Navalny and Kirov

The court continuing in the regional center terminated local residents

Young people from the headquarters with posters and leaflets arouse interest among the Kirovites (on posters - quotes from the famous cartoon "Condition Koloboki")

Vyatka girls smile: they like positive young people in brand new white T -shirts with a large inscription "Putin thief". Young men (from 20 to 50, for every taste, but more than 25–30-year-olds) are suitable, greeted, bowed, begin to be interested-did the girls hear about the trial of Navalny? The young men give out leaflets, different: somewhere it is written about the process itself, somewhere about the business of the Rotenbergs and Timchenko, somewhere about the Rosyama project. Someone asks again ...

"Anti -corruption committee named after Stalin "

Stalin across the road from Navalny

Listenes are taken by older people, especially the aunts. I remembered, however, one displeased uncle: he came out of a rather good foreign car, did not take a leaflet, scolded us and said that Putin was good, because he gave his mother an apartment. The uncle himself did not look deprived, and the age was Balzakovsky, so that the homelessness of the mother was clearly related to his conscience.

One Kirov taxi driver shook folk logic: “You are clowns,” he says, “and your Navalny is a thief, but Putin, he didn’t come to our Kirov and did not steal anything here.” By the way, the taxi driver was bad with the texture: Putin went down in the history of Kirov with the shortest visit and a five -minute meeting with Governor Nikita Belykh, but it was a long time ago. All silver spoons have been preserved that a grateful Putin voter smells with an interpretation.

Activists (and these are Vyatka, and Muscovites, and the Petersburgers, and people from many cities and weights) said that a month and a half ago, when the first stretch marks about Putin appeared in the city and the first youths in similar T -shirts, people reacted differently - they shuddered and awarded their eyes, as if they suddenly saw a naked woman on the street. And now they don’t turn away - they tend to talk about it. They just understood one important thing: the courage of the city takes.

At Navalny headquarters on Orlovskaya Street, good. These guys somehow know how to organize an elegant office life in the style of “Grange” (“rabbits”) without much external tension, which is the exact opposite of the style of the Duma of the REPAIR DEPARTION in the Bolshoi Theater. But on the same street, exactly opposite, a wild sign: “The regional anti -corruption committee named after I.V. Stalin ”with the corresponding frightening portrait in all nonsense. There was no life in this office, although there are quite a lot of communists in the city; And we met mostly sympathetic and non -aggressive, by the confrontation of our accepting the dream of the forever gone youth for political orientation. Good harmless people. And we did not meet living Stalinists.

Two ships ...

This inscription is no longer shocking

On the day when a large team of Rus Sitting came to the city, Navalny had two ships. One-according to Kirovles in the Leninsky District Court, the second in Pervomaisky, where Navalny disputed the legality of the search at his headquarters (a lawyer’s premises, by the way) with the seizure of a 100,000th circulation of leaflets for an examination for extremism. The first court began at 9 in the morning, the second at 14.00, it remained only to move from court to court - neither coffee could not be in coffee, to buy water, and no buffets for citizens were provided in the courts. I’ll keep silent about toilets for citizens - it’s scary, it’s just very scary, and the judges have all their own: both the buffet and the toilet, they are up to the needs of citizens - as before (obscenely) the door. By the way, we were taught how to express us in the first court, where prosecutors announced the illegal wiretapping of Navalny and Officer, and different words that seemed indecent to them, they replaced the “obscene word” with the expression. It turned out Zhvanetsky, although for one word to the letter “x” the prosecutors made a sudden exception and pressed him strongly. It is still not clear that the horseradish remained. And in the May Day court it was completely ridiculous: Judge Tatyana Purtova, in front of the amazed public (including the touched film crew of NTV), threw a couple of documents into the “Navalny case”. And when she was captured by the hand of Navalny, she was not embarrassed, she pretended to be so necessary. And I took revenge - we all understood that she would refuse Navalny, but no one expected that he and his and the audience in the courtroom for five hours in a row, and she was simply absent for three hours, we even worried if something happened to her ...

By the way, the bailiffs pleased in the courts. It seems to be the same as everywhere, but not the same: they don’t rude, the hands do not dissolve, although they don’t know the law, they somehow feel, do not impudent. Yes, and the occupation forces (in the sense of the police) here are nice: they are ordered to grab them - they are grabbed, but without sadism, I would even say, with interest to talk with the detainees on the theme of Putin Thief to increase the educational level and civil self -awareness. In general, people are mostly pretty, without evil. Navalny, of course, will be imprisoned - but they will remember with pleasure.
