Green David against Oil Goliath
On Tuesday, the first of Greenpeace activists received a decision to terminate the criminal case for the Promotion of the Prirazloma platform of all 30 Greenpeace activists, journalists and crew members of the Arctic Sunrise vessel, accused of hooliganism for the rally of the Russian oil and Podrazlomnaya Platform, agreed to amnesty. They will not seek the truth in Russian courts, because they do not believe in their justice, ”the shipyard Colin Russell wrote about this in his statement to the investigator. Now the case is at the Investigative Committee: on what it is with which he will close the criminal cases of the Arctic thirty with how soon he will close the Russian visas and go home.
The first decision on the termination of the criminal case was received on Tuesday, the official Twitter "Greenpeace Russia" reports.
However, even if the rest of the papers are received today and tomorrow, on Christmas to the Greenpeace foreign activists, it is clearly not to be in time, but you can still hope to meet the New Year with the family. This does not mean that everything will leave at once-part of the crew can stay and wait for the release from the arrest of the Arctic Sunrise vessel to leave Russia on board.
As for driving the car, according to Dmitry Litvinov, he tried to settle in such a place of Sweden, where he simply does not need a car. Aiza Oulakhsen , who lives in the Netherlands, said that she has a driver’s license, but she also does not use the car, preferring to ride a bicycle. The question with the vegetarianism, to which she is inclined, like many other Greenpeace ecologists, Isa decided simply, but not radically: she no longer buys meat to cook it at home, but if she is invited to visit or to a restaurant, she does not refuse meat dishes that they offer her. But Camille from Argentina honestly admitted that she loves meat and was not going to abandon it.
- In our work related to climatic changes, we arrange such shares constantly. Yes, the monster, of course, cuts us off. I remember that in the early 90s, for example, we also attacked such a monster-Shell, when they were going to bury oil platforms in the seas. Then, too, everyone was sure that Greenpeace could not do anything about it, however, now no one would drown the platform in the seas precisely because of our actions. I think we will ultimately deal with the monster that has "cut us down" now.
Civil activist Dinar Idrisov , who also came to the meeting, rejoices that it occurs against the background of events such as the release of Mikhail Khodorkovsky , Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova .
- Until they left, they are still not free, they are still pursued for crimes that they have not committed. I was very upset by the news received a few days ago, that the Prirazlomnaya platform, as they say, collected from the junk acquired in Norway, nevertheless began industrial oil production in the Pechora Sea . The technology of this production involves filling with oil under a pontoon platform of 100 thousand barrels, and this poses a threat to the Arctic and all of humanity. In this context, the Greenpeace action cannot be underestimated. The problem is very simple: what is more important - momentary profit, even for the good of the living generation, or the safety of future generations that have not yet been born?
Dinar Idrisov considers it very important to draw attention to this problem, especially in Russia, where most people are not yet concerned about the right to a safe environmental environment. According to the activist, this happens because in Russia people have not yet achieved their basic rights, he hopes that when this problem is resolved, people will finally think about their right to a favorable environment.

The time that remains before the probable departure, Greenpeace activists decided to use in order to informally communicate with everyone who supported them during the imprisonment and after leaving the prison on bail. The meeting took place on Monday in the Hall of the Capacity "Quaternary" in Pirogov Lane. The hall was full. The meeting was held by the head of the Center for Environmental Expertise EMC Alexander Karpov . At the very beginning, he tried to find out what was interested in meeting the most - it turned out that they were interested in literally everything, from global problems like warming the climate to minor details from the life of activists: what they eat whether they are vegetarians, whether they drive a car. The first question concerned how people come to Greenpeace.Dmitry Litvinov
“I have been working there since 1989,” says Greenpeace activist Dmitry Litvinov . -In the late 80s, more and more information about climatic changes began to appear, and here I just had a son, and it seemed to hit me: if I want him to live in a world that is not very terribly different from the world in which I live, then I have to do something, and do it personally. Once, one friend of mine told me that a group of children in rubber boats enters the at all in the Pacific Ocean, where the French are going to blow up atomic bombs, and with their bodies these people make the explosion impossible. And I immediately thought: this is what I want to do. That's how I came to Greenpeace.As for driving the car, according to Dmitry Litvinov, he tried to settle in such a place of Sweden, where he simply does not need a car. Aiza Oulakhsen , who lives in the Netherlands, said that she has a driver’s license, but she also does not use the car, preferring to ride a bicycle.

Someone from the audience compared the Greenpeace campaign at Prirazlomnaya with the actions of Don Quixote against the windmills, when the defeat is inevitable-now we can say that the oil monster "cut down" his opponents. Greenpeace activists replied that they see this confrontation rather as a duel of David and Goliath, in which the victory will eventually get a giant Goliath, but to young David. Dmitry Litvinov recalled that this action against "oil monsters" at Greenpeace is far from the first:- In our work related to climatic changes, we arrange such shares constantly. Yes, the monster, of course, cuts us off. I remember that in the early 90s, for example, we also attacked such a monster-Shell, when they were going to bury oil platforms in the seas. Then, too, everyone was sure that Greenpeace could not do anything about it, however, now no one would drown the platform in the seas precisely because of our actions. I think we will ultimately deal with the monster that has "cut us down" now.
