St. Petersburg municipalities compete who will express the state "patriotism".
The Kronverkskoye municipality in St. Petersburg made the arrangement of its “Alley of Heroes Z”. The alley, however, can be called a stretch - the photographs simply stuck 12 stands for ads scattered across the district. One stumbled at the fence of the sports ground, the other at the entrance to the square, the third-in the courtyard, opposite the garbage dump, and its glass is so depressed that because of the pounds of mud, not to make out the texts with the biographies of the heroes and the description of their merits.
The head of the administration of the Kronverkskoye Moscow Region, Nikolai Mekshun, immediately issues his version of the shameful state of the stand: those who do not support the Russian “special operation” have stated.
“We are doing our patriotic work to resist Ukrainian neo -fascists,” he said to “New”. - On their own, they printed portraits of heroes on a colored printer (chose about fifty from the website of the Ministry of Defense, without reference to the region), placed. However, there are people who do not like it, they smear stands with paint. ”
The clarification of the correspondent that vandalism is little like - nothing is broken, not painted, more like a disdemnation attitude, and it may just have to take a rag and wash the glass before connecting portraits to all this dirt, the Mekshun does not bother: “Very good, we will say thank you!”

Nikolai Mekshun himself was born in Kyiv. The family moved from Ukraine when he was not even a year, but his relatives remain there. He says, before, until 2014, he regularly came to his grandmother. When asked what is now with his loved ones, he answers cheerfully: "Everything is fine with them."
- And you yourself faced the manifestations of “neo -fascism” in Ukraine, which you are talking about now? - We ask him.
- Yes, sure.
- And what was it expressed?
- Well ... in disrespect for the Russian language. Personally, there were no cases of aggression towards me - I am a strong guy. But in general, in the western part of Ukraine it was always the case. If you speak not in Ukrainian or in English, in Polish, they pretend that they do not understand.

MO "Kronverkskoye", like many others, announced the collection of humanitarian assistance. The action, as the announcement on the MO page says, finishes March 25. After that, the “military doctor and a veteran of several wars Tatyana Kirievskaya” with his team “will go to the Lugansk region to help military hospitals and children's boarding schools.” How much and what managed to assemble, Mekshun is not ready to answer - he is on vacation. But he admits that the people are not responding very actively: “The youth is unconscious, and people of middle age, unfortunately, too,” Nikolai Vladimirovich sighs. “Mostly pensioners responded, our blockade.”
- People who find themselves in the combat zone suffer on both sides. Why did you decide to help the Luhansk region?
- And who else to help? From there, refugees in the humanitarian corridors go to Russia. From the western part those who were related to neo -Nazema were fleeing that they would have to be responsible for this, ”Mekshun is sure.
- That is, almost three million that left the war zone to Poland - are these all neo -Nazis and their accomplices?
- They hide behind as a living shield, do not let them go! - the official is burning.
- But how then did these several million ended up in Europe?
- You will ask Zelensky in the office of Zelensky.
The St. Petersburg municipalities seemed to go into a sprint race - who is more likely and shiba to express his “patriotism”. Some MOS on their sites and pages of VKontakte placed the St. George ribbons curved in the Latin Zyu, others added Z and V to their coats of arms, while someone enriched the spelling of the names of the districts: the municipal district “Chkalovskoye”, “Kronverkskoye”, “Vvedensky” turned out.
Those who do not allow the name, they realized to fold the munizipal district.
The theme of publications has changed noticeably. Instead of disgusting unscrewed complaints about uncleaned garbage falling from facades, plaster or broken roads, you can finally concentrate on the repost of the performances of the president or Maria Zakharova, videos in support of the Russian security forces. Of particular popularity is the one where two dozens of citizens are bent on the Marse Field and riot police in black helmets with batons at the ready run in their direction. But not in order to cram citizens in autozaki, but to stand with them in a hitch, under the handles (the baton serves as a crossbreaker), lined up with the letter Z.
Judging by the comments, not everyone likes this change of agenda:
“Is this a news group or a stronghold of propaganda? Dear admins, you can news the news of the municipality, but we’ll see all this through the first channel ”;
“You have nothing more to do? How are the posts of this topic relate to the Municipal Education Big Ott? ”,“ It would be better to write about problems and their solutions in our district, ”they are indignant in the profile group.
“In the MO, in the framework of authority and approved financing, everything has been decided a long time ago,” the head of Mo. Bolshoi Okhta Nikolai Payalin, the head of Moral Okhta, answers them. And stubbornly lays out new posts about the main thing: about the third anniversary of the signed Moscow Ministry of Youth, Sports and Tourism of the “DPR” “On the interaction in the field of patriotic education of youth” and the video, where Azov’s fighters allegedly train children to return not only Crimea, but also Kuban.
“How do you check the authenticity of the materials that you post in the group? How can you make sure this video is not a fake? " - does not stand Polina G.
“If you are specifically about this video, then it was shown on TV in its time. For a long time, ”says Mr. Payalin. And adds a mysterious one: - But there are materials whose authenticity is checked by reading the decisions of the municipal council or decisions of the local administration. ”
Someone is trying to return it from Ukraine to the Earth of the municipality, persistently repeating the question of piles of lying snow, accompanying it with expressive photos. “Not in my competence,” Payalin closes the topic.
On the page of Mo Gorelovo, too, we were happy to switched to an international agenda. One of the posts refers to events in Yugoslavia, with a reminder that there were bombing “78 days.
In Mo Polyustovo, they publish a video report on the school “Patriotic flash mob” with the participation of the head of this education Andrei Zhabrev under the heading “Children Polustovo for Russia !!”. The kids were gathered in the gym, given tricolors on a stick and built with the teachers with the letter Z. decorated with the St. George ribbon, Zhabrev stands in the center, smiles and also waves a flag, and then thanks the students “for love for our homeland”.
Other municipalities focused on dislike to the west.
“At one point, we may command gay parades from the West, then the lessons of homosexual education, and then practical classes on“ same-sex love ”with the passage of a practical exam, in order to have different skills for the age of majority!” - Fasting MP Kolomyagi Pyotr Kiselev. Reflammably assuming that “many people oppose our special operation in Ukraine”, although, although it is “the only way to provide our children with the opportunity to“ live according to moral rules, love each other and continue their family, increasing the population of our great country! ”
