Right-wing radicals will advise the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate

On September 30, 2009, the head of the information and public relations department of the Moscow police department, Viktor Biryukov, announced the creation of a youth section under the Public Council of the Moscow police department, which included 23 people from various political parties and movements, including right-wing radicals. This was also announced by the head of the Moscow police department Vladimir Kolokoltsev.

The section included representatives of the youth branches of United Russia (Ours), Just Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party, the Left Front, Just Russia, Resistance, as well as the Slavic Union (SS) and " Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI).

Biryukov said that "this is a certain experiment to put everyone at the round table . " At the same time, he noted that the participants in the youth section will not be members of the Public Council, but will "work under it . "

On October 1, 2009, the head of the public relations department of the Russian Interior Ministry, Valery Gribakin, stated that representatives of radical nationalist organizations were not included in the public council at the Moscow police department. Thus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs tried to disavow the results of the council held the day before.

V. Gribakin stated that "the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its structural divisions have not considered and are not considering the possibility of involving in the councils themselves and expert groups under the councils persons convicted and brought to administrative responsibility from associations that ignore the law and systematically oppose the police" . He suggested that "General Kolokoltsev was misunderstood ," but in reality "it was about the fact that violators of the order would be called to law, including members of the public council . "

However, Anatoly Lysenko, chairman of the public council at the Moscow police department, confirmed the information that at a meeting on September 30, representatives, including DPNI and the Slavic Union, were admitted to the youth section of the public council. "There was a list of 23 names, we approved them. We decided that we should accept everyone, even DPNI." "We need to communicate with difficult guys, try to convince them. After all, they are also citizens of our country ," he added.

Vladimir Basmanov, coordinator of the DPNI-Moscow, said that "a year ago we were contacted by representatives of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, who asked to identify a person so that he would be in constant contact with the Central Internal Affairs Directorate on our behalf" and that "the Central Internal Affairs Directorate and the DPNI have questions to each other that " I'd like to discuss .

The leader of the Slavic Union (SS) Dmitry Demushkin said that the candidacy of the representative of the SS to work in the public council "was agreed with the Central Internal Affairs Directorate in the winter ," and named the name of this representative - Dmitry Bakharev (Dm.Demushkin's lawyer).
