Petersburg knitting

The city’s police on the Neva detained about a hundred Spartak fans who came to the match with Zenit

The departure of red-white fans to the cultural capital is traditionally the most massive and merciless. The weekend in St. Petersburg was also highlighted by a recent incident with an insult to Artem Dziuba at the National team in San Marino. After a deafening reaction to him from the first persons of Russian football, accompanied by warnings of police persecution, the detention did not force themselves to wait long. Only with what they were specifically connected, the police and employees of the E -E Center did not explain the operation.

“The first calls began to come from lunch on Saturday,” reports Oleg Semenov, the Spartak fan and the head of the project “Hot Line of the Fans”. - After the match of youth teams. Many were detained and sent to the nearest police department in the Kalinin district. They charged violations of the Code of Administrative Offenses, someone broke tickets for the Sunday match of the main teams. During the day, calls from the detainees or their comrades also received a “hot line”. ”

“At the youth match, someone chanted obscenities about Dziubu, yes, and after the game they kept everyone in the stadium,” confirms the fan of the red and white Vladimir Grishin. -Someone was detained and taken away, someone was still caught and detained during the day.

In general, the St. Petersburg police prepared, a persistent impression was made that there was a competition - who would bring more fans of Spartak.

“Knitted” people for various reasons: for alcohol, mat, something else. It was impossible to calculate the whereabouts of the detainees, calls and walking around the departments did not give any result. Therefore, we are still in the ignorance - how many detainees were and who else remains in the departments and awaits the court. "

On Sunday, the main forces of red-white support, warned of a warm reception, were tightened in St. Petersburg. At the station they were met by law enforcement officers, rewritten data. It was reported that among the operatives were representatives of the EE center. Information about this is confirmed by Oleg Semenov: “Already on the day of the match, detention in certain public places - bars, cafes took place. Certain people. As they were calculated, a question, but knowing the possibilities of our law enforcement agencies to track messages and location of the subscriber, we can say that the work went purposefully. They said that they act as part of the prevention of offenses. ”

Despite the created background, no serious incidents were recorded either at the stadium or beyond. Passions raged only on the field. Material “charges” both from the guest and the master's stands were suppressed by “wilderness” - standard practice both on Russian arenas and abroad.

“Again, the organization of the match does not withstand any criticism,” adds Vladimir Grishin. -

5.5 thousand fans were launched and released from the stadium along the only stairs. For considerations what security?

I will not get tired of talking about this, because such a situation is a direct path to disaster. If this is a cultural capital, then we are - who? "

According to the latest messages, 86 Spartak fans were detained in St. Petersburg, many were released after drawing up the protocols, some await court. Perhaps it is there that the real reasons and circumstances of the detention of fans will become known with the participation of employees of the E -E Center. And the main question is that now we should now consider an insult to the player of the Russian national team extremism?
