“During the Olympics, the responsibility for security lies with local authorities, and we have no doubt that the Russian authorities will cope with this task,” the IOC official said Reuters correspondent.
The main formulations read the main thing that determines the Kremlin’s attitude to the security of the country today: the federal government is not responsible for events in its own estates and begins to respond to challenges only in fact.
The IOC official is not required to know that the main terrorist threat on the eve of the Olympic Games is not ripening in the Caucasus. The Kremlin’s assurances are enough for him that about 40 thousand police officers, special services, Cossacks, the city was filled with military equipment in Sochi, is filled with military equipment, and from all sides it is closed by a missile defense, he is nicknamed and is visible from any point. In Sochi, telephone wiretaps are legalized, censorship on the Internet is introduced, parcels and letters transmitted through the "Russian Post" are subjected to bargaining.
Railway stations and airport are divided into arrival zones for fans, guests of the Olympiad and ordinary passengers who come to Sochi for personal needs. The entrances and outputs are equipped with the framework of metal detectors, the main Sochi railway station is provided with an additional complex for inspection of passengers. At the same time, it is arranged in such a way that several hundred people may simultaneously be in line in front of metal detectors. And none of them will have a guarantee that in the crowd there will not be some crazy, hung with explosives.
The full failure of anti -terrorist exercises was dumped on local activists and a foreign press, who was too retreating human rights.There is still no certainty that one of the workers who repairs permanently broken by storms Imeretinsky promenade, which is built on the site of the former beach, cannot become such “crazy”. On fine days, thousands of people will gather here. The conditions for building the beach are such that there can be a second -grader who has mastered the “scoop and shovels” here to arrange a “bookmark” here using a regular mobile phone.
The gentlemen from the IOC are not aware that the migrant workers can become potential explosives, who for several months were "thrown" for salaries, contained in scotch conditions-on water and "doshiraki". Nobody canceled revenge like no one canceled lies about the safety of Olympic objects.
As they are going to ensure this security, the Sochi saw their own eyes in November of this year, when the special services conducted the so -called anti -terrorism exercises . The result of decorative maneuvers was hundreds of deported foreign workers left without existence, 24 not identified training "caches" and the distribution of whistles to employees of private security enterprises. The full failure of anti -terrorist exercises was dumped on local activists and a foreign press, who was too retreating human rights.
But the main result of the almost three -month special operation was human fear and hatred, cultivated both by police and FSB officers and the authorities. All this gave rise to a total distrust of people designed to ensure the safety of games. All today's attempts by the Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Alexander Tkachev to call the inhabitants of the Kuban and Sochi to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies, which he spoke about the emergency safety council of the region on Monday, can be considered an empty shocking of his mouth.
Recent events in the Krasnodar Territory indicate that the most protected object in the Kuban is the fence of Governor Tkachev, the passage and travel to which the police cordons protectNot only did the escalation of police officers in the 300,000th city made the life of ordinary Sochi unbearable, it exposed dozens of regions. According to reports from today's Twitter, only about one and a half thousand law enforcement officers were sent from Volgograd to ensure the protection of the Olympiad. Thousands they come from Samara, Omsk, Orenburg, Irkutsk, Rostov, Krasnodar. How many more cities should be called, where explosions do not sound yet? However, the existence of these cities may not even guess. How may not be aware that Olympic guests will arrive through these cities in Sochi.
In the meantime, recent events in the Krasnodar Territory indicate that the most protected object in the Kuban is the fence of Governor Tkachev , the passage and travel to which the police cordons protect. Sometimes it seems that all the forces of the special services are aimed at protecting the governor's weapon from local activists suspecting the head of the region of the usurpation of environmental lands.
Four of them on Monday are sentenced to celebrate the New Year in the Tuapse Qatalazhka . And only because they took the courage to conduct the public inspection of Tkachevsky land. The Tuapse court "closed" young activists Anna Mikhailova, sisters Valentina and Tatyana Borisov, Alexei Mandrigel by three days of arrest for disobedience to police officers. IOM inspectors are not necessary to know these names.
