"Our Crimea, and our poppy." Day of Russia in the days of war

The film of the documentary project "Signs of life"

Despite the war, which the Russian troops are waging in Ukraine for the fourth month, despite the sharply changed life in isolation from a large part of the world, people who came to the Center of Moscow on June 12, 2022 were satisfied. They took part in urban amusements, walked along the streets or went to a new institution, opened instead of McDonald's, who stopped working in Russia because of the war. The new place, however, except for the brand and the color scheme, almost nothing was different from the predecessor - everything remained at the McDonald's technological base. “Our Crimea, and our poppy,” said one of the young visitors.

Someone tried, however, to hold anti-war shares-anonymously, so as not to fall into the hands of law enforcement agencies, now pursuing for calls for the world and for the fact that the war was called war.

Russia's Day in the days of the war - in the film of the documentary project "Signs of Life".

Paper aircraft

- Such an action is to make paper aircraft with anti -war inscriptions on the day of Russia, throw them out the window at the same time. Because the cameras [tracking] are usually not directed to the windows. We shut up our mouths, and we open the windows.

The opening of a new fast food in the site of "McDonald's"

-It seems to me that for our generation it will only be McDonald's, I personally refuse to call it differently. - This is now ours, this is all now Russian. - Like our Crimea, and our poppy.

Reconstructors

- How we differed from Europe - we took victories, the sixteenth century, and then the seventeenth century. We have the same system as the Ottoman port. There is one anointed at the top. Everyone swore allegiance to him. Not some kind of local magnates, local oligarchs, there is one person who distributes land or deprives, and everyone swore allegiance to him. Both on the reviews and to the war come to the war when they call for service in a large mass, they are subordinate to one person or his proxies.

Today is not my day

- In Moscow, a group of anonymous artists arranged on the day of Russia on June 12 an anti -war action near the building of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. The Russian tricolor with the inscription "Today is not my day" was posted on the Frunze embankment. The statement of the organizers of the action said that the adoption of the Declaration on the sovereignty of Russia on June 12, 1990 launched the process of collapse of the USSR, and now the Russian government "wants to turn back the time, alienating the territories of neighboring states": "Today is not our day. Our day of independence, which we will certainly celebrate quite soon, will become the day of independence from imperial ambitions."

Later, the authorities detained and sent two people under the arrest.
