Dear readers! This is the text of our colleagues from Mediazons. We publish him in solidarity with her chief chief Sergei Smirnov, arrested for Retvit. Here's what the Medusa editors think about the situation with Smirnov.
The artist and feminist Daria Serenko was one of the initiators of the female “chain of solidarity and love”, which was lined up on February 14 in Moscow and St. Petersburg as a sign of solidarity with Julia Navalny and political prisoners - she herself did not accept participation, but created the page of the action on Facebook . Since then, she receives threats from the supporters of Vladislav Pozdnyakov, a blogger-prinnavian, who was trying to create the “Male State” movement and in 2018 was convicted for two years conditionally for the initiation of hatred (later the verdict was canceled ). After that, Pozdnyakov left Russia, but regularly becomes the organizer of women's persecution.
“They have long been following my activities, judging by the waves of cyberbulling that reach me,” says Serenko. - They hate all the feminists (and women in general), this is a simple femininity of people who are not ready to be in another reality, which is already stepping on their heels: reality, where a woman (and in general everyone who is not a man) is an equal and full -fledged subject and a political agent.
On the eve of the campaign on February 14, Pozdnyakov and other supporters of the “male state” also published the personal data of the participants and participants of the “Socialist Alternatives” - and called to come to the old arbat and “shout the activists, pull out posters, shoot a close -up camera and ********** [names] on the video”.
After the action, Daria Serenko discovered in her social networks the “invasion” of his supporters-prisoners with threats and insults.
- Unfortunately, I deleted a lot yesterday, because I did not want it to hang in my accounts anywhere. Today I regretted it, it was imprudent, it was necessary to collect everything. But I have a part left, ”says Serenko. - There were quite traditional threats with which, it seems to me, I have been encountered for six years as a feminist activist. It's just that all it was concentrated there. These were threats like: we will find out your address, we will come for you, look around, we will put you on the bottle, we will rape you, we know where your husband lives, we will kill your animals. I have two cats - it was cool to read more about the threats of animals.
One of these commentators, for example, was Roman Litasov, a coach in the Omsk Flex Gym fitness club. “The animal is ended. Femics are not people. Greetings from Pozdnyakov, ”he sent such a message both on Instagram and on VKontakte activists.
“I'm an Omsk, I'm from Omsk initially,” says the artist. -It is important for me that the club makes some kind of public statement about this, so that the coach is either removed, or there was some other penalty to him. If he is in the “male state”, he still trains girls, then, quite possibly, he can drain the data of the girls he trains.
Litasov himself refused to answer the questions of the correspondent of the Mediazone, saying that he was ready to talk only “for a fee”. The Flex Gym battery account simply closed comments on his Instagram.
According to the activist, in total, she received about 600 such messages. “Direct Femlo. When Poznyak comes to power, we will reach you and will already legally destroy ”or“ Well, what are you scum? The muzzle of the beef was crap ”is only a couple of examples.
But much stronger than threats, the artist was scared by the appearance of photographs in the telegram channel, in which she approaches the house of relatives. The photo also got the address. Laying these pictures, Pozdnyakov wrote that his "comrades followed her and documented her epic **** [departure]."
Serenko assumes that they were made by a taxi driver who was taking her home. The photo is clearly taken from the car interior, while the activist did not notice other cars in that place. She is going to contact the police due to the fact that the photograph with the address of the house of her relatives was published in a telegram channel, the author of which constantly threatens different women and calls for reprisal of them.
The artist draws attention to the strange position of Telegram, which deleted the channel with the data of the security forces, but ignores numerous complaints about the channels of Pozdnyakov and his followers.
“Do I understand correctly that Pavel Durov personally supports violence against us? The threat of our life and health? " -wrote an activist on Facebook. According to her, there has not yet been no reaction from the company.
Serenko, like other feminists, continues to pour threats and insults.
