Curse on the Sparrow Hills

At the University metro station, several dozen students, graduate students and graduates of Moscow State University participated in the picket against the Vorobyevs of the rally-concert on the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea. This was reported in a press release from the organizers received by the editorial office of the "faces".

Participants in the coordinated action stood with the university -ours posters, “political festivals have no place in the temple of science”, “MSU is we”, “university is not decoration”, “Moscow State University NOT ATC”. Students opposed the use of the name of the Moscow State University for political purposes. In addition, the participants in the action demanded to limit the holding of mass events in the immediate vicinity of the main building of the Moscow State University, to restore flower beds closed to the rally with wooden shields, and to return the territory transferred to the main building under the control of Moscow State University.

Participants in the action believe that the holding of mass events near the main building delivers unjustified inconvenience to students living there. They are interfering with noise from round-the-clock installation and disassembly of structures, loud music during rehearsals, as well as the inability to get home during the events themselves due to blocked entrances.

On March 18, in many cities of Russia, rallies organized by the authorities in honor of the annexation of Crimea will be held. In Moscow in 2015 and 2016, the shares were held on the Vasilievsky descent. This year, the celebrations are scheduled to be held on the Sparrow Mountains.

On Tuesday, the news agency TV2 published a copy of the letter signed by the acting Vice-Governor of the Tomsk Region Alexei Pushkarenko addressed to the rector of Tomsk State University to collect 500 students, teachers and university employees for the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea . The official also asked to provide the rally participants with posters. The list of 31 finished slogans was attached to the letter.

After the publication of the document, the head of the Department of Information Policy of the Tomsk Administration, Alexei Sevostyanov, called Pushkarenko a letter "personal initiative of a civil servant." “Now the regional administration is conducting an audit on this fact,” said Sevostyanov.

In past years, it was repeatedly reported about the sumps launched on top to such events .
