In society

Gambit into the head

June 28, 2007 Alexander Cherkasov

In the news again, headlines such as "GUVD: in Moscow are prepared collisions on national ground", although the weeks did not have passed after ... after which? What to call what happened last Friday, June 22, in the center of Moscow? What happened there at all - that is, what are the course, causes and meaning of events? I will allow myself to speak out on this subject, although I could not be "at the right time in the right place."

But the reconstruction of events was made without me: the “fight” on June 22 in Moscow overgrown with a huge amount of inaccuracies and just myths. They migrate in the media. It was necessary to lose every mind to the united Caucasians and Asians, so that on a mourning day on June 22-the day of the start of the Great Patriotic War-at first offended the national dances around the chapel dedicated to the heroes of the Plevna (there Russian patriots prayed against homosexuals), to do something insulting on the Manezhnaya Square, pestering the girls, but already on the prayer participants, but already on the prayer Slavyanskaya, where at the same time to defeat the cafe, beating passers -by. Most of the above is a lie, ” writes in the article “ Want to kill the Russian? Chronicle and analysis of events in the center of Moscow on June 22, Anna Karenikova. Together with colleagues from the anti -war movement, they quite professionally recorded events on the spot, analyzed observations and videos - their own and strangers - other various sources and “versions.

The author, who worked in the zones of ethnic conflicts, will allow himself to supplement the quotes from the article with his comments.



On the evening of June 21, a group of Slavic guys quarreled with a group of Caucasian youth, traditionally resting on Manezhnaya: either one did not like Caucasian dances, or the other - the Russian flag. The Caucasians proposed “talking” in another place, away from the Kremlin and its guards, the Russians did not agree - there were too few Caucasians. They suggested pulling up their own. “Camed” the next day at 19.00 ... In the same place on Manezhnaya.

Did all such conflicts of recent years have known to us so much-Stavropol-2007, Kondopoga 2006, forgotten by Yandy-2005? First - household conflict. Then his permission, but not by negotiations or appeal to the authorities, namely, "scoring the arrow."

Just in Stavropol such an “arrow”, that is, a mass fight, the case begins. In Kondopog, "their" began to scrap immediately, without delay "for later." And in Yandyki exactly in the point: first a fight for a specific reason, then - “arrow” ... Only the place and time in Moscow was not entirely suitable. The “arrow” on Manezhnaya on June 22 with a police “amplification” is a guarantee that the battle will not take place, so that the goal is not worthy of “wall to wall”, but only give the events significance and scope.

The whole next day the Internet was nodded to the “Strelka” invitations. Private conflict turned into socially significant with the help of two or three competent moves. DPNI, at the invitation of the "St. George", decided to put flowers to the eternal fire at an hour of the appointed "showdown" - of course, by chance. “Ordinary users of the Internet turned out to be more honest:“ We’ll go to fight with “blacks”, albeit a place of “rogue” - but a matter of honor, do not come to the “arrow”. ”

It turns out that the logic of workers and suburbs, from where the police and other authorities left once and for all, providing the opportunity to "understand" among themselves as usual, "works great" in the country of Moscow. " It turns out that the authorities have left here ... It is no less important that as soon as the conflict is called “ethnic”, everything - “point of no return” has been completed, the initial household occasion becomes insignificant.


Now this is a conflict, firstly, between the communities. That is, some have a traditional community, with the authority of the “old people” who can try to ugly “young”, and others? Secondly, the conflict is tied precisely between youth groups, for which "correct concepts" are much more important than the authority of "old people" or references to the law. By this moment, the process usually includes “ideologists” from the outside - the lample non -nost Cossacks in Yandyki, visiting “fighters with illegal migration” in Kondopoga. The provocateur here is expanse, and for a peacemaker it is almost hopeless. And young people who seem to feel like "real boys", independent creators of their fate, become pawns in someone else's game.*

At first, the party took shape positional. The “sides” began to gather at the seven in the afternoon at the semi -afternoon: Caucasians above the domes, opponents from below, at the monument to Zhukov. Caucasians, 60-70 people, repeated the dance, but briefly and crumpled, less than a minute. Russians from the DPNI, other "right" and nationalist organizations, scattered in groups of groups of five to ten people. Here is a generalized portrait of participants, compiled by video recordings. From the "Slavic" side - a short -haired concentrated guy of about fourteen - twenty and small, camouflaged pants, a backpack . Sometimes with a girl. “The question of weapons tormented the fighters on the eve of: to take -“ Polyv ”, not to take - but how? They took short knives, bottles, gauze bandages - to close their faces. ” The Caucasian is a dark-skinned mobile guy of about seventeen-nineteen, shouting with friends at a distance of two steps. There were fair-haired guys similar to the Slavs who behaved in a friendly manner and on equal terms with the Caucasians. There were girls.

But Manezhnaya in the evening of June 22 is not a street in Kondopog or Stavropol. Not the most convenient place and time for such an instrument of “ordinary right” as a mass fight, the “Strelka” lilac: pretty police, riot police. “As the nationalists write in the diaries, so that the events flared up, there were two options: to immediately and abruptly“ jump ”into the Caucasians (it is fraught with the immediate intervention of the police and detention, and unrealistic: the“ Slavic group ”was fragmented and unorganized) or provoking the Caucasians to attack the first (also did not work out: the organization was pumped up).”
What the Caucasians planned is unknown: for about eight hours they headed towards theatrical - and disappeared, as if they were not there. The Slavic army who had lost the enemy began to push the police towards Red Square ...

But Moscow is a large city, places "behind the outskirts of the Kremlin, under the walls of Kitay-Gorod"-more than enough, for a fight. The party goes into the combination stage.

Someone received a call to someone: the Caucasians attacked the Ki-Gorod metro station ... it is not clear who. “At the“ heroes of the Plevna, ”the DPNI says:“ The Caucasians encroached on the most sacred ... ”This version does not seem reliable: as it becomes visible below, the prayer participants were not the goal of the Caucasians, at least because of their appearance.” Perhaps the goal of the "attack" was the same group of "right", previously left with Manezhnaya. “Grabbing (according to them - on the run) bottles, rushing to the rescue. A hail of bottles on the enemy is being brought down-and, rushing to the attack, with the cry "Kon-do-on-ha!", Caucasians from the square. Those run into the lane. " Having won, the "Slavs" leave the square and mostly leave on the subway. “But the Caucasians undertook only a tactical retreat: regrouping and armed in the lane, they return in search of an enemy, which is practically no. With armaturins, disappointed, they randomly run around the square ... Two of the police officer present are confused. ”

Such an outcome of the party does not suit-and the moves are rewritten quickly. The police were cunning: "We were in the know, in the morning they kept the situation under control, this is what supposedly allowed to prevent mass clashes around the city." In fact, from the beginning of events before the arrival of the police, up to half an hour passed.

DPNI and “eyewitnesses” did not lag: ““ Caucasians-de attacked the summer cafe and smashed him, with nationalist cries, beating Russian passers-by. ” In fact, "cafes and visitors were not interested in Caucasian youth - she systematically and unsuccessfully searched specifically for her offenders." There were freely treated with the material and DPNI-TV: they wanted to show the “victory of Russian weapons”-and changed the sequence of events during installation. “In the clips of the DPNI - the opposite, in order to preserve the last word, square and victory for the Slavs.”

Endspil: Players "eat" some figures and return others to the field. Caucasians dispersed - and then the police arrived. “Behind her - DPNI (from where? From the prayer service? Here is confirmation: no one attacked the prayer service - the first clash, and all the sources converge on this, took place on Slavic). The detentions began - people were arrested in the square (sometimes - at the direction of the members of the DPNI, who later came and could not know who the hooligan and who is a onlook), and in the alleys, where they retreated (or where, on the contrary, went to the help) of the street fighters. Roman Dobrokhotov from the movement “We” (sitting at that time in the police department in another case) says that most of the DPNI members were released when Potkin-Belov came to the police department. ”

Anna Karetnikova analyzes the party as a whole:
"Strelka" was. She is a provocation. The goal is "Kondopoga" in Moscow, near the walls of the Kremlin. "Kondopoga" - the murder of Russian Caucasians, or Russians, poured into mass performances against Caucasians. The slogan clarifying the correlation of goals and means in the activities and rhetoric of the "right". The "right" ideologists were not lucky - they did not kill Russian, "Kondopoga" did not take place. "

But in domestic chess, the main question, of course, is "who is to blame?" The answer is to taste: Luzhkov, Putin, "disagreed", police, other dark forces ... Karetnikova leaves this temptation, irresistible for those who work with versions, and not with facts. Here youth aggression is an objective circumstance, it is ridiculous to deny it. And there are many "conspiracy" versions. All of them have equally the right to exist, since they are not confirmed by anything. However ... Moscow chess has many "fields", including virtual, where no one is represented from the listed "conspirators" except ...

“On forums and blogs, massive excitement of the level of condopogue of the DPNI members, incorporating from the spark of conflict on the arena, met. As I meet now - renouncing official statements from my participation in the riots and in their organization. And what is this "participation in the organization"? Just words, successfully shouted into minds at the right time in the right place. It is difficult to cling to them, it is almost impossible for them to be held accountable. ”

Conclusion: “Home Home Harvesting” of our chess players failed:

“In order for the good, loud and sonorous“ Kondopoga ”to be a success, first you need to kill the Russian. ... This unknown young Russian was June 22 as an object of secret desires dreaming of "condopoga", he simply was obliged, startled, settling on the sidewalk under a knife blow, staining the asphalt with his blood ... For some reason he did not fall ... He was lucky. I do not want Russian to die. But too many people really want something else, put on another, depend on another, and collective desires love to come true. Will this Russian be lucky next time? "


Well, the finished party is disassembled, everything is clear with players and figures. Yes, for any town nationalists, not excluding the domestic gamsahurdia, a favorite move on the way to Ferzi is a “victim of a white pawn”. Further - revenge for the murdered. The pogrom as the following “arrow” of the highest and last stage of “folk democracy”. And - the "white" win?

But where, tell me, the game field and the rules of the game came?
Just do not reduce everything to the "interethnic growth" - this is only an attempt to give a simple and rational explanation of the events difficult.

Why does the dispute naturally develops into an “arrow” into a pre -outstanding mass fight? Because it is so started. The police, to the prosecutor’s office, are not applied to the court for various reasons. Some-because "West" and "not in Patsani." Others - because "they will still decide against us." The third - because "they will eat all the same."


For representatives of the authorities, too, there is no reason to get into the minor problems of citizens - why spoil the statistics? In Yandyki, Kondopoga, Stavropol, now in Moscow, power, from a policeman and above, does not interfere in the essence of the conflicts in essence (although, it seems, being "flesh from the flesh of the people", sympathizes with one of the sides). The authorities do not interfere with the filling of household conflicts with "interethnic" content. The police, the prosecutor’s office, the court do not mean their presence and do not contribute to the calm of passions.

The authorities are in itself from the spheres that it is obliged to regulate. A legal vacuum is formed, which fills the "usual right" - the right of custom.

But what about society? His deplorable state was described by Sergei Pashin: "In its extreme expression, the" victory "of the state means the complete elimination of legal civil society, its vegetation in shadow forms." Such a “civil society” is in a state of “war of everyone with all”, spontaneously generating a system of “natural law”, where conflicts are resolved without contacting power, “a private way, for example, by private (arbitration) judges. Fights, thieves' gatherings and courts of honor are also exotic forms of self -regulation of civil society.”

We add here the "arrows" and the pogroms, replacing the police and justice. The latter are ready to suppress not only any protest movement, striving to act within the framework of law (the past year gave this mass of examples), but also any self -organization of society - however, they are incapable or condescending to the manifestations of the "right of custom".

The result is the same "chessboard" on which they build their combinations "grandmaster", ready to sacrifice people like pawns. And while this black and white field for playing without rules exists, the life of a “Russian guy” remains under threat.
