ZEK voting

On March 4, The New Times correspondents went to work as observers, members of the commissions with a decisive voice, entered mobile groups and saw with their own eyes how the victory of the freshly elected president was smuggled

Butyrka wants Putin. “Six seconds, ma! Good people, ma! No problem, ma! Prokhorov called on her personally, ma! ” - Under this refrain of Major Adam Abdulaevich, I finally wake up in a passing Butyr prison. Sunday, March 4, 7.30 in the morning, from the training of observers at the headquarters of the candidate Prokhorov, I made the main thing: the laws say nothing about closed areas for voting; I can not enter into conversation with voters before the will; I can’t touch anything with my hands; It is necessary to monitor the book of voters and follow the list of voters to the safe, which also needs to be looked after. I was given a detailed guide to action, the requirements for the issuance of the protocol, forms of the observer's complaints. In the midst of the training, they began to call from prisons. “I have already been convicted, my sentence has entered into legal force, and I was included in the voters list, although I can’t vote,” the conscious-suggested citizen of pre-trial detention center No. 6 complained. “The detainees were not taken to Butyrka,” they reported from pre-trial detention center No. 2.

These two topics - the vote of the convicted persons affected in the rights and the refusal of prisons to accept the “contingent” without absenteeism - I was the first to add questions to the election commission of the site No. 3222 (pre -trial detention center No. 2, that is, Butyrka). Put water, nuts and dried fruits in her bag, took the “road map” and went to prison.

"

In a square opposite the name of the candidate Putin, citizens painted crows, many - French lilies, but mostly tried either to clearly sign or take their last name so that it was clear who exactly for Putin

"

The location of the Butyr officers met journalists and an observer on the street, after we pass all the cordons. I must say that they looked brilliant - in Butyrka, a festival of popular will was felt, supported by a distinctly perceptible smell of fresh buns.

By law, the observer should see all the urns for voting on the site, but in prison conditions this is impossible. Employees mainly voted in the administrative part - where the office of the chief of Butyrki Sergey Veniaminovich Telyatnikov, next to the main entrance for employees. This is the first urn. The “contingent” voted in the corridor where the camera was, respectively, a table with longitudinal (on duty on the corps) along with the Urnaya, a voting cab and information about the candidates moved from floor to floor. This is the second urn. The third urn was on the hospital - this is above the temple, and the fourth in the “Koshkin house”, this is a prison psychiatric hospital, she is alone for all of Moscow.

Knowing the device of Butyrki well, I hoped that there would be at least four observers - according to the number of urns. In addition to journalists, who were many, by 7.30 a.m. three observers arrived in Butyrka - two from Zhirinovsky plus me. It was then that I first heard: “Good people, ma! Six seconds, ma! No problem, ma! " In some way, using only these phrases, Major Adam Abdulaevich, he was also the deputy chairman of the Butyrskaya PEC, explained to the two Zhirinovites that they had the documents incorrectly executed, but I have the right thing, although I had some kind of problem with a confidant, but Prokhorov called me about the PEC and TIC and personally entrusted me, Ma.

In general, I will be in Butyrka alone. It is impossible to observe one, but not to leave. On the other hand, in connection with the specifics of the object, which is known that only the “contingent” and employees can vote, the stuffing and “carousel” do not threaten me. There may be administrative pressure on voters, but I have the right to talk to them after the act of will. And even more so I can talk with the employees who voted by absenteeism - these are those who are on duty. Yes, the mobile phone, as it should be, was taken from me at the entrance: so the phones of lawyers and experts issued to me at the training could be forgotten.

Belief letters arrived at the main site, met with the PEC members, exchanged the verification diplomas, and the elections began. No violations were observed, and it could not be observed, with one observer. And I went to talk with the head of the pre -trial detention center about everything. At first she asked about the voting convicts: after all, as soon as the verdict comes into force, a person has no right to vote, but documents from the court confirming the deprivation of his electoral rights come with pigeon mail. Sergei Telyatnikov calmly confirmed that it is: after all, the list of voters is formed according to the documents, and if there are no documents from the court in the pre -trial detention center, then there is no reason to deprive the citizen of the right of vote, that is, we together came to the conclusion that this fir is regulated by law. Then she asked about the refusal of Butyrki to take detainees without absenteeisms - it turned out, and that’s true. Three days before the announced elections between all prisons and the IVS (temporary detentional insulators), transportation stops - the prison can take the detainee only with a absenteeism, and where did the detainee get the absenteeism? So all fresh replenishment votes in the IVS, and how it works there - God news.

Then I wanted details about the prison and disgrace, and on the site it seems to be inappropriate about it, and Telyatnikov and I went to the office. In the reception room we were met by a virgin marvelous beauty - a secretary. Before the sexual scandal with the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service San Sanych Reimer, there were still a day, but the beauty, which, as it turned out later, was also attached to the brains, I reacted immediately and asked what this girl was doing in prison. The girl was from the ideological-the officer’s daughter, with some kind of story, to ask about which it was inappropriate, something was so difficult there.

And I began to torture Televyatnikov with questions about transmission, about medicines, about stages and about any urgent. That is why oranges are possible in prison in prison, but tangerines cannot be? It turned out that this is the ban on figures from the Onishchenko party, like other prison grocery prohibitions - recently, for example, all lard were seized in prison and banned him to transfer, this is also from there.

But I didn’t have to talk for a long time - we have to follow the buildings, communicate with voters. And we went.

Behind the bars, the voter does not go to the urn, but the urn - to the voter: she, along with the table on the case on the corps and the voting room, moved from the floor to the floor on the floor on the march of prison voters vote without passports. An identity document is a chamber card. The voter’s chamber card to a cheerful table, covered with a salad tablecloth, brings the duty officer to the corps. And at the table sits a member of the PEC, it is also a longitudinal one, that is, a duty officer on the corps. According to one voters are approaching the table, they call completely surname-and-patronymic, date of birth, camera, date of receipt in jail, and articles of the prosecution. The longitudinal checks what was said with a recorded chamber card. It gives out a ballot for voting, after which the prisoner signs in the voter book. From the book of voters it is clear that half of the prisoners have hardly have a passport - if there is a passport, its number is recorded in the voter book. The rest vote according to the certificate.

“Last time, ma, we went one hundred percent, ma! But this is at the expense of employees, ma! Due to the absenteeism, ma! " - I did not immediately realize that Adam Abdulaevich forever accompanying me reports to me about the turnout. "And what, there are no thieves in the law in Butyrka now?" - I asked Adam Abdulaevich, knowing firmly that representatives of criminal subcultures do not vote. "I can't know, ma!" - reported Adam Abdulaevich. Looking ahead, I’ll say that in Butyrka from the “contingent” there was only one person who categorically refused to vote. Which does not mean its presumably monopoly thieves' status - most likely, representatives of criminal subcultures do not have Russian citizenship.

“Do not take off your faces, ma! He will write a complaint through a lawyer, we will have trouble, ma! ” - cried Adam Abdulaevich to reporters. "I also can not shoot me, ma, I do not give my permission, ma!" He turned to me as an almost hives: “Unfortunately, the law has become more humane now, Ma.” I did not have enough moral forces to ask Adam Abdulaevich about humanization.

Zhirinovsky - 19 votes. Zyuganov - 22. Mironov - 17. Prokhorov - 73. Putin - 1150

"

Jesus in prison I began to talk with voters. I tried to approach those whom I don’t know, because I was afraid to not restrain myself and blurt out excess - for example, when I saw how Volodya Makarov, Tanya Makarova’s husband voted (the famous and monstrous “pedophile’s business from the road fund”), I even tried to sharply study my laces.

She went to a high beautiful guy about twenty, introduced herself, he shook his head - does not want to communicate. “This is not a journalist, this is an observer from Prokhorov,” Adam Abdulaevich sternly said to the guy. I fluttered something questioning about the freedom of will, the guy kissed his teeth: "Free." At that moment, I saw his eyes - you know, completely black, I saw such in the series “Supernatural”, about two brothers who chase the devil, so they identified him in such eyes.

Then she went to the smiling young blonde with an intricate tattoo - vignettes from the left shoulder to the right ear. “I have been sitting on February 15, changed three cameras, article 111. I voted for your candidate, we have the whole 111st voting for Prokhorov on Butyrka!”

Only this was not enough. Art. 111 of the Criminal Code - “intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”, usually a fight.

We moved to another floor. Grandfather went out to vote, reported: born in 1937. Oh! Grandfather got rid of Adam Abdulaevich: "Can I get acquainted with the candidates?" He studied the blue poster with candidates who unexpectedly similar to the dead in the provincial morgue, long and carefully. A dozen journalists, three dozen officers and employees of the pre -trial detention center did not rush grandfather, and he was drawn up. Then a beautiful young man Eugene came out of the same camera (I remembered - No. 100) - as it turned out, born in 1974. The young man was cheerful and elusively similar to Vasya Yakemenko from Rosmolodezh.

We went to the hospital, went to the Koshkin House, where the psychiatrist duty officer Alexander Sergeyevich Sorokin complained to the PEC No. 1613, where the day before he was not given an absenteeism, and he had an active civil position.

At the “Koshkin house”, something like a house Orthodox church was discovered - I must say that made a strong impression, because it is arranged in a regular chamber with a transparent window on the iron door. I was not left for a long time that Jesus was sitting here - I saw in Perm the wooden sculpture “Jesus in prison”, as if she were made from the nature of the Butyrsky “Koshkino House”.

The synagogue I tried to cope with the excitement after the “Koshkino House”, and I least of all wanted my indifference to see officers, especially the calfs. I don’t know why-probably, because of the developed habit, not showing the jailers of their true feelings. But the calf understood. He let him silently walk along the corridors in silence, good and Adam Abdulaevich went somewhere. We walked somewhere, to the next, as it seemed to me, Urne, and suddenly I was in the synagogue. In the real synagogue, with a sweat from the Torah, with a minor, with sidurs (prayer books). I touched the Mezuza - as expected, on the door jamb, and noticed that I did it alone. I quickly put a scarf on my head - although there is no rabbi, and not Saturday, it is still inconvenient.

This synagogue was opened by Berl Lazar, and the Rebbe Gurevich every Thursday and every Saturday comes here to believers. There are more than 30 people. There are much more Muslims, the mosque is arranged here for them, and the imam of Moscow comes here, said Sergey Veniaminovich, the head of the pre -trial detention center, whom I began to look at with great interest.

She asked him about how he thought of the synagogue. He said that at first there were no people who wanted to visit the synagogue - in any case, this is how he was reported by an employee specially sent in cameras with a survey. "How did you ask?" - "Well, did he open the camera, shouted:" Is there Jews? " “They told me that there are no Jews, I went on.” Sergei Veniaminovich repeated the contingent survey, changing the wording: "Are there any people who want to talk with the rabbi?" But there were many of them. Including several of my acquaintances sitting here in the economic art. 159, part 4.

... And the pre -trial detention center votes for Putin. There were 1,500 bulletins. The counting took place under the song of Vasya Oblomov “I’m going to Magadan” to Magadan. It was time to close the site and count the voices. By that time, we were left together with Sasha Astakhova, a photojournalist from the newspaper Vedomosti. They closed the site, examined the urns, performed all the necessary actions - Sasha took all this away, and I poked my nose everywhere.

They began to count. After about 20 minutes, the young officer was indignant: "What is it that I have one Putin?" They shook him. Exactly at 20.30, I looked at the clock, the question was: "Does anyone have Zyuganov?" At 20.32, the first ballot for Mironov was discovered.

One of the members of the commission showed Adam Abdulaevich a slightly torn ballot. Adam Abdulaevich showed it to me - it was a voice for Putin. “A normal ballot, not spoiled,” I said. “No, no and no, ma! - answered Adam Abdulaevich. - I understand that everything is for Putin, ma! But the law is the law, ma! " I did not argue.

On one bulletin opposite the surname “Putin” in the square was clearly bred: “No rallies!” On the other - the inscription "Black Tsar". Even in a square opposite the name of the candidate Putin, citizens painted crows, many - French lilies, but mostly they tried to either clearly sign it or take their last name so that it was clear who exactly for Putin.

There were fewer fantasies in the Bulletins for Prokhorov: in several Prokhorov, he was marked by the sign of the dollar in the appropriate square, and that’s all. For Mironov, Zyuganov and Zhirinovsky voted boring. One checkmark was placed upside down, but only one.

"Stop!" -At some point, the chairman of the PEC No. 3222 shouted in a terrible voice, Comrade Stryapukhin and Leo rushed to one bulletin. It turned out that the ballot for Mironov fell into a stack for Bulletins Zyuganov. Adam Abdulaevich suppressed the discussion of the incident: "Talk is an extra chatter, ma!" In the silence, Vasya Oblomov sings from the computer, just the last verse: “To Magadan, fucking!” I went to Sasha Astakhova: “You hear? And then they will not believe me. " Sasha had square eyes. We both understood that we were seeing the real result of a real vote. Even if people were forced to vote differently from what they wanted, they had the opportunity to give us to know. At least the next day, at least through a wife or lawyer.

The piles four times recalled ballots lay on chairs, each of which was a nominal. The chair with the inscription "Zhirinovsky" looked defiantly sorry.

"Your mother!" - Adam Abdulaevich clearly said, looking around the chairs.

There were 1,500 bulletins. 1281 people voted, including the journalist of Radio "Freedom" Christina Gorelik, in the absenteeism.

Zhirinovsky - 19 votes. Zyuganov - 22. Mironov - 17. Prokhorov - 73. Putin - 1150.

And I went to the office to Sergey Veniaminovich to ask for tea. It was necessary to wait for the final protocol and take a copy with you. Telytinov changed into jeans and a white sweater by that time, and we talked for a long time and sadly. And when they said goodbye, he told me: "You come to us." And suddenly I realized that I don’t know what to answer.
