I am everything

Murder in Paris. Journalists, two police officers. Ear -shaped world reaction. "I am Charlie." A few days later already: "I am Volnovha." Million rallies in Paris in support of Charlie and a millionth rally in Grozny against Charlie. Tens of thousands at a rally in Kyiv in memory of those who died near Volnovakha, and two dozen on the same campaign at the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow.

They will recall about Charlie for a long time, I am sure that in Paris a monument will be erected. About Volnovakha, I'm afraid, forget either after a month, or after the next mass death of people.

In Russia, not everyone who wanted, made a selfie: "I am Charlie." Therefore, about Charlie in Russia will also be remembered for some time-this is a fashionable network, almost a hipster chip. About the Volnovakha, the State Propaganda will drive Chernukha for a couple of weeks that this is the planned "dumpth" of the Ukrainian security forces. Everyone else will forget about the Volnovakha in a few days.

There is a tradition in Russia - to empathize with someone else's grief. Especially in another country, especially if a lot of zombies talk about it. The deceased in Russia reporters were doubly unlucky - they died. And in Russia.

I will not give a list of dead journalists in Russia. It is published on the website of the public protection fund , in which I have been working for about ten years. Do you remember how the murder of our journalists was “undertaken by personal control” by presidents, heads of investigative committees, etc.? How did the Russian media even mentioned it for some time?

For example, I will give only the murder of Natalia Estemirova, because it touched me the closest to me. If with Anna Politkovskaya we only corresponded by e -mail, then with Natalya we worked in direct contact almost every day. We were not familiar personally, but called up daily. I was the last who took her comments on the case of a public execution in Chechnya .

Each fool made it a rule to analyze the event and publish his opinion on the network, without looking at whether it is necessary for someone or not, whether it has some kind of intersection with reality

Albekova Sr., a resident of the Kurchaloevsky district of Chechnya, was brought and shot in front of the villagers. Witnesses were told that they said: died of a heart attack. They killed, according to them, for "communication with the militants." According to Estemirova, the police officers of the Kurchaloevsky police department of Chechnya shot. She told me this on the phone on the eve of her death. The next morning I could not get through to her. Then there was information that she was found killed in Ingushetia. Before lunch, I hoped that this was a mistake. But it turned out - true.

A person who risked his life, protecting the fellow citizens, was abducted from his house in Grozny, taken through checkpoints to Ingushetia, killed in a car and thrown out into the street. I asked me to be sent from my work (because of which I was in contact with Estemirova) to Grozny. I was engaged in investigations a lot, I could probably have time to dig up something else, in any case I would collect some facts, some kind of information. Instead, the leadership instructed me to call every hour different "type of rulers" and take comments from them on the topic: "How terrible that they killed Estemirov."

Then the president took "under personal control" of the investigation of the murder of Natalia. Years passed. Where are the killers? Where is the investigation? Where is personal control?

The day after the murder, July 16, 2009, we went to a picket in the Novopushkinsky square. Twenty to thirty people. This spontaneous action was perhaps the most numerous, dedicated to Natalia. Then they remembered about Natalia already on other promotions - at the bottom of the Politkovskaya memory, for example. Now this is not what. Five years have passed.

... The attack in Paris stirred everyone. Both smart people, and militant schizophrenics. The Internet is clogged with mountains of empty sounds and "cosmic opinions". Each fool made it a rule to analyze the event and publish his opinion on the network, without looking at whether it is necessary for someone or not, whether it has any intersection with reality at all.

The chase and capture of terrorists, after a day, was broadcast through European channels. Destroyed. Yes, with victims. But - did you understand? - A day later. Live. I watched Euronuis: the guys were chasing the police by car and broadcast everything that was happening online.

In a day! When they killed Estemirov, - in a day - the site I worked on, related to the North Caucasus, dumped the next opinion or statement about the murder of Estemirova every hour, and the police were engaged in the fact that she controlled us at the rally of Natalia's memory. Then the info -breeder generally left - Ramzan Kadyrov sued the head of the "Memorial" Oleg Orlov for his statements that Kadyrov, as the head of the republic, is responsible for the death of the journalist. And my publication began to hourly publish the opinions and statements of the "type of rulers" and other friends of the editor about the act of the head of Chechnya.

There was neither the march of the world, nor the square of the republic. The dead French painted a cartoon on a religious topic, the deceased Estemirov saved people - and killed her for publishing information about the involvement in the public executions of Chechen policemen. And do you think someone asked questions to the police of the Kurchaloevsky District Department of Internal Affairs, which Natalya told me about a few hours before his death? No, the questions were asked "type of rulers" who "like", what Estemirov did.

The murderers of Natalia were not found. The investigation ended with nothing. Viva, France! You can only envy ...
