Heart is a knock. Koronavirus and Renaissance of Investigation in Russia

The pandemic of Covid-19 aroused relic vigilance in the Russians: in the city and district public publics, VKontakte discuss neighbors who are ready to inform where the violators of the unnecessary quarantine-and the scammers themselves often appeal to the same social networks.

On April 7, journalist Alexander Gorbachev told on his Facebook how the police were looking for him due to quarantine violations, although he “has been in contact with his wife and cat for more than four weeks.” The district police officer explained to Gorbachev on the phone: that he allegedly returned from abroad and “walks around the city”, most likely, the neighbors said-according to her, now such appeals “come in packs”.

“Donations, or what? - Democents, denunciations, yes! And I am still forced to travel around the city and check, ”the journalist retold his conversation with a police officer.

The director Nikolai Kolyada from Yekaterinburg also wrote a similar post , complaining of the “Clead”, which the theater led by him faced in the last days.

“We forgot to disable ticket sales for performances on the Internet. Yes, no one buys them there - what theaters do you need here?! They forgot, thought that everyone understands everyone. But. Today, a call from the Ministry of Culture: "Vigilant citizens informed us that you have sales of tickets for performances ...". Vigilant citizens are unlikely to understand that Kerdyk came to theaters (not only mine). Full. The quarantine will end - there will be no one in the halls, I assure you, ”Kolyadawrote . The playwright fears that his theater will not be able to open after the abolition of emergency measures - he turned to the audience with a request to raise money for salaries to actors. The last performance on the scene of the "Kolyades-Theater" was played on March 27.

In Omsk, the police, after a complaint of local residents, dispersed the yard football match . “Airlines. 19 people played football for 40 minutes. The residents of the house called a police officer of the patrol service, ”the Omsk incident reported in the local public (hereinafter the spelling of posts was preserved). “The further fate of athletes is unknown. Omsk in the comments expressed bewilderment by the fact that many confuse the concepts of "self -isolation" and "quarantine". Under quarantine, a person is obliged not to leave the house, and during self -isolation, he voluntarily isolated from others, ” wrote Omsk news.

Another Omsk edition - NGS55 - published a memo of the operational headquarters under the heading "Where to call if the neighbor violates quarantine, and six more painful questions about coronavirus."

Anonymous posts with complaints about neighbors or passers -by these days appear in dozens of people in the district and city communities of VKontakte throughout Russia. From the windows they take pictures and shoot mothers walking with children. Special attention - people who, in violation of prohibitions, penetrate playgrounds: for example, swing on a swing. The most conscientious observers make up pedantic reports about what they saw: “For 12 second videos, 2 walking passers -by, 2 food deliveries, 2 people with large packages, 2 passers -by and 1 one cyclist who communicate with 1 person are noticed in the frame.

In Yekaterinburg, a resident of the Uralmash district shot a video about the subbotnik under the windows of his apartment. “There are a lot of these news about coronavirus! I went out onto the balcony, and there our neighbors in gloves and masks are made beauty, ”he complained in the public“ Yekaterinburg Lamp ”. At the same time, people in orange overalls are noticeable in the video - most likely, public utilities.

In Novosibirsk, local residents outraged the behavior of parents who walked with a child on the roof of the nine -story buildings. Video walks were published in the Typical Novosibirsk group. Subscribers were divided: some accused their parents of violating the “self -isolation regime”, others - the authors of the post in “Consumpharation”. “There are only informers around, just to take it to the phone and drain on the network faster,” the author of one of the comments wrote. “Continue to observe,” another continued.

Similar disputes about the ethics of a neighboring dormitory during the time of quarantine go in many local VKontakte publics. “Today, a friend who lives in a neighboring region wrote that she went out into the courtyard with the children on the quarantine, played a little, before that the whole week was sitting at home, so the neighbor called the hotline and complained about her, that the quarantine did not observe. These are the neighbors. I'm shocked! Why do so !!!? Or is it human anger and envy manifested like that ??? " - The anonymous member of the Almetyevsk News community from Tatarstan is surprised . “Guys, get together and ******* [beat him],” they advise in the comments to the neighbors of “such bitches” that “are engaged in arts”.

Against the backdrop of such emotional discussions, popularity on VKontakte gains a picture with the inscription: “Give two neighbors who walk in the yard without SMS and registration, and get a walk for 30 minutes as a gift.”

Natalya Timofeeva from Vyborg posted a detailed report on her inappropriate complaints about neighbors in the public of the Vyborg Vedomosti newspaper. The woman claimed that two residents of her house after returning from Thailand did not comply with the regulations of Rospotrebnadzor - they went to the store and carried out garbage, and answered the questions of the neighbors, "that the result of the analysis came a negative one, which means that quarantine was not necessary." Timofeeva reported them to the hotline of the Health Committee of the Leningrad region and c. In the evening of the same day, the police came to her - “already three, without masks and without gloves,” she was indignant.

“The district police officer first rewrote my data for a long time, then asked how I knew that these citizens came from Thailand and what are my claims to them. After my answers, I asked what they were annoying to me? I felt uncomfortable, as if I wrote a denunciation. The policeman called the lady on the phone, the violator of the quarantine, listened to what she told him, and the answer, obviously, satisfied him. To my question about observing quarantine, shrugged. That, in fact, is all you need to know about quarantine and its observance in Vyborg. Amen, ”wrote the disappointed Timofeeva. When her act was called in the comments in the comments, she replied: "Well, no matter how, but not false."

An unknown resident of Voronezh also complained to the police at the neighbor - returning from India, the girl allegedly continued to walk with the dog and go to the store. After checking the signal, the district police officer discovered that in the indicated apartment, not a girl with a dog, but a couple of pensioners actually live.

“Having learned this, the policeman tried to contact the called woman. But it turned out that she left invented data about herself. She called the wrong name and the wrong phone number. The district police officer still went around the entrance of the house to verify the information, but did not find anyone suitable for the description, ”Vesti-Voronezh told with reference to the press service of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Muscovite called the police , seeing her 70-year-old neighbor named Nikolai Fedorovich feeds Golubey in the courtyard on the 2nd Novoostankinskaya Street, wrote Komsomolskaya Pravda. “The pensioner explained that he had left the entrance of his house to feed the pigeons with bread crumbs, which he collected from the table at home. He was not going to move on from the entrance, ”the newspaper quoted her source in the police. The elderly man was held home, but they did not finish.

The first news about complaints about neighbors who allegedly violate the “self -isolation mode” appeared long before Sergey Sobyanin and Vladimir Putin officially announced the introduction of quarantine measures. So, on March 11, REN TV claimed that “the neighbors passed the Muscovite of the Police” for the fact that she, returning from Italy, went to the store. Even earlier, at the end of January, the TV channel talked about an employee of the company-operator of the communications, who announced a colleague who came from China with suspicious symptoms.

In Novokuznetsk, a 35-year-old woman on behalf of her friend called the clinic with a complaint about high temperature, telling, "as if a few days ago she returned from a tourist trip." Doctors arrived on call, but no one opened the door to them. Later it turned out that the imaginary patient “did not go beyond the country for more than six months, feels healthy and did not turn to the doctors for help”, but owed her friend, who in revenge invented a story with temperature. “A protocol was drawn up against the violator under Article 19.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (knowingly false call of specialized services),” the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kemerovo region was reported .

The 32-year-old unemployed from the village of Izluchinsk, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, also called the police and spoke about the poor health of her friend, recently returned from Spain. It soon became clear that the woman was drunk and wanted to “check the work” of the security forces; She drew up a protocol under the same article 19.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

In the public of the Kirovsky district of Novosibirsk, the Typical Zatulinka reports immediately about three protocols drawn up for one of the local residents under part 2 of Article 6.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the legislation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population). As follows from the anonymous post, the woman was in the council of the house and conflict with the director of the management company "for improper maintenance", and he "took revenge on the denunciation", saying that "she allegedly went outside."

“The district police officer came without a mask and gloves and made three protocols at once, while not understanding anything!” - the unknown author of the message is indignant.
