Omsk people lose fear

A protest rake and at the same time social experiment was held in Omsk

On September 5, a rally called "For the Constitution and Honest Power" was held in Omsk. The sixteen gazelle started from the right bank of the Irtysh (sanatorium "Dawn"), drove along the central streets, turned onto the left bank under the picky gaze of traffic police officers, from time to time, unimportant from the column, "sagging" buses (three were stopped without drawing up the protocol, continuing the movement once, and one with a rather "seditious" inscription on the board on the side. Where the acting governor was called the “roof of corrupt officials”, he got off the distance, trying to go around the KamAZ rising across the road).

The organizer of the event, the Carrier's Trade Union, decided to hit the car industry on the main Omsk and all -Russian troubles - corruption, removing pensions, elections without a choice. “We want our slogans to see people who do not go to rallies,” said Valentin Kuznetsov, the new leader of the “coachman” and part -time, the chairman of the Human Rights Committee. - After all, in a million Omsk, they participate in them 10 thousand, no more. It is necessary that all the Omsk citizens think about how we live. ”

According to the observations of the author of this note, if the action has not yet reached the goal, in the sense of the entire local population, since only some part of it was on the streets, but, of course, “shot” in a given direction. The journalistic Lika of Kedrinskaya sat in a car that Vadim Ostapov, better known as the Omsk Mimino ("New" talked about how he was pursued by the authorities with the transportation mafia for carrying people for free). He glued it, perhaps, the most risky phrases, in particular, “Putin, take it off the galleys and his thieves,” and on the buffer, he placed a pure provocation behind: “If you are against Putin, a request”.

In the course of the action of such signals, we heard 15 pieces. Omsk motorists - dashing guys: according to the rules of the road for no reason related to it, it is impossible to signal, and they violated this rule, directly “under the nose” near the road patrol. Some lowered the glass and shouted "We are with you!"

“And we were also given signals,” say civil activists from the Human Rights Committee Lyubov Butakova and Nina Baigushkarova. They in the salon of Gazelle loudly sang Soviet songs. I especially pierced the pedestrians “get up, the country is huge”: “People shuddered, stopped, shouted after us the words of gratitude and that they support us. Many of our Gazelle photographed, shot in the video. " And the slogans on it were the following: “Elections - a scam for the voter”, “EP - a party of enemies of the people”, “Pension? Only in the coffin. "

Lika and I watched all the way how passers -by react to the slogans of the Omsk mimino. Some are wary, and the majority - in surprise and enlightened: at first their eyes were rounded, then they smiled and also took out smartphones - began to shoot. No one was indignant. People at the stops greeted us with their hands with their hands with their hands, clenched into fists.

In general, the social experiment was a success: the inhabitants of the Omsk region seem to have completely lost fear.

Law enforcement officers, however, decided that there was little one protocol for such an campaign, but they were late: as Valentin Kuznetsov told, in the evening of the same day, they began to call the participants in the rally with a demand to immediately come to the police department “for the conversation”.

“The actions of the police are unlawful,” says Valentin Nikolaevich. -Firstly, no one has the right to conduct investigative measures with citizens at such a later time-at 9-10 pm, for this there is a working day. Secondly, there can be no calls to law enforcement agencies by phone: you can only call people with a summons-with a seal, indicating what reason the citizen is called, as someone (the victim, witness or accused), if it is an audit, then for which article of the Criminal Code, etc. Only after her presentation can he personally demand something for painting. But most of our citizens, unfortunately, do not know this, and the police enjoy their legal illiteracy. Several gazelists, whom I did not have time to warn how to react to such calls, were scared, ran to the police branches, called the rest-he said that they would not take these calls to my mind. ”

Valentin Nikolaevich is surprised: what conversations can, what? “The traffic cops on the route of the rally stood through every hundred meters, all in their words were recorded on the video: if some violations were found, call the person a summons. But I am sure that there are no violations: they just need to concoct the case: their main task is to ruin the trade union “The Coachman”.
