Putin, Augsburg, January 24, 2016 looks through the unbuttoned jacket at the city town hall.

“We live in a country where monsters are walking at large,” the Russian -speaking German, a participant in the action *before the department of the federal chancellor, is convinced, judging by the poster, judging by the poster Berlin, January 28, 2016 *

This message in the form of a SMS or post on the social network passed from one person to another for a whole week, until hundreds and thousands of Russian -speaking Germans in different cities and lands of Germany (spelling and punctuation of the original were preserved): “Attention! This is a war! The 13-year-old girl in Berlin is raped! (You can read about this fake story in The New Times, No. 2 of January 25, 2016). The corrupt power and its faithful dogs-police are in every possible way try to blur this fact. The press has been silent for a week. On Sunday 01/24/2016, from 14.00-16.00, we go out the entire Russian-speaking population in the main areas or to the rates of all settlements in Germany, all together, from small to great, at the same time. Those who ignore, let him consider this rape on their conscience. This is the first peaceful preventive protest to the authorities.

We stand at the very last line, if we do not rally and do not defend Germany, then we will be given us, like rats, each in their own holes. Make a repost, put in your notes (share), so that everything can find out in a week. ”

In front of the city town hall of Augsburg, the third largest of the city of Bavaria, about three hundred people gathered on the appointed day and an hour. They looked strange, as if a flock of drunk birds, straying from the path and landing in the wrong meadow. They talked quietly, looked gloomy, from underneath. No posters, no banners, no portraits in their hands. Through the unbuttoned jackets from some T -shirts to the ancient city square, grinning, Vladimir Putin looked.

People on a tram stop across the road looked at the audience with obvious curiosity. Two police cars under the walls of the Town Hall also froze in anticipation of something not quite understandable.

And now a group of parliamentarians went to the police - three decisive species of middle -aged men. It turns out that 48 hours before the action there was no, as it should be under the law, a notification of the rally was submitted, and if so - it is considered unauthorized. Police, two men and one woman, were quite kind with the negotiators and even promised, as an exception, they were excluded, without leaving the hood of their car, a belated application in order to legalize the action. The only thing they refused was to immediately invite the city to the assembled Obrequburg Master. The organizers explained the reason for the rally as follows: "Three Muslim refugees in Berlin were kidnapped and mocked for thirty hours over a girl of Russian origin."

Meanwhile, the remaining participants in the action, especially its beautiful half, discussed important issues: in connection with the influx of Muslim refugees, open summer dresses can now be safely thrown away, short skirts will only be put on, not thinking about their safety, staying in the apartment for the night-also a risk, you need to call for the night of relatives ...

Having received permission for a protest from the police, the members of the initiative group made their way to the center of the crowd and began to perform. They talked with the people without a megaphone, only fragments of phrases came to the last rows.

“This is good, let the authorities rejoice that we are only saying ...” - one speaker shouted.

“In five years, Germany will not be, but a Muslim country will be in its place ...” said another.

“Write what you will hear about the rape of the Arabs and Negro of our girls, on the site“ Nobody except us ”. Send everything you hear there. And then the police hide everything. Or call, as soon as something happens to someone, Arthur, write down his phone, ”the third strongly advised.

To the question NT , which brought him here, the young man with a burning gaze will mint:

- Yes, tired of this chaos! For two months in Germany, the refugees of three hundred girls raped.

- Russians or everyone?

Thinking.

- Everyone, probably. Don't know…

The 28-year-old Mikhail, as it turned out later, came to Germany with his parents at the age of six from the Krasnodar Territory.

“I only believe Putin, this is the president, not like Merkel, who let the refugees here! - Michael is developing the topic. - And only I believe in Russian television. The Germans all lie, they slander Russia, they cover the Arabs. ”

After that, Mikhail introduces the further plans of the fight against the “rapists of the Arabs”: “We will gather and decide what to do with them to live in Germany, damn it!” ...

Once the author of these lines had a chance to attend a rally amazing by Russian standards. Several hundred students of the University of Munich, mainly Germans, gathered at Marienplatz in the city center to express their indignation of the anti -Muslim group, by the way, very few. This group had the arrogance to appropriate the name “White Rose” - this is what an underground student organization that printed and distributed anti -Hitler leaflets was called during the time of Nazism. In 1943, the members of the White Rose were arrested by the Gestapo and executed on the guillotine. Students gathered at Marienplats organized this rally themselves, wrote posters themselves and went with them to the central square of Munich. The pathos of their rally was unequivocal: we are Europeans, which means that we are part of multicultural humanity ...

And we Russians in Europe - who are we?

PS. On January 29, the Berlin prosecutor’s office led the line under the “history of Lisa”: there was no rape of a 13-year-old girl: on the night when she was supposedly “abducted” by migrants, she was hiding from her parents in her friend's house due to problems at school.
