How to collect pro -government rallies

The rally on Poklonnaya was not planned as Podputinsky, but it opened into him and bowed. On February 23, the campaign headquarters of Vladimir Putin is going to hold a 200-thousand-thousand-high rally on Manezhnaya Square. This action should consolidate the success of the action on Poklonnaya Gora, where, according to various estimates, the organizers brought more than 100 thousand people from different cities of the country. As the pro-government rallies gather, the New Times found out according to the head of the Putin’s headquarters Stanislav Govorukhin, he and his colleagues and his colleagues decided to go to the rally on a rally on Poklnaya Gora. Instead of the declared 15 thousand people, on February 4, a “anti-Oara” meal was held on February 4, on February 4, a “anti-Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo-Oore” meal. Which, according to the GUVD, gathered 140 thousand people: Bratsk, Bryansk, Voronezh, Dmitrov, Kaluga, Kemerovo, Kursk, Lipetsk, Novokuznetsk, Podolsk, Ryazan, Samara, Sochi, Tambov, Tver and Rostov-on-Don-someone was delivered by buses, someone and airplanes. Whose money was organized for a walk? “I would never have pulled such a rally myself - there was one technique there! Such equipment - I am stunned, ”the TV presenter Sergey Kurginyan, the ideologist of Poklonnaya and the organizer of the previous“ anti -Orange ”rally, which took place on December 24 on the Sparrow Hills and gathered 3 thousand participants, admitted on December 24. - I am a middle -sized businessman and can pull a small rally. And in this event I did not put a dime. ” When asked who financed the worship, Kurginyan replied: “There were some businessmen who offered their services. These are people who are not related to Putin's business - it is very alarming, but they have the opportunity to hold an event ten times more luxurious than the past. ”

"

Costs went to transport, accommodation, food, about 15 thousand rubles per person plus scene design

"

The money by the official applicants of the rally were three organizations: the Kurginyanovsky movement “The essence of the time”, the Congress of Russian communities and the regional public fund for the support of heroes of the Soviet Union and Heroes of the Russian Federation named after General Kocheshkov.

Demonstrator and his decadent poster

The congress of Russian communities (KRO) refused comments, but informally reported: yes, they were, but without any financial participation, they only brought flags. And who paid for everything else is unknown to them. “The Congress of Russian communities did not conduct street events for ten years,” says Andrei Savelyev, former State Duma deputy of the IV convocation and former ally of Dmitry Rogozin, the current Deputy Prime Minister and leader of Kro. - All rallies of “United Russia” are carried out by hiring and taking the youth from other cities. I know that people were taken to this rally-for example, from Rostov-on-Don, half the country was taken in buses later. ” The support of General Kocheshkov’s heroes met the correspondent of The New Times with a scarecrow of the Bear and the cry of vice president, Hero of Russia Alexander Astapov: “Such as you, journalists must be driven to the damn mother!” The President of the organization, also the Hero of Russia, Vyacheslav Sivko explained that the fund acted as one of the applicants of the rally at the Poklonnaya and turned to the Federal Security Service (it is responsible for the security of the first persons of the country) with a request to ensure security because he feels anxiety. “I am a participant in the fighting, a war in Afghanistan, a reserve colonel, as part of the Tula division, we provided the rule of law in Baku,” Sivko said. - I know what happens when people do not hear each other, and we do not want to allow the same here, in the heart of Russia. We do not want us, like in Africa, peaceful life will turn into what is happening there now. We ourselves - for honest elections, but there are legal ways of solving. And now we see that Nemtsov and Kudrin flash there, these are people offended by power. We wanted to show that there is no need to escalate the situation. ” The rally on Poklonnaya, according to Sivko, does not cause any anxiety, unlike rallies in Bolotnaya and Sakharov. Sivko first answered questions about the financing of the rally, the scene, they say, agreed to make very cheaply with good people. Then he admitted: the fund took over part of the organization’s expenses, but he refused to name the amount of the contribution and the total estimate. The fund receives funds from sponsorship donations, as well as from budget grants for its own programs.

“There were a number of regional businesses who took over the organization of a rally. The main costs went to transport, gasoline, road, accommodation, food, ”a source in the State Duma told The New Times. - The final amount - about 15 thousand rubles per person plus the scene. The main stream of financing went from a non-public business from the military-industrial complex, which is now overseas (Deputy Prime Minister responsible for the "defense industry") Dmitry Rogozin. He is now sitting on a very large dough and solves the issue of the participation of companies in defense contracts, so this gives him the opportunity to influence him. ”

On the second poster among Putin’s faces, a hipster is depicted and the signature “It's time to change”. To whom and in what - it is not clear to support Putin “did you see how many people came? People could not get to the rally because the metro was crowded! "Antioran" activity is growing! " - says Kurginyan and notes that initially the action on Poklonnaya Gora was not a rally “For Putin”. However, people who voluntarily came to the Poklonnaya Gora are really in the support of the presidential candidate and see the purpose of this rally. Alexey Solnyshkin, a 30-year-old entrepreneur, a textile trader, arrived at a rally by car from his hometown of Shui, Ivanovo region. He spent 2500 rubles on the trip and says that it was worth it. “It went to support Vladimir Putin, to prevent crooked politicians to power, to show the willingness to protect his point of view, by the way, up to the power scenario,” Alexey told The New Times. About the same, Eugene, a 32-year-old analyst of a large Moscow development company, for whom a rally on Poklonnaya Gora was his first rally in his life. “For me, it was a rally precisely against the“ orange ”threat - I sincerely share the rhetoric of Starikov, Kurginyan, Wasserman, Shevchenko,” says Evgeny. “In my opinion, those who go to Bolotnaya, without understanding, are puppets in someone else's game.” “Nobody paid me anything,” said the 33-year-old manager of the trading company Ivan. - I believe that rumors about payment and the threat of dismissal are greatly exaggerated. I arrived on the subway, and it took me half an hour to leave the station to the street. I, like many others, are afraid of the revolution, because I see how the United States behaves in the world, and I understand that they can take advantage of the convenient moment to cut out the sovereignty of our country, ”Ivan explains the motive of their participation in the rally.

The bow “Vladimir Putin is Goodwin, great and terrible: all the time says something, but no one has ever seen these things,” Andrei Savelyev is angry. - Fictive government, fictitious rallies. It is not clear whether Russia exists still or only in the pictures of the TV. These rallies are funny shelves and plywood scenery. Single persons, city crazy, plague. ” Indeed, there are many evidence that most of the mass was collected at the expense of the administrative resource. “As for the participation of such a number of people, of course, when something is organized by power, they always talk about an administrative resource. I do not exclude that there were some elements of this resource here,-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also admitted. “But it is impossible to collect 134 or 190 thousand people on one resource.” The possibilities of the admin resource Putin, however, are underestimated. Only on the hotline of the Public Chamber received more than 200 calls from citizens with stories about how they were forced to participate in the Prooputinsky rally. So, for example, according to the source of The New Times in the Russian Post, this company was obliged to provide 600 people: “Everyone who was traveling on buses was shown in advance on the map the place where a person with a piece of paper stood and celebrated all those who came.” About the same thing happened with the employees of Sberbank, Rosneft, Mosgaz, Mosvodostok, Mosvodokanal, Eastern electric networks (VES, branch of OJSC MOESSK), Moscow Chopov Capital Directors, MGMU named after Sechenov. Sergei, an employee of the oil refinery in Kirishas of the Leningrad Region, said: “Two buses with employees left our refineries to Moscow. As a reward, they promised an additional time. ” Alexandra, an employee of the Kuibyshevsky refineries, also arrived in Moscow with colleagues by bus: they promised an unscheduled prize for visiting the rally. Lyudmila Kuzmina, the head of the Samara unit of the Voilk Association, confirms: “To participate in Moscow rallies, employees of the Rosneft security unit, which belongs to the Kuibyshev refinery, was brought to a military sanatorium in the Moscow Region on the eve of February 4, accommodation and food for free, 10 thousand rubles are paid for the trip.” According to Kuzmina, they did not even send home employees home, they will return to Samara only after the rally on February 23. There is a story by a driver of one of the buses on the blogs, who claims that after a rally on Poklonnaya Gora, activists from the regions were taken to the children's camp in the village of Valuevo, where they provided me with food and left for the night.

Another way to collect people is the professional website of the masses.ru. In the section "Moscow. Political extras. Paid. ”Dozens of posts with an appeal are still available to go to the Poklonnaya. The amounts vary from 300 to 1,500 rubles. There are the stories of those who went, and those who did not receive payment or waited it for several hours in the cold. “I was on February 4 on Poklonnaya Gora. As promised, 1000 rubles were paid. The only thing that I did not like was waited for the organizer with money for a very long time. Finished somewhere at 14.00, and he arrived at 5 hours ”; “And they threw us. They promised to pay 700 "; “He was at the Osrosov, gathered at 10.30 in Taganskaya, then the general construction near the temple of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, about five hundred people were gathered and divided into groups (about 20.25), all went to the metro to the worship and back to the place of the fee, where the money was distributed, our foreman promised us 1,500, ended around 17.00, gave out the money”; “They got drunk, then surrounded the larue without Palev, then finished it, when it ended, they haave it

Sergei Kurginyan speaks out at a rally - both against the “orange plague”, and now against Putin in the wave of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin, he intends to ride a “anti -Orange” wave and is preparing for the next rally. According to The New Times, Alexei Anisimov, deputy chairman of the staff of the candidate Putin, there will be so many people who want to visit a rally on Manezhnaya from all over the country that not everyone will fit. Differently ranges really descend into the regions: who should provide how many participants should provide. For example, the Oktyabrsky (Bashkiria) administration of the Republican leadership instructed to gather 10 people from each educational institution for sending to Moscow for a rally on February 23.
