"They were very interested in the content of my poster"

On November 28, a trial of a 60-year-old resident of Kaliningrad, Olga Malysheva, who went to a picket with a huge poster, “No War” and a crossed image of Putin, will be held. She told the OVD-Info about the action itself and the strange actions of the police.

The event that will be discussed - Picket, - occurred on October 16, 2016. In our city of Kaliningrad. For a rather long time I have been participating in the shares that the Committee of Public Self -defense organizes. But this time I, as a emotional person, simply could not be silent for longer and decided to act.

The militarization of consciousness accepts threatening sizes. There is simply no strength to listen to this nonsense about the ring of enemies. I am a little known to me techniques for the exposure to the consciousness of the masses - I was fond of psychology at one time, and it is already impossible to observe how zombies from print media and television screen are already impossible. I would like to somehow try to stop this hysteria.

I thought about the old Soviet slogan “The world is the world!”, But then I focused on the authorities of the authorities for what was happening. Since I have no experience of self-holding an action, I asked some of my comrades-minded people-however it is better to organize it. And one of them prompted me the idea that seemed successful to me. The poster is quite often found on the Internet - a crossed out image of Putin and the inscription “No war!”. We ordered a poster, and I decided to participate in the picket, which was just supposed to take place.

I contacted the head of the organization - the organizer of the picket in advance. I found out his position on issues that interests me (about his attitude to the current wars, about how to behave in situations that can arise during the picket, etc.) and, finding understanding, went to the picket.

This time there were few participants. I stood extreme. The poster mistakenly made me twice as much as I wanted. Therefore, it was very inconvenient to keep it, the wind interfered, and I had to stand like on the deck of the ship in a pitching ....

Suddenly, two policemen, a girl and a guy approached behind, and turned to me. From surprise, I did not even really understand what they want from me, said only, as they agreed with the organizer, so that they would turn to him. The policeman began to ask my data, I dictated it, and I replied that I would show it right away as the action would end. So I did. And what happened away from me and what the police said with the organizer, of course, I can’t know.

I thought that passport data would simply be asked from me, and readily gave it, but it turned out that a protocol was drawn up on me about an administrative offense. One of the participants in the picket tried to shoot what was happening, but he was roughly interrupted, saying that this was the right to do only a journalist who had accreditation. During the preparation of the protocol, two - one in a police uniform, the other in civilian clothes - behaved defiantly, talked with me in increased colors, asked questions quickly and one after another, clearly trying to intimidate me or force me to flicker. They were very interested in the content of my poster. Who is it, I can only guess - unlike police officers who spoke to me calmly, they did not introduce themselves.

That, in fact, is all. I was handed a copy of the protocol and ordered to wait for the call to the court. It is extremely difficult to make a pencil record in the protocol, but there is something about violation of Law 54 and the inconsistency of the stated top of the picket. The article of Law 54 is not indicated.

In the court on November 28, my representative should be Maryasina Anna - from the Committee of Public Self -defense. As far as I can judge, nothing was violated by me. My stay on the picket, the very contents of the poster and my behavior in difficult situations - everything was agreed and agreed in advance in an interview with the organizer of the action. And I expressed my pacifist beliefs and liberal-democratic views in the form that the Constitution of the Russian Federation allows me.
