"Cosmonauts" Zolotov

A crowd that jerking over space flight may well be overcame with batons

I will not lie, I don’t remember the assault on the winter and the defeat of Denikin near the eagle. But, being some kind of old-timer, I well remember the day of the flight of Gagarin and sometimes with enthusiasm I tell the young people who could not bite me off.

I was then 15 years old, and I lived far from space and any other tracks - in the village, where few people bothered that the earth is round. But if the black plate of the radio hangs on the wall, then this talks about something. And when it began to speak in the voice of Levitan, then everyone froze - is it not a war! It turned out not a war, but a victory.

I can’t say that in joy everyone raised from the houses. In the spring, in rural areas, except for a fire popped out of the house. The yards, streets and lanes were buried in the mud. No Sasha was under our windows along the highway due to the absence of one. Only the owners of reliable boots could gather somewhere in one place. Therefore, a breakthrough of a person into space was marked by courtyards and small groups of villagers, sending to the Selmag the most prepared for overloads of the man, then his understudy.

Then we learned that the main folk jubilation was in cities with a hard coating, where people fell out of the houses in the square at once. As other old-timers say, enthusiastic townspeople shouted for a long time and irresponsibly and waved cardboard with some words and exclamation signs.

And now, considering old pictures, you suddenly understand that these were unauthorized events.

Then they did not know such terms yet, but they knew that they were supposed to go out on the square on May 1 and November 7. And all the exclamation signs had to be obtained from the CPSU district committee, and then hand them back to the head of the sector of approval.

Everyone realized that in this matter the Soviet government would not suffer any amateur performances, and from year to year the country rejoiced strictly according to the regulations. But suddenly the attraction to the eternal schedule disappeared, and people felt weightlessness. "Wow!" - It was sincerely drawn on cardboard and "I am the second!" "Everything is into space!" - strictly demanded one poster. "We will be all there!" - the other assured cheerfully.

In these old photographs, neither among the crowd nor the edge is visible to police officers. And even more so gloomy people in helmets and spacesuits, which are now mockingly called "astronauts." There was only one astronaut so far. All over the world.

Interestingly, these enthusiastic crowds did not violate any law. At that time, in the early sixties, there was no law in the USSR prohibiting citizens to gather in squares. Then it never occurred to anyone to adopt a law on the coordination of street events with the city authorities. Why, when and so everything is under control? And in today's Russia and under the control and prohibiting laws, they brought Feni to the edren.

And if in April of the 61st totalitarian Soviet power relaxed for one day, then the current, democratic, does not relax for a minute.

Moreover, at any opportunity, it threatens to punish those who do not sit at home at the TV.

Here the head of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov recently gave TASS an interview and once again explained that inconsistent actions were illegal. “The organizers and participants of such shares,” he said, “it must be understood that they are grossly violating the law, therefore, appropriate measures can be applied to them.”

Of course, General Zolotov’s concerns are mainly aimed at those who go out on the streets with protests, but he did not forget to recall that “we live in a legal state”. What does that mean? The fact that the law is the same for everyone and is applicable to any events. And if three years ago, the authorities could condescendingly relate to the spontaneous collection of football fans, rejoicing in the victory of our national team over the Egyptian team, now the time has become more stable, which means it is more severe. Therefore, if you are not even outraged, but rejoice, first take a written notice to the city hall, inform the official about your feelings and listen to what he will tell you.

If so, let's count something. With a good fair wind, a spaceship flies from the ground to the moon for three days.

And if they report that our astronauts have flew to the moon today, then we will no longer have time to apply for mass glee regarding the adjustment of the heroes.

By law, it is supposed to be submitted 15 days before the event. That is, citizens need to find out in some way to find out about such flights at least 12 days before the start. They heard that the tailor made the astronaut the last fitting of the spacesuit - and running to the city hall.

It is more difficult to be law -abiding if our guys are soaking on Mars. They say that the trajectory of this planet is constantly changing. And to fly to it to the astronauts-to-fighters (if you do not relax in roadside hotels and do not linger near the alien girls fluttering along the highway) from 39 to 288 days. An application for a rally for 288 days is unlikely to be accepted, or rather try to calculate.

And you will really touch the reason if the followers of Gagarin move somewhere to the edge of the universe. How many light years to apply for a street march? This and the followers of the queen will definitely not say.

In general, write on the cardboard "Wow!" And be prepared to get a bat. By the way, this is "Wow!" We are suitable for any event.
