one of the languages ​​of the “friendly family of fraternal peoples”? And now he, you see, insults the hearing of Muscovites and guests of the capital ...

It will be necessary to save at this pace very soon not black from white or vice versa, but from all, without sorting to colors and shades, which, in fact, are only a reason for emissions of mutual hatred. The Earth, of course, gives rise to all kinds of freaks: maniacs, sadists, misanthropes. As they say, the family is not without ... But when the process of “birth rate” of the demoniacs is not controlled, or even encouraged, this, brothers, are cractors. And to the “family” that “not without”, the crains, and those who came to visit her. There is no one to hide the forks ...

Martin Luther King said, turning to the racists: "We do not like you, but we love you." They did not like him either, and they killed him. It was them, they believed, patriotic duty ... But ultimately, Martin Luther King won. In his epoch -making speech “I have a dream”, he turned out to be almost a seer: “We will be able to speed up the onset of the day when all God's children, black and white, Jews and pagans, Protestants and Catholics will be able to hold hands.” Can we ever hold hands?

We can, of course! If each other by that time is not much killing.
I have a dream: not very ...
