"United Russia" became bad from the "summer of freedom"

Municipal deputies from United Russia actually disrupted the vote on the fate of the protest camp in the square near Kudrinskaya Square. Opposition deputies, who in the council - the majority, were going to give the camp the status of the festival and transfer it to Tverskaya Boulevard. This would allow the whiteworms to officially conduct lectures and seminars, as well as put up tents, dry closets and field kitchens.

The draft resolution was published on the website of Okopayabai.rf . Elena Tkach, deputy of the municipality, suggested introducing this issue on the agenda.

“If the event does not receive an official status, it will continue, people will begin to go to other places, riot police will follow them, it will be pogroms,” she said. “I propose to transfer everything to the peaceful direction of the holiday.” State Duma deputies who were present at the meeting, and civil activists told Publicpost, why the authorities prefer pogroms to the holiday.

Dmitry Gudkov, State Duma deputy from the Fair Russia party

- The municipal meeting was specially torn. We could achieve voting for the festival "Summer of Freedom", but when the representatives of United Russia understood this, we artificially suspended the meeting - we took a break for 15 minutes due to the fact that the allegedly presidential (Elena Denisova, "United Russia" - PP) became bad. After 15 minutes, the quorum was no longer able to collect. At the same time, one of the municipal deputies from the Communist Party, he was 21 years old, was detained. Now he is not released from the military registration and enlistment office. In general, the circus is all over.

What will you do if the camp on the "barricade" is still closed?

- There are many points on Presnya, we will find. There were two places proposed - in the area of ​​pure ponds and Tver Boulevard.

Ilya Ponomarev, State Duma deputy from the Fair Russia party

What happened at the meeting?

- "United Russia" tore off the quorum - they took the deputy from the Communist Party of the Communist Party to the military registration and enlistment office of the deputy to find out if he is evaded from the army. I don’t know what actually is: he is evading or not - but how could they choose him as a deputy and not to check? (Laughs.) As a result, they took away, the quorum was destroyed, and everyone dispersed.

When will the second meeting be scheduled?

- On May 31, appointed. Maybe they have something about an extraordinary convocation in their charter.

Did you manage to discuss the organization of the Freedom Summer festival?

- No. Why began to tear off quorum? Because they did not expect the military cunning that we will do, opposition deputies. The information was originally thrown, and the authorities managed to prepare. Dohren of local residents from a skyscraper on the "barricade", including a veteran cell, a disabled cell, arranged a certain obstruction. Moreover, maybe there were not only local residents there, but it does not matter. We understood that it would be, and made a horse’s move - we offered to transfer the camp from the “barricade” to Tver Boulevard, where there are no residential buildings. For United Russia, this became a shock, as soon as they understood the essence of the sentence, the presiding judge affected the patient and went to call, and returned after the quorum was torn off. I spoke with the locals. They would have seen these United Russia as local residents supported me together . (Laughs.) I would also be indignant if, at the entrance to the house, there were constantly skirmishes with riot police, screams and so on. So that this is not, it is necessary to move into a normal civilized direction, to legalize everything.

There is information that Tver Boulevard is going to close for reconstruction.

- Well, let's redraw everything now, I will presume all red. Let's block Taganka again - we have the majority in the municipal meeting there. We will have two districts in which everything is closed at all. (Laughs.)

Where will the camp be based?

- We continue in the same mode: no one violates anything. Officially, we are not making a decision on where the camp will be. While the tactics are simple: while the police are physically expelled, we stand where we are standing. We do not violate anything from the point of view of the law, and the police understand this. We do not want conflicts and detentions. We will walk and blame. The longer this happens, the more people will gather. If anything, we will gather in another square. True on our side.

Nikolai Lyaskin, one of the organizers of the "Summer of Freedom"

- For freedom, we do not need approval. We wanted to do everything according to the law, once again we are illegally prohibited. We do not get used to it. So, we will do according to the intended scheme without coordinating. The holiday "Summer Freedom" will be, and it will pass, perhaps in the same place, on the "barricade". What we started as part of this holiday will be carried out. But the authorities suddenly decided to intensively repair the streets in the places where we hold meetings. This, on the one hand, is good, many of our comrades in the yards are a deplorable situation, one must somehow, probably, spend the holidays of freedom. In general, in fact, camps should be everywhere, both in the country and in Moscow. The Freedom Festival is born inside a person, and then goes out into the street. Where is a free person, there is a holiday of freedom.

Dmitry, musician

I take part in #Occupayabay from the very beginning, from the "heroes of the Plevna." I saw people, came up, talked, then began to go to pure ponds. There I played every day, entertained everyone. I like here and there. People are the same. Of course, I have a positive attitude to the legalization of the camp. It doesn't matter how it will be called. The beliefs of people will not change from this.

Andrey and Egor, musicians

A: Let them call it, as they want, the main thing is that they let us go for a walk and rebel peacefully. I think riot police are also exhausted. They are not comfortable to live in autozaks either, so I think they drive us, and then again they will leave alone for a week or two.

E: If the name "Festival" is adopted, then this event will acquire a completely legalized nature that will cease to give the law enforcement agencies to take some power actions in relation to people. And people will still be able to express their position. It will be calmer. The transfer of the camp to Tverskaya Boulevard is not good - in terms of the psychological mood of people. But they just defeated the camp, only tried to gain a foothold, but we must again move and start all over again.

Egor, a regular camp of the camp

I have been participating in the action from the very first day, from May 7. I live here constantly. I have a car and a trailer. There were more encouraging, there were more shops, but it’s good here.

It makes no difference to me who says what. Deputies should not offer anything, offer to change the name, offer to transfer the camp ... This is all the executive power - it is also Putin, and the opposition should sit here. They (deputies - PP) are constantly lying. This action is already legal, we have a 31st article of the Constitution. Citizens can gather peacefully and hold meetings. And this does not require any notifications. I don't care what they will call it.

Dmitry, in the camp works in the information center

I like "barricade", because it is closer to my house, plus there are a lot of convenient institutions and the subway nearby. But, unfortunately, there is a limited space. I am not the point of how it will be called - a festival or not a festival. In legalization, there are pros and cons. On the one hand, we can be here as much as it will fit, and on the other, then this event will lose its meaning, since now it is a struggle, and it is it that attracts people. If all this becomes legal, it is not known who will come here after that. Most likely, by the end of the month, this will all lose the protest potential and will become another good.

Irina Leonidovna, mother of 3 children

I spent the night at home for all the time of this action. It was more comfortable on pure ponds. This is already a acquired place, we knew what and how. But nothing, if they drive it out of here, we will find another place. As a festival, we do not need to legalize us. We are not a festival, we are a camp of protest movement! If you go in power completely on the occasion, they will simply reduce us by 0 and show us that we are just hanging out here. And we are not afraid of riot police, he steals money from us, eats us for us - and nothing.

Barry -ups (security)

We perform the security function. Many came from other regions, here is one of us - from the Vladimir region. No one is leaving anywhere. It was more convenient in pure ponds - the park is more, more people ... Do they want to call us a festival? If he is called "not the president" - we are ready to be called a festival!

Natasha, works in the kitchen

I'm here the first day. We walked, saw people, came up and decided to help. It’s not possible to stay overnight, since I am still a minor, and my parents control me. In our school, many do not talk about this at all ... Most in parallel, and parents do not let the rest. The name "Festival" - why not? Good name. Here, music, communication, food - what else is necessary for happiness! I can’t understand why this is illegal. We do nothing wrong! If you need to legalize this, then please. But I do not see the point in this. What is illegal here? Why do we need to ask someone?

Alexey, studies and works

On #Occupayabay was 3 times. I go to work in a suit, so it's difficult to spend the night in the camp. It was more likely on the clean ones, there was some kind of too open place. And riot police are walking ... Stupidity, of course, change the name ... I do not understand why you need to do all this under such words. People are against, people gathered, they discuss, somehow communicate-why should this be somehow twisted? I want everything to be calm here. Although this is a controversial issue, since the more action, the more people.

After the hard acceleration of the Million Millions, on May 6, civil protests continue on the streets of Moscow. At the monument to Abai Kunanbaev on pure ponds, an opposition camp existed for almost a whole week, which was also dispersed by OMON employees. Protesters do not leave the streets of the city.
