And the rector hid

In the summer of 2018, the World Cup comes to Russia. The main fan zone of the Russian World Cup with a capacity of 25 thousand people is planned to be placed on the Sparrow Hills-in front of the main building of Moscow State University. Yesterday students came to the rector’s office demanding to cancel this decision

On February 7, Moscow State University’s employee Pavel Kvartalnov wrote on his Facebook page about the dean’s statement: all Moscow State University employees are sent on compulsory vacation from June 14 to July 14, the entrance will be carried out only on electronic passes to the university, the session is transferred to an earlier time (even the proposal did not sound to take exams at all, but to put them with a machine gun), the entire territory of Moscow State University The Vorobyevs Mountains are given under the fan zone, and part of the premises of the university is also involved-for the sale of drinks, souvenirs and other things.

University students and employees began a campaign for the transfer of fan zones from the territory of Moscow State University, created an online pattern. And on February 21, protesters came to officially submit the collected signatures against the fan zone and demand answers from the rector Viktor Sadovnichy.

In the morning, the administration turned off the elevators in the main building of Moscow State University leading to the floors of the rector

As students tell about this, the ninth floor button - on which the Sadovnichny office is located - simply did not work. At lunch, the rector was fenced off from the students of Chopovtsy.

The administration of Moscow State University blocked the ninth floor of the Main Building of Moscow State University, exhibiting the cordons from the ChOP employees at the entrances to the floor from the stairs. All elevators, except one, also accompanied by the guards, were disconnected. Then the police arrived on the ninth floor.

Everything, the leadership of the university is finally signing in the reluctance to communicate with students. To lie, to intimidate with messages about the supposedly possible consequences and to silence the problem - everything that we deserve. Today at 15.30 we will clarify how so. pic.twitter.com/3qzwheb3fx

The participants also arrived - supporters of the initiative group. About fifty people gathered in the corridor of the tenth floor. At first they wanted to gather near the Sadovniy cabinet, but its floor was occupied by a chop all evening.

Waiting for the rector, students discussed the possible consequences of a football holiday: their eviction from the hostel, round -the -clock noise, riots of football fans: “25 thousand fans will stomp and litter on the Sparrow Hills? For this, I have to interrupt my scientific work? " - experienced one of the students. Several girls sang a student anthem.

After some time, Vice-Rector Pyotr Vrzhesh appeared before students and employees of the university. He came to inform them of the good news: Viktor Sadovnichi, who could not attend the meeting because of a business trip, he signed a general university order on the session in the usual time-in May-June 2018.

“Well, and you asked why this is all,” one of the students joyfully declared his friend joyfully, but immediately made a preoccupied face again. One of the leaders of the campaign against the fan zone, a graduate of Moscow State University and the municipal deputy of Zyuzin Alexander Zamyatin, recalled that “the requirements do not end there. And most importantly-the transfer of the fan zone "away from Moscow State University". "

To convince the protesters that you can consider any requirements, except for an immediate meeting with the rector of Sadovniki, the lion's share of the administrative resource rushed. The first attempt was made by the Vice -Rector Varzheshch, the mentioned above: “Did you write the paper? Wrote. Well, enough, go and wait for the official answer. ”

But the initiative group was important for the rector’s lively response: “He is a member of the United Russia party, which is trying not to quarrel with anyone before the elections! If he publicly promises us something, he will have to do something, ”said the press secretary of the initiative group.

The next attempt to convince the protesters to disperse until better times was made by the chairman of the United Student Committee Felix: “Friends, we have a question, it's time to discuss it. The Student Council is ready to bypass each person in the main building and find out the opinion of everyone about the fan zone. Have you talked with every student? "

“Why did you do nothing before? And why should we believe the results of your survey if we have four thousand living signatures? ” The crowd buzzed. Felix replied that he understood the distrust of the initiative group, and assured that he would do everything to gain this trust. “Felix, but our claims are not to you, but to the rector, whose powers we turn to, and he avoids meeting with us! Why should you make excuses for him? " - Suddenly, a girl from the crowd crumbled the conversation.

Member of the initiative group Maria explained to “such matters” that students are not the first time noticed that official student organizations do not represent the interests of students, but only broadcast the opinion of the rector: “Most recently we had a similar story - with the Festival“ Vesna ”. Then they also set the scene, although this did not affect the entire campus, as now, only living in the territory of the GZ (the main building - approx. TD). For two weeks, a terrible noise reigned. Those who have the windows over the observation deck of the Sparrow Mountains even sealed the windows with a film. That is, they suffered not only noise, but also the lack of sunlight. He also promised to protect the comfort of students and employees, but did nothing, ”the girl was indignant.

“By summer, the work of laboratories at the physical faculty, biofaces, chemical faculty will be suspended for the safety of fans. This will greatly affect experiments and scientific works, ”added Maria. She also explained that the Student Committee cannot be considered a chosen representation of the student community, because not all students are allowed before voting in the Studs council, they simply do not allow some to vote.

Another vice -rector came to the protesters: Kortava Tatyana Vladimirovna, on the website of Moscow State University she is presented as a doctor of philological sciences and the head of the department for working with a talented youth. Going to this very youth Tatyana Vladimirovna stated that she did not understand what the protesters still want, the Sadovnichny rector "and so he did what he could."

- And what was done by the rector?

- How do I know, I'm not a rector!

- Exactly! Therefore, we demand a meeting with him. - The circle closed.

Suddenly, Alexander Tyurin appeared in the crowd, an employee of the Faculty of Geological Faculty. Looking around the audience, Tyurin grabbed a girl from the crowd and began to threaten her with eviction from the hostel: “I, bypassing the rules, settled you, and then your gratitude?”

The girl explained that she lives in the village near the city of Ramenskoye. “In order to get to the university, I need to first get from my village to Ramensky, and only then to Moscow. My road is forty minutes longer than those who live in Ramensky. There is a list of areas whose residents are entitled to a place in a hostel. Here Ramenskoye is there, but my village is not, ”the student defended herself. Once she managed to convince Tyurin that she, like other residents of the district, is necessary. But today, it seems, he has changed his mind.

Suddenly, a tall and loud deputy prime minister Gennady Ivashchenko burst into the crowd: “You have submitted a statement with signatures! You know that under the federal law you must give the rector for thirty days to the answer, you know? Why don't you even let you get acquainted with your papers, why don't you observe the law? ” - Ivashchenko lamented. Students said they demand a response from the rector now, and not a formal unsubscription in a month. The vice -rector muttered: “Well, the ultimatums are fraught, of course, fraught with the ultimatum ...” At the same time, Gennady Ivashchenko switched from students to journalists and called the security service so that they checked the personalities of reporters.

- You are standing by breaking the work of the university! - Ivashchenko who gathered.

“25 thousand fans in June will violate the work of the university,” one of the students retorted. The crowd began to applaud.

They parted on that.
