"Women - prostitutes - can"

Why does the authorities concern the "naked marches" in St. Petersburg and the bullying of nationalists over sex workers?

In St. Petersburg on the beach, nudists attacked the activist of the People’s Cathedral movement Anatoly Artyukha, assistant deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the city of Vitaly Milonov. Milonov at one time was one of the most active defenders of Vyacheslav Datsik, a nationalist who had served several years in prisons of Norway and Russia. In May of this year, Datsik and his comrades attacked one of the St. Petersburg brothels, driving his inhabitants naked into the street. So the case on the beach can be considered a kind of revenge of history. The question remains open: why Datsik and the like (recall at least a loud story of a "gay hunter") feel unpunished in the "European" city of Russia?

"... Then they gathered prostitutes in the same room, reported that to love men for money is bad, and sent naked to walk along St. Petersburg streets ..." So they wrote federal publications about the raids of nationalist Vyacheslav Datsik to intimate sites : with condemnation, but rather softly. But as people who survived such a raid say about the same:

- They flew in a crowd, and then screams began in the apartment, OR with obscenities: "Lie on the floor, face down! Where is money, gold, phones, where is the box office?!" - recalls one of the women, Anna, the night of May 15. - This Datsik screamed in a furious voice: "First, remove cameras and video recorders, and then create lawlessness!" They completely turned everything over, the front door was knocked out. They shot at the windows.

"Comrades of prostitutes! Not to move everyone!"

Only the two or three of the last raid of Datsik, especially the “Naked Mars” on May 18 , came into view of the public. In fact, there were much more robberies. Throughout April-May, Datsik arranged raids almost every night: only about 50 in St. Petersburg and 3-4 in Moscow. Everything was used - from a machete to firearms. And just a miracle that there were no deaths, given that Datsik threw one of the girls out of the window ...

... On May 12, a beautiful "raid" was appointed - with reporters. Address - Salon on the corner of the Fontanka embankment and Efimov Street.

In St. Petersburg there are many Africans involved in the sex work. But they go to us not from a good life

“In the evening we knocked on the door,” says Daria, who worked there. - I opened. Datsik flew with some people. We managed to close in the kitchen. We have an iron door there, and I told two girls - African Sandra and another that I need to get out the window, that these are bandits. We have a second floor, but the two of us went down the wall, clutching at the gas pipe. And Sandra was still in the window for three minutes, said that if it was the police, then she has everything in order with the documents. She did not understand why we were running, she does not really understand Russian. Then, when the door began to be planted, Sandra also began to get out, but her heel was stuck between the wall and the pipe ... She grabbed the windowsill, when Datsik appeared in the window. We stood below and saw how he tore off her hands from the window, and Sandra flew down. She lay on the ground almost naked, in shoes and a towel, I called an ambulance. I did not know then that she had all the bones of the pelvis ...

Nationalist Vyacheslav Datsik holds a raid in the St. Petersburg Salon of Intimate Services

Video material is provided by the Silver Rose movement

In the salons, Datsik and the gang immediately destroyed video cameras. But in that kitchen they did not notice the registrar immediately. The video shows how girls disappear behind the curtain, there is nobody in the room, and suddenly, like in a horror film, the iron door begins to bend inside. Datsik knocks it out of four strokes. It is clear that women prefer the window.

“The ambulance arrived, and since it was a criminal trauma, the doctors informed the police,” says Irina Maslova , the head of the Russian public movement of sex workers, Silver Rose . - But for a month now, the case on Sandra has not been aroused!

Irina Maslova

Nigerian Sandra is 27 years old. All that she can now lie down and cry silently. She almost does not understand Russian, Datsik broke her passport, the girl in Russia has no one. Sandra was urgently performed, then the second. To pay for treatment, the services of a nurse, diapers required money. Everything was paid by the Silver Rose, which raised funds on social networks. Lying Sandra for another two to three months. The other day she was discharged, and now she is hiding from someone in the apartment. The girl is afraid that Datsik will find her and finish her.

- I believe that the police just want to deport Sandra to the hell. Therefore, they are not excited, ”says Irina Maslova. - And we, on the contrary, demand the initiation of a criminal case under Article 111 - "applying serious bodily." In addition, we want an aggravating circumstance to be recognized - inciting the growth on a national basis. Because Datsik shot and posted a lot of videos on the Internet, and on everyone it is heard how he yells: "Auzemia black monkeys, you came to infect white men with AIDS!"

Beating and planting is much easier than paying attention to the reasons forcing women to make such a choice ...

- If the case of Sandra does not reach the court, this will be an indicator that the Africans are completely defenseless here. The theme of "Bay Negro" will begin, - says Natalia Zamanskaya, coordinator of the Silver Rose project on HIV prevention. -In St. Petersburg there are many Africans involved in the sex work. But they go to us not from a good life. The family sells someone to survive. Others come on a student visa and cannot officially work out with us. But with us and with internal migrants the same story, women go to big cities to earn money. Children and elderly parents are at home. Many, for various circumstances, were left without housing, and in the city a room in a communal apartment costs most of the salary, and people go to desperate measures. In the salons, not everything is by vocation, the majority comes precisely because of social problems. There are retro sites-they still know that the closer to the pension, the fewer employment options. Well, do not die people! And you can’t call their bread light. I often hear the opinion that they earn a lot in this area. Those who earn a lot do not fall under the raids and do not stand in court. But such stereotypes are used by "champions of morality", which have already reached direct violence. It is much easier to beat and plant than pay attention to the reasons forcing women to make such a choice, and even more so these reasons to eradicate ...

"Datsik was with a huge knife, machete ..."

On May 2, there was a raid on the salon along Perekopskaya Street.

“I was in the far room,” says Olga, “suddenly shots and cries rang out:“ Everyone on the floor! ” All things, including the keys, traveling, were in the kitchen. I tried to get there and literally stumbled upon Datsik, who gutted my bag in the kitchen. He began to break the phone, cards, scattered medicines. He was with a huge knife, Machete. Having scattered my things, Datsik began to break furniture, plumbing. ...

This raid was quick. Almost immediately, the police arrived from the 77th department, six girls, two guards and two clients were loaded into cars and taken away. The remaining raiders knocked out the windows in the apartment, broke mirrors, doused the walls with paint, broke the beds.

He walked, threatened, told us dirty things, yelled: "Comrades of prostitutes! Whores are contagious, not to move, creatures!"

“Although we were told that we can also write to Datsik,” Olga says, “but we were not given a word to say against it.” We were closed in the cell, not even releasing even to the toilet, and in a very rude form they said that "you will sit here until you improve." We did not sleep, because there was a constant noise from ventilation, there was not enough space for everyone, bugs crawled. Only a day later we were released, fining us by three thousand. We were given some illegible papers, but we were glad to at least sign and leave. We did not even know what we signed, there was no court and investigation ...

Another establishment Datsik pricked on May 14. It was a "retro salon" for older women.

One of my colleagues was threatened that everyone would tell her an eight -year -old daughter if she does not sign ...

“He entered under the guise of a client with another man in a cloak,” says Oksana. - Such a large, fat, smells later. The sore species is completely, but the admin did not recognize him. Datsik began to immediately shoot us on the phone, called the district police officer. He opened the windows, doors, began to yell that there was prostitutes here, called all the neighbors. We sat, and he walked, threatened, told us dirty things, yelled: "Comrades of prostitutes! Whores are contagious, not to move, creatures!" Rummaged in things, stole a lot of money from one girl, took out all the cash from bags. He pulled the phones from his hands ... Then he arrived by the district police officer, said that they were being taken away. When we changed clothes, I saw how he made a selfie against our background in an embrace with Datsik ... a car arrived, we were taken away, the department was forced to sign a protocol under Article 6.11 (“prostitution classes”). We were given empty forms, where only our passport data were spelled out. But we signed, as we were already humiliated and shocked by such a lawlessness and wanted to go home. One of my colleagues was threatened that everyone would tell her an eight -year -old daughter if she does not sign ...

The more people gather Datsik in the support group, the more terrible forms take raids. Here is the "raid" on May 15.

“They came about 6-7 in the morning,” says Marina. - There were nine of us: six girls, two clients and a guard. And they and Datsik are eight. They began to shoot at the walls and at the ceiling, to smash everything, threaten, everything happened just likely, they broke the whole apartment, all turned over, torn bags ...

Datsik and his people beat both women and men - security guards and customers. They laid them face down. According to Marina, Datsik tried to step on them. Someone herself hit the pistol's handle and also forced to lie down.

"In this form, in a naked, I will go to the department, I will see. None of you will come out alive from there!"

“Then everything happened at all terribly,” says Marina. - Everyone was gathered in the middle room and forced to undress naked. Datsik forced everyone to shoot everything up to underwear and throw all these things out the window. There was such a cry! With the guys, they simply broke their clothes, Datsik personally tore himself, kicked them! All nine people in the room were without clothes, all this was shot on camera. The girl of the eastern appearance, dark -skinned, Datsik forced to approach the camera, said: "You are a jalyk (prostitute), yes you are a Muslim, here you have children? Your daughter will see it!" He threatened: “In this form, in a naked, I will go to the department, I will trace. None of you will come out alive from there!” ...

Datsik called the police, but before the arrival of the outfit, half of his detachment left, grabbing the cashier, documents, tablets and phones. So there were three more people left with Datsik. The police officers who arrived gave the unfortunate to get dressed and took everyone to the 28th department.

“They pumped everything out of the tablet and posted on the Internet,” Marina says bitterly. - My photos, face, name, surname. Of course, my son saw ... And then one of these freaks, while we were sitting in the police, called my mother, brought her to hysteria. They said: "Your daughter is engaged in the immoral way of life, she infects Russian men" ...

Marina wrote a statement about insults on the network and the disclosure of her personal information. He was not accepted. Yes, in general, almost in none of the episodes - even in the “bare march” - women were not recognized as victims.

In all these stories, the most amazing is the behavior of the police. Okay, Datsik, but police officers came to the crushed apartments and did not see the defeat. And then all those present were detained and issued, relying only on an oral statement of an outsider.

“Further, the hostess bought some of the people, the part went under the tribute: put the checkmarks that they“ closed the brothel ”and issued protocols,” says Natalya Zamanskaya. - This is the same as with drug addicts. Doggy cow. We roof ourselves, then we do the plan on this. And from a normal point of view it seems that the police with Datsik behaved strangely. Because from the point of view of the police, they came to ... a normal raid!

“The police were never surprised when Datsik handed them to them in this form,” says Irina Maslova. - Because the police themselves work on the raids on prostitutes: he cuts out the doors, shoots in a video of undeveloped women, then transfers this video to television men. For the police, this is the norm. Datsik did not come up with anything new.

"They drove them naked on five streets ..."

Datsik felt his impunity and even implicit encouragement by the police and the authorities. Here's what happened on May 18 on the 11th line of the Vasilievsky Island. Lena has not yet moved away from the shock and tells him laconic and inhibited.

Vyacheslav Datsik

- I prepared tea to customers. I see on the monitor - people run down the stairs. Eight people came in, with one video camera, the fact that with red hair and a beard, a segment of a metal pipe. They began to drive everyone into one room. The red -haired added up from the long room and pushed the man, Finn to us, and the girl who was with him, and began to beat them. Then he asked one of our girls, Irina, where the safe and keys to him is. Grabbing the dress, the redhead led her out of the room. After a while, he returned and began to break the furniture. The man whom he dragged to us tried to run out of the room, but the redhead beat him with his fist in the head and waved his pipe: "Do not twitch, kill!"

Further, the red -haired woman demanded that we separate naked, threatening to cripple with a pipe or kill. He said that he hates prostitutes, and we must be punished. One of the men who came with him, the Caucasian, himself tore his clothes from those who did not want to undress. Then the redhead demanded that we go to the reserve exit from the apartment. Passing by the kitchen, I saw that our personal belongings, wallets and bags were scattered on the floor. The safe was open.

We were taken to the street, and accompanied by men with video cameras, we went to the police department. Along the way, the red-haired torn off the posts of the announcement of the provision of intimate services and sculpted them on our backs. He started us to the 16th branch and stated there that he wanted to re-educate us. At first we stood there near the wall. Then we were taken to the "monkey" ...

Naked barefoot women, who were driven on the street at night with reinforcement and bits, were put in jail. The men from the department calmly left.

And you can resist when you were beaten, scared, forcibly divided, drove away, drove away on the street, just now the automatic lines were not allowed over their heads?! ..

“Datsik and his gang drove women on five streets,” says Elena Volkova, an employee of the Silver Rose. - The video shows that there were police cars, the Gazelle, the women walked past them, and not a single employee reacted! Not one! Datsik drove them into the department, filled with naked women close -up, forced to turn. And no one told him at least that it was impossible to shoot in the department! Then Datsik went to smash another brothel, and the injured women were imprisoned. The newspapers wrote that police officers gave them tunic and overcoats. Nothing of the kind! We found them only the next day and arrived at the department at about three in the afternoon. On the way, we jumped up to the “thank you” charity store, and there, having heard about this horror, we were simply presented to us. But before that, all this time women spent naked, in front of the entire department, without water and food!

“The psychologist works with the girls now,” says Irina Maslova. “She says everything is very bad there.” Many stopped sleeping, they have tantrums. Hands tremble, panic attacks began, they shudder from sharp sounds. We are no longer saying that the video was watched a huge number of times, and so many difficulties with families and acquaintances now have many. This will have to rake it for a long time ...

The case on Datsik was initiated by only two episodes under the articles “Violation of the inviolability of the home” and “robbery”. With regard to the rest, silence. And Irina Maslova believes that things need to be excited in all 50 raids. And to attract not only Datsik, but also police officers. Because, if naked men were driven along the street, the police would have responded. But they drove women. And in the heads of the employees, the puzzle automatically developed: "Women - prostitutes - is possible."

They could be stained. Or rape right on the street. They are sex workers, they can.

And what will happen later? If such marches remain unpunished, what can be done with people in a year?

- It is necessary to check all the departments where Datsik brought women and where the protocols made up on them. Because this is complicity, ”says Maslova. -And the 16th department?! When naked women go ahead, and behind the behind, strange armed people are a threat of a terrorist seizure of the police department! The attendant had to take the machine gun and put everyone with the face down! But they were clearly confused there. And when Datsik said that all these women are prostitutes, they joyfully agreed and drew up a protocol. Of course, women signed them. And you can resist when you were beaten, scared, forcibly divided, drove away, drove away on the street, just now the automatic lines were not allowed over their heads?! ..

Now lawyers are trying to achieve the initiation of the case at least in the Sandra case.

“And I would like to know the opinion of the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg,” says Irina Maslova. - How does he relate to the actions of Jesus Christ when he stood between an angry crowd and a woman? Is he ready to get up between women and Datsiks with the police? И я бы хотела задать вопрос главному раввину России: то, что по улицам города ведут голых людей и вешают им на спину объявления, это ему ничего не напоминает? А еще вопрос Заксобранию и "Единой России". Как так получается, что ваши члены поддерживают ультрас? Это сейчас Милонов пытается откреститься, а раньше он Дацика во всех интервью поддерживал . С молчаливого согласия этих людей сегодня выгнали на улицу секс-работниц. Для меня это – просто запуганные женщины, которых унижали больше суток как бандиты, так и сотрудники полиции. Но завтра это коснется каждой. У тебя не та юбка, не та стрижка, ты поздно идешь по улице. И тебя захватит такой вот Дацик, а помощи не будет. Потому что один раз уже было можно…
