Fighting fights

The correspondent of “such cases” visited a strike by truckers in Dagestan and listened to claims to the power of participants in the All -Russian protest campaign

Ali comes to the strike of the truckers of Dagestan every morning. He has four children at home, two of which are minors. In addition to him in the family, no one else earns. “If I do not go to work, I can only count on the benefits for the children that my wife receives - 120 rubles a month. But this will not force me to leave here. I will stand to the end. "

The All -Russian strike of Russian carriers began on March 27 at once in several regions of the country. The reaction was not long in coming: the chairman of the association of Russian carriers Andrei Bazhutin was detained by the traffic police officers of St. Petersburg, accusing of driving without rights. This happened on the first day of the protest. Bazhutin was taken to the district court. The arrest was scheduled for 14 days, but later reduced to five, and Bazhutin was released on April 1.

The difference between this strike and all other protests that none of the participants is going to retreat, despite the arrests, intimidation and persuasion of the authorities.

“The arrest took five days from my life and disassembled the calmness of the family,” says Bazhutin. - In all other respects, nothing has changed in protest. We voiced that we will stop the traffic of cargo transportation, so we do it. We voiced that we would exhibit camps from large cities - we are doing it. Then we will hold rallies, attract public organizations and political parties. Dagestan stands, Siberia is standing, Central Russia is also with us. ”

“Officials are rowing, and we will scrap”, or what they talk about on a strike in Dagestan

Wahid: “Who are you? From which channel? We do not believe you. You will not change anything with your articles. We need the first channel. Here, many went, photographed, left and no sense. ”

Magomed: “I am standing with my father and a neighbor here, we have one truck for three. Throwing away and bought. Three families were fed, now we cannot. More than half of the earned goes to pay for taxes, diesel fuel, the maintenance of the heavy truck, and now this “Plato”. We are in the back. We will stand to the victorious. "

Ramazan: “Plato” makes us increase the price of transportation services. From this, products for products in stores rise. It turns out that we are villains who take money from ordinary people and give it to Rotenberg? No, I do not agree to that. I don’t want to take this sin to my soul. ”

Haji: “I have no truck. I'm a taxi driver. He came here on the first day, supported the brothers and left. But then, when he saw on the Internet that riot police were caught up here, he decided to join and stand with them. Are they enemies of the people to keep them surrounded by people armed to the teeth? Will they shoot at them? For what?"

Umar: “For one flight to Moscow and back, I cry 14 thousand“ Plato ”. It doesn’t matter, loaded or empty. If this goes on, then the car will have to be sold. I do not really believe that he will be canceled, but there is some hope. If I lose my job, then my eldest son will have to quit his studies and feed his family, and he is already in his fourth year, he is studying at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Anonymous: “We have no duty here or a shift method. We abandoned this idea, because those to whom we interfere here are just waiting to accuse us of conspiracy to declare a group. We decided to stand for ourselves. No leaders, chairmen. In 2016, we made a mistake - we chose one who will speak on our behalf. And what happened to him? After the first meeting, he was put on an operational wanted list and accused of extremism. ”

ISA: “I am not a long -range, I have a dump truck, but I also decided to participate in a strike, because now they now demand a pass for two thousand rubles every month. For what? I live in the city, I’m not going outside the borders, I don’t spoil federal roads, why is I obliged to pay in excess that I pay by law? I need to feed my four children. ”

Who first started, or damage from compensation for damage

The reason for the strike was an increase in tariffs for car funds weighing over 12 tons by the Plato fee system. This was supposedly done in order to compensate for the damage that heavy trucks of Russia are caused.

In 2015, when Plato was only launched, the amount of payment was 1.53 rubles per kilometer. Such numbers for the truckers achieved protests, special preferential tariffs were introduced.

The second wave of protests began due to the fact that from April 15, 2017, prices in the Plato system should double and amount to 3.06 rubles per kilometer. After the meeting of Dmitry Medvedev with business representatives on March 23, 2017, it was decided to add 25% instead of 50%, but truckers did not abandon the idea of ​​conducting a strike. According to the representative of the cargo carriers of Dagestan Rustam Malamagomedov, they were preparing for the action in advance:

“I have been in the field of cargo transportation since 2003. Previously, there were also moments that outraged us. Prices constantly rose, tariffs changed, but Plato crossed all the borders.

As soon as we learned that on April 15, prices would raise, we coordinated and left. They wanted to get out on March 10, but, recalling the experience of 2015, they decided to prepare the regions well, contacted everyone and came out together. Before Plato earned, we did not even hear about him. We were simply confronted with the fact. Yes, they wrote about this on the Internet, but most truckers are not interested in news and politics. We went out as soon as we understood what was the matter. ”

"The abolition of" Plato ", the resignation of Dimon." Requirements of striking

The number of protest participants is still difficult to calculate. It is known that 39 thousand heavy truck drivers are registered in Dagestan, truckers say that almost everyone has strikes. The requirements of the striking are also different depending on the region, one in all regions is one: the abolition of the Plato system.

“It applies to every citizen, because products for products for the end consumer will increase,” explains Andrei Bazhutin. - This system will be introduced for cars, by analogy with Germany. Then there is a number of professional requirements, since the industry is on the knees. This is a revision of the regime of work and rest, restoring order in weight -and -power parameters, in general, the reform of the transport area. The fourth paragraph has a government resignation and distrust of the president. There was a distrust, there will be and remain, due to the fact that the constitution has a place to be, but its observance has no place. The rights of citizens are violated, and since the president is the guarantor of the Constitution, we are distinguished by distrust. We think for ourselves that we need to go in stages. There must be a meeting, there must be a dialogue. ”

The drivers of Dagestan in the list of requirements for a mandatory item worth access to the central television channels.

“We want to be heard,” Rustam Malamagomedov insists. - The central media are silent, although Dagestan is today on the verge of revolution. Our guys categorically demand to send journalists of the main television channels and only after that they agree to communicate with the authorities. ”

The representative of the Makhachkala jamaat of truckers (as they call themselves) Timur calls, among other things, a delay in payments of loans for the duration of the strike, recognizing it with a force majeure circumstance. In addition, the mandatory requirement of the truckers of the capital of Dagestan is the termination of the persecution and liberation of detained activists of the strike movement.

Platonic dislike, or who needs Plato

Yuri from St. Petersburg has been led by a wagon since 1977. He participates in the strike from the first day, comes home, only to change and wash. Yuri has at the disposal of the Professor of the Vyatka State Agricultural Academy. According to them, the passage of one truck corresponds to three cars, and not 60, as stated in one of the government reports on the benefits of levying money under the Plato system.

In his complaints to Plato, Yuri resorts to the Constitution, which says that the movement of transport and goods on roads should be carried out freely, and it is forbidden to put barriers and charge some boards.

Dagestan is also ready for the fact that the authorities will try to play on the political illiteracy of drivers. Truckers can now safely conduct a dialogue with the officials of the Ministry of Transport and defend their rightness, bringing calculations and quoting the Constitution of the country and the region.

“We pay transport tax, pay for excise tax. The car passes 100 thousand kilometers per year, Malamagomedov lists. - If Plato takes the initially declared cost of 3.73 rubles per kilometer, it turns out 373 thousand rubles a year from only one car. The excise tax takes 10 rubles per kilometer. This is another 400 thousand rubles.

In 2013, Putin, during his annual press conference, clearly said: there are money for the construction of roads, there are not enough capacities to build them. The regional authorities then even wanted to reorient these funds for other needs. What happened in two years? Why did you suddenly not have money? We are ready to pay if necessary. No one is interested in building roads like us. We have transportation from them, depreciation flies. We suggested not to feed any non-state company, but to add one or two rubles to excise tax. And what happened in the end?

Over the past two years, they added four rubles to excise tax and launched Plato. The state receives five trillion rubles a year from the excise tax, although one and a half trillion is enough for the construction and repair. And the roads are the same. ”

The money that we pay for excise tax should be more than enough for everything. Road construction paid at the stage of refueling diesel fuel

Ahmad lives in the Dagestan city of Manas. Here is the largest number of striking drivers - two thousand people, the same number of heavy trucks. Akhmat admits honestly that he has never paid a penny to Plato: “The fines come, but I do not pay them and are not going to do this. The money that we pay for excise tax should be more than enough for everything. Road construction was paid already at the stage of refueling diesel fuel. ”

"There will be no dialogue, there will be no calm." Losses from the strike

According to information that the protest participants themselves gathered, only large companies do not participate in the strike, which have their own interest in interaction with authorities. All private traders are standing.

“The information comes to us that large retail chains have already begun to experience problems with food products, that cheap products begin to disappear from shelves, fruits and vegetables that go through Dagestan are also absent,” says Sergey Vladimirov from St. Petersburg. - I do not presume to predict how far it will go.

The most important thing is that this does not lead to a revolution or civil war. Because the bitterness of the people can be expressed in different ways, and we, too,, like citizens, the fathers would not want this. But there will be no dialogue - there will be no calm. ”

Especially acutely the ability to lose earnings in the North Caucasus is perceived: “In my native Dagestan, about 70% of men earn a living behind the wheel. This is their only earnings, says Ali's trucker. - If a man is deprived of the opportunity to feed his family, he will be ready for anything. Factories, factories are closed, there is no work in the region. Then they will say that all thieves and bandits. I am not saying that we will go to steal, but this system deprives us of the last opportunity to honestly earn. Are we going to go to the forests? "

Ali has been standing in the parking lot in Manas for four days. During this time, he not only did not change his mind, but also established himself in his intention not to retreat: “Our guys stand in Manas, Khasavyurt, Kizlyar, Makhachkale.

Everyone who does not participate in the protest passing by, we stop, ask us to join, be solid. We are sure that the consequences will affect everyone. We were given an example with a bottle of milk, which, they say, on average, a package of milk will rise in price by one or three pennies. Those who believed do not consider that in order for milk to get on the counter, you need to feed the cow, make it, process milk, make a container. They ignored the entire logistics chain that brings milk to the store, and they talk about any one penny.

If the authorities do not begin to respond to our requirements, people will begin to get away from TVs. Now the TV says that everything is fine, and that our only problem is Ukraine and Syria. Meanwhile, the country is in poverty. ”

The representative office of Plato in Makhachkala claims that the strike did not affect their work in any way. There were so few drivers who are ready to pay. Most truckers are looking for a way to deceive the system.

“It is impossible to say that due to the strike, registration stopped. But we have the smallest percentage of registration in Dagestan, ”says Ramazan Akhmedov, head of the Dagestan division of Plato. -Of the total number of cars-and this is more than 30 thousand-in our system only 1-2%. The rest refer to the fact that they did not receive a fine, and the system does not work if it is not received, then they will not pay.

Also in Dagestan there are no cameras that would record violations and write out a fine. According to the plan, they should appear before the end of 2017. Most of the truckers go to Dagestan, where there are no controlling cameras, and when it is necessary to go beyond the region, they are allowed to make a trick: they purchase a temporary package or close the numbers. ”

What do the neighbors say. The experience of other countries

Systems similar to Plato work in many countries of the world, but not all of them justify themselves, Russian truckers say. The delegation from the society of carriers of Russia visited Germany to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the system.

“The Germans blew everything when they agreed to pay according to the same system,” says Sergey Vladimirov. - Three large companies deprived of private carriers of work throughout Germany, then they took them to their work and reduced their salary by half. Now there is a complete nightmare. Since March 24, a similar system is already introduced into their cars. The same thing awaits us. "

In addition, carriers are asked not to compare the level of roads in Russia and in the West. Obviously, factors such as geography, the condition of roads at the time of the start of the repair and much more are of great importance.

“We are cited as an example of a similar scheme for collecting money in Germany,” says Timur Ramazanov. - I traveled around Germany with a local carrier. On the way, we stumbled upon the repair of a new canvas. When he asked why they repair the new road, the driver put a filled glass on the panel and accelerated to 160 km/h, and the water began to hang out in a glass. This was the reason for the repair of the road section. It would be nonpatriotic, but it was necessary to hire the Germans to build our roads. ”

The head of the Dagestan branch of Plato, Ramazan Akhmedov, defends the system: “When the system was only entered, we talked with drivers from Belarus, and they said that at first they didn’t accept it, the drivers tried to go around the cameras, but now everyone was paying. The system has justified itself. "

"Power is not in the suit." The reaction of representatives of the authorities to protests

The reaction of the regional authorities to what is happening is ambiguous. There are regions where officials come to the rally every day, in others - total ignoring.

Andrei Bazhutin believes that the closer to the capital, the less dialogue: “For some reason we have very sluggish in Petersburg, they don’t want to talk to us, but God with him, we will wait.”

Yuri Yashukov is not surprised by the lack of reaction from the federal center: “How did the authorities react to Navalny rallies, which passed in all cities? They showed them on TV? Maybe only briefly. But everyone now has the Internet, there you can see how many people came out. On television, they can only tell what villains the crests, what villains in Syria and the show, where people clap politicians. ”

The only thing that unites the regions in matters of the reaction of the authorities is arrests. There are already several dozen of them. After Andrei Bazhutin was detained and released, three truckers in Dagestan were planted for a period of 10-15 days. According to information that is divided by striking on social networks, arrests continue in Surgut, Volgograd, Chita, Ulan-Ude.

Deputy Minister of Transport of Dagestan Yakub Khudzhaev, speaking to the strikers on April 4, asked everyone to disperse for three months and let the government prepare proposals for the abolition of Plato. The striking immediately booed Khujaev, selected a megaphone and performed in turn, urging not to succumb to the persuasion of power:

“The sons of our officials on Geliki (Mercedes Gelendvagen - TD) ride, and I can’t buy the“ Lada ”of the 14th model. Why? Are they created better than me? What are they better than me? "

“And take our road police. What is PPS? Patrunal-postal service, and behave like generals. It is ten times easier for me with Russian PPSNIKs than with ours, non -Russian ones. They are more understandable. "

«Посмотрите, братья, нас окружили войсками, пытаются напугать оружием. Нас разве этим напугаешь?»

"No!"

Замминистра транспорта Дагестана Якуб Худжаев (в центре), стачка 4 апреля Фото: Милана Мазаева

Якуб Худжаев утверждает, что никакого окружения бойцами Росгвардии, о котором пишут различные издания, не было. «Сообщение о том, что ОМОН окружил дальнобойщиков, появилось в пятницу. Каждую неделю в этот день мечети бывают битком набиты людьми, которые оставляют свои машины на проезжей части. Рядом с тем местом, где стоят дальнобойщки, проходит федеральная трасса, там же развилка и мечеть. Сотрудники силовых структур каждую неделю проводят работу по предотвращению дорожного коллапса. Приходят туда, требуют не оставлять автомобили на проезжей части, помогают ДПСникам расчищать дорогу. То же самое происходило и в ту пятницу, когда поднялся шум о Росгвардии».

Встречу Дмитрия Медведева с представителями бизнеса, на которой присутствовали дальнобойщики, участники стачки считают фейком.

«Когда мы стали узнавать, кто эти люди, которые нас представляли на таком высоком уровне, выяснилось, что один из них член партии «Единая Россия», у которого даже фуры нет, а второй занимается тем, что ездит по стране и рассказывает, какая хорошая система «Платон». Как они могут нас представлять, если они даже о стачке на той встрече не сказали?» — возмущается Тимур Рамазанов.

Мобилизация по мобильнику. Как дальнобойщики используют соцсети

За время стачки среди дальнобойщиков стало популярно использование соцсетей в смартфонах, хотя до этого у большинства водителей были обычные кнопочные телефоны. Первое место по популярности занимает мобильное приложение «Зелло рация». Здесь у ОПР свой канал, на котором постоянно активны около 400 человек. Всего в группе около трех тысяч участников.

Приложение позволяет пользоваться смартфоном как рацией, но через интернет. В группе водители не только делятся новостями из регионов, проводят перекличку, поддерживают, но и консультируют друг друга о том, как вести себя в той или иной ситуации:

MAXMAX: «Ребята, по статье 31 Конституции РФ мы имеем право на мирные акции, но они начинают ссылаться на 54 федеральный закон о митингах и демонстрациях. Советую всем почитать. Там все подробно написано».

BRATUHA86: «Ребята, Сургут на связи. Только что закончился суд над Василием. Все таки впаяли ему статью, незаконный сбор активистов. Штраф 20 тысяч. Something like that. Тюмень, я слышал, что у вас тоже начнется. Будут выявлять самых активных и так же, как Василию, штраф наложат».

VIRUSID: «Мужики, давайте толпой поможем со штрафом. Каждый по 100 рублей скинется, быстро наберем 20 тысяч».

ALEKSEYVADIMOVICH: «Конечно, поможем. Нас тут сейчас активных больше 300 человек, быстро соберем«.

KAMAZ222: «Дагестан поддерживает. Говорите, куда скидывать деньги».

1111: «Мужики, что у вас в Дагестане? Правда, что ОМОН хочет начать выдавливать? Если так, то предлагаю организовать марш-бросок, поддержать ребят».

FRTD: «Можно было бы, но нас колонной не пропустят, надо подумать, как действовать, не поддаваться на провокации».

В группе «Зелло рация» практически не допускаются посторонние разговоры. Любого, кого заподозрили в провокации, тут же блокируют. Кроме того, стачечники используют соцсети WhatsApp, Facebook .

«Мы за полтора года сумели собрать безумно большое количество людей, многих поставить под свои флаги, по большому счету объединение произошло на профессиональном уровне, — говорит Бажутин. — Коммуникация по соцсетям нам очень помогает. Даже о том, что происходило, когда меня задержали, ребята знали лучше меня. Я сам не знал, что меня выпустят, а они уже были в курсе».

Мы за полтора года сумели многих поставить под свои флаги, произошло объединение на профессиональном уровне

«Сегодня мне звонили ребята с других регионов. Они услышали, что ОМОН в Дагестане собирается разгонять бастующих, и пообещали мне, что если это правда, они приедут поддержать и не допустить столкновения, — вторит Маламагомедов. — Участников стачки активно поддерживают таксисты, водители ГАЗелей. Они не стоят весь день, но часто приезжают, привозят еду, напитки, поддерживают словами. В соцсетях обсуждают, что сейчас идет тестирование на крупногабаритном транспорте, следующим этапом пойдет мелкотоннажный транспорт, а дальше дойдут до легковых».

Вырыть ров и разобрать рельсы. Средства борьбы с протестующими

Забастовке препятствуют не только арестами активистов. В одной из станиц власти проявили особую креативность: дальнобойщики наметили дату, когда будут выезжать из станицы на место стачки, для этого им нужно было пересечь железнодорожный переезд. На утро, когда фуры доехали до переезда, водители обнаружили, что за ночь разобрали рельсы и отрезали им единственный путь выезда.

В Ростовской области вокруг стоянки, где собрались бастующие, начали рыть глубокий ров по указанию властей, объявив «экстренные ремонтные работы».

Рустама Маламагомедова сотрудники правоохранительных органов задерживали несколько раз. В январе 2016 года дальнобойщики Дагестана решили собраться и обсудить свои общие проблемы. Рустам Маламагомедов говорит: «Мы решили создать свое объединение в Республике, меня выбрали руководителем, и вот, после этого собрания меня объявили в оперативный розыск, причем меня не уведомили. На границе с Калмыкией меня сняли с автобуса, и я добирался до дома на попутках. С тех пор я не могу спокойно заезжать в Дагестан. Меня занесли в список экстремистов, и, когда я звоню и говорю: «Уберите меня из этого списка, вы же знаете, что это неправда», — мне обещают, что уберут, но я до сих пор числюсь в розыске».

5 апреля Маламагомедова забрали сразу после пресс-конференции в Москве. Два человека в штатском, представившись сотрудниками уголовного розыска, посадили Рустама в автомобиль без номерных знаков и увезли в неизвестном направлении. По словам Маламагомедова, против него сфабриковали дело еще в августе 2016 года, когда он принял участие в забастовке фермеров в Ростовской области. В постановлении суда, которое предоставили Рустаму 5 апреля, написано, что он должен отсидеть 10 суток за административное правонарушение, однако вечером того же дня его отпустили. Почему отпустили, он не знает, но говорит, что обжалованием судебного решения об аресте на 10 суток будет заниматься его адвокат.

«Вся моя семья — два брата и отец — дальнобойщики, — говорит Рустам. — Несколько дней назад приходили люди к моему отцу, требовали подписать бумажку, где сказано, что он не будет участвовать в стачке. Мой отец на этой же бумажке написал: «Я, такой-то, обязуюсь ходить на все акции и митинги, которые организованы в поддержку народа»».
