A special case

A pure joke - heavy positional battles for the "hut of a forester". On the news feeds of the report from the front: the first assault choked, only on the second attempt the bailiffs knocked the fence. The defenders are used by old people, children, communists, television and kuchens. Attacks are hiding behind the order, reinforce the bailiffs with riot police. A little later, reports on losses come - one of the defenders of the Butovsky house is hospitalized, the other two receive medical care, but do not give up.

After all, just fun: federal media, member of the Public Chamber under the President of the Russian Federation, the span of the native Moscow land and the widest opportunities for exercises in wit.

Really funny, especially if from the side or from some far abroad. And if from the point of view of the historical homeland, especially its center, the boulevard, the garden ring, then it is somehow dreary.

Because rumors probably passed: the native house, which survived two revolutions, a putsch and market reforms, is considered emergency. And Malyshevs from the 35th have already agreed to leave for Mitino, Selivanov is counting on Zhulebino, and the rest are busy with strategic planning.

Someone heard that, holding out after turning off the water, you can demand Maryino. And one familiar lawyer recently spoke about the competently compiled lawsuit with a surcharge, but still at Alekseevskaya. True, he warned: while the court and the case will have to live in a siege, perhaps not only without water, but also without electricity ...

The eternal story, which was intelligent, the apartment issue and the same eternal conflict of local and federal legislation, which, being taken together, do not want to put up with common sense or elementary ideas about decency.

It is clear that the application of any law in practice is an attempt to unwind a whole ball of softening and aggravating circumstances, personal interests, and the housing code is only a special case in civil law. That's just "private" - a keyword.

Private house, private apartment, private property. Someone got the corner in the hostel of the deceased AZLK, someone three-legged in a crooked lane. They are not guilty of anything and do not owe anyone - it happened historically, in some cases long before the birth of the distribution system.

In the same way, market relations and simple rules have developed historically when it is customary to reckon with the interests of private individuals. So that the scores do not turn into a bazaar and remain the same market, prepared decisions, and laws were created.

So, eviction from a private house to a one -room apartment is formed lawlessness, albeit covered with regulatory acts. It cannot be that the terrace, a couple of rooms, shed and amenities in a rather spacious courtyard turned into 18 meters of a common area on a person in a house along Kadyrov Street.

You can object: Butovo epic is still a very special case. Of course, but also exemplary. Butovo in his particular shows that among private interests there are always those that are more particularly. In principle, always and everywhere. It’s just that we can say more often - everywhere.
