"Black day came"

In Yetube, a rally was held with demands to save Russia from the crisis. 14 thousand people participated in it. Report "Medusa"

On April 28, in Yetube, the online militia "For Life" was held. It was organized by the NO campaign, advocating with the cancellation of amendments to the Constitution. Within three hours, opposition politicians, public figures and entrepreneurs called on the authorities to solve the problems of Russian society, aggravated during the epidemic. Their performances simultaneously listened and actively commented on at least 14 thousand spectators.

On April 20, the participants in the campaign were announced about the rally in unusual format. On that day in Vladikavkaz, hundreds of people went outside in protest against the self-isolation regime, and the inhabitants of Rostov-on-Don arranged a virtual rally from the regional government using the Yandex.Navigator application.

“To arrange a rally on the street is now at least irresponsible, but I want to try something other than boring petitions, open appeals and posts on Facebook,” one of the organizers of the action, journalist and municipal deputy Ilya Azar explained to the idea. Already during the live broadcast, he said that activists from Kalmykia inspired him to protest in this format.

The online blowing, planned for six in the evening of Tuesday April 28, begins almost on time. But the participants immediately face technical difficulties. Azar appears on the screen (he leads the rally with actress Julia Aug). It is not heard, while another male voice repeats over and over again: “The excitement is on the air! Azar on the air! What's happening?" Following him is Dmitry Gudkov. Because of the interference, only scraps of his speech are heard: “I have three dogs” and “spend three minutes, support political prisoners.”

Viewers of the broadcast - by this time there are already 11 thousand - write about problems with sound. In the place of Gudkov, a slide show from photographs of people with posters arises-the organizers asked everyone to send their pictures with statements on the topic of the rally in advance. “What to feed my children?”, “Freedom to prisoners of the regime”, “cancel digital passes” - the photo quickly replaces.

It is possible to establish sound only to the third performance. The literary critic Irina Prokhorova thoroughly explains that the problems in modern Russia “one root of evil has a low cultural and educational level of the managing class”. According to Prokhorova, people publishing laws have a “strange” idea of ​​the country. “Sometimes it seems to me that they do not imagine that it can be effectively controlled without hazing and bayonets. What can be generated for the sake of your own well -being simultaneously and the general good. - argues Prokhorov. “That we do not live in our country, but people with dignity, rights, right to happiness, searching justice.” In conclusion, she calls not to change the constitution, but to teach the power to observe it.

Following the word again takes Azar and repeats the speech that no one had heard before, because of the malfunctions. “In my opinion, a completely outrageous rape of the constitution occurred. Moreover, it turned out to be only an operation of cover for the implementation of the Putin plan, the desire to rule Russia forever, ”says the journalist. “Putin finally turned into an aging dictator, desperately clinging to power.” In conclusion, Azar jokes that the NO campaign did not send an application for online title, which means that it is not agreed with the authorities.

The performance has to be repeated by Gudkov. The politician is convinced that today we are all under house arrest, which has nothing to do with quarantine and self -isolation regime. The state continues Gudkov, does not pay people worthy compensation, as is done in other countries. “Our regime turned out to be incapable of anti -crisis management, it was still greedy and cannibalist, even in such a difficult time for the country and people,” the politician says. - Putin will protect this cube for himself until the last, because for him it is the hourglass of his political life. He will sacrifice people, business, all of us to preserve ourselves for life. ”

“Putin give our money!”, “The Fund has already been pulled out”, “Changes,” the audience comments.

The municipal deputy Konstantin Yankauskas first shows his T -shirt. On it is the inscription: "In the struggle, you will find your right." Then he demonstrates posters: on the first it is written “Putin and the government to resign”, on the second - the address of the “5 steps” website of the team of Alexei Navalny. Yankauskas talks about the village of Gorodishchi in the Petushinsky district of the Vladimir region. From the village to Moscow - two hours on the train, most residents go to work in the capital. Due to the coronavirus, the entrance to the area, according to Yankauskas, is blocked, and the electric trains are canceled. People are forced to "howl in a barrel in them" to get to work. “They will either die of hunger, or they will ride and become infected,” the municipal deputy explains. Such a situation, he is convinced throughout the country.

The director of Open Russia is followed by Andrei Pivovarov, writer Alisa Ganieva, the co -founder of Dissernet Andrey Zazakin, entrepreneur Daria Zarykovskaya and the leader of antimurious protests in Shies Viktor Vishnevetsky. The requirements for the inadmissibility of amendments to the Constitution and violations of freedom of speech, redistributing the budget and assisting “doctors, businesses, those who are in a difficult situation” are sounded.

In the comments they ask for amnesties for the “drug” of the 228th article of the Criminal Code, government resignation, honest elections and the abolition of the exam. Some spectators are dissatisfied with the online title format and urge the organizers to read their messages, as well as let “ordinary people” speak out. Among the commentators there are also supporters of the current government, but almost no one enters the disputes with them. There are so many commenting that it is simply impossible to do.

In between speeches, Ivan Alekseev (Noize MC) performs. Especially for online milks, he recorded a video where, against the background of a large bookcase, he performed several songs (including the recently released “26.04” dedicated to the Chernobyl accident).

“Today we were faced with a man who still considers himself the president of the country. This is Vladimir Putin. He now performs every week and, according to some strange misunderstanding, believes that the country needs his speeches, ”the leader of the Pskov“ Yabloko ”Lev Schlosberg begins his speech. Retelling the next appeal of the president, Schlosberg notes that he again called on the people to “tolerate”. “The whole country heard that there would be no money. There will be plans, plans for some future, ”continues the leader of the Pskov“ Yabloko ”. - What could we see? We could make sure that there is no President Putin, it simply does not exist. ” Putin does not take responsibility for anything, while the president is obliged to do this, Schlosberg explains. And he concludes: "Only we can save the country, Putin will never do this."

“The better the rights of an ordinary policeman will be defended, the easier it will be to abandon the criminal order,” says Vladimir Vorontsov, the next speaker, author of the Ombudsman of the Police Ombudsman. “Copes, take the side of the people” and “There is no legal lawlessness,” the spectators of the broadcast react. Journalist Maxim Shevchenko, who had the Covid-19, who has been ill, tells from his own experience about the unwillingness of Russian hospitals to infection and calls for them to provide them with everything necessary. “Medical reform is aimed at the genocide of its own people,” one of the commentators notes. The co -founder of the Black Coffee Cooperative Artem Temirov complains that the authorities, despite statements, do not help small business. Economist Sergei Guriev also calls on to support entrepreneurs and people who suffered due to quarantine. According to him, in the country's national welfare fund for this there are funds: “This is the money that we - Russian taxpayers - have accumulated for a rainy day. And this rainy day has come. "

At the third hour of broadcast, the number of spectators has reached 14 thousand. Leaders Ilya Azar and Julia Aug are asking participants to comply with the regulations and not delay the performances. The lawyer Mikhail Biryukov, Moskhordumi Deputy Mikhail Timonov, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Maxim Reznik and the chairman of the Civil Society Mikhail Svetov agrees with the already voiced requirements. “In the arms of those who did not allow the economy to develop, the blood of every who died from the Chinese coronavirus,” Svetov says emotionally. The comments are expected to require lustration.

The last participant in the online title-feminist Zalina Marshenkulova-compares the political situation in the country with domestic violence, the level of which grew during the epidemic. “Why do you need feminism? It is necessary to make women more politically active, ”Marshenkulova summarizes.

In the end, Ilya Azar and Julia Aug read the resolution. The rally participants demand to take “emergency measures to save people and the country during the crisis”: to develop a clear plan to combat the epidemic, tell the truth about the current situation, provide medical facilities with everything necessary, provide sufficient financial support to all citizens who have lost income, as well as small and medium -sized businesses, respect the rights of human rights and not to justify their gross violation of the struggle against epidemics, save from The epidemics of those who are in prison, and those who protect them, are held accountable for those because of whom the country was not ready for the epidemic, and also abandon plans to change the Constitution of Russia.

The online miller ends with a traditional slogan: "Russia will be free!"
