The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, fulfilled his promise. The official figure marchers against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed and to protect the feelings of believers in Grozny exceeded 1 million people. This compares with a population throughout the Republic and four times more than living in the capital. “Fontanka” to trace the evolution of the mobilization process.
Five days to prepare
January 14 the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov in social networks announced a protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. To collect 1 million people in Grozny – a goal set head of the republic – the authorities had five days, until the morning on January 19.
Magic million is understandable. The campaign “We love the Prophet” in defense of Muhammad took place in the wake of cartoonists, after the execution of Sharlie Hebdo with a vengeance who took pictures of the anti-clerical. Benchmark for the Chechen authorities was the public reaction in France. Jan. 11 Republican march in defense of freedom of speech collected more than 1 million people. Adequate resistance, with the vigorous resistance of Ramzan Kadyrov, was asking.
A few days social networks gained popularity Space hashtags #weloveProphetMuhammad, #weloveProphet, #islam, #muslim, #kadyrov, # mylyubimProrokaMuhammada. Tens of thousands of positions diverged Kadyrov. Officially, the event was called the idea of the local clergy, but no reference to the fact that the initial call belongs to the Mufti of Chechnya Salah Mezhiev, not political leaders, the Internet does not know.
For feeding a rally in Grozny were thrown not only social network, but also the official website of the Chechen government. On Saturday, January 17, news-announcement of expanded article titled “Beat the wrong faith”, the procession was announced as a large-scale campaign, as well as confidence was reflected Kadyrov.
«All the people take to the streets … Recent developments cartoons caused outrage in the Muslim world” – wrote the head of the Chechen Republic.
On January 18, the network has a photo from the cabin, who took, apparently, in the course of Grozny. It showed Sheikh Habib Ali Dzhifri – a famous preacher, who is considered a direct stream of Muhammad by his father and mother.
The picture was accompanied by the caption: “When he heard the call of his brother of the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, he said:” The call to support the favorite of Allah can not be missed in any way ».
(Hereinafter, spelling and punctuation preserved authors – approx. Ed.)
January 18 came another message, signed by Kadyrov: “On Monday, the avenues and squares Terrible come out hundreds of thousands of people».
In Grozny flew Grand Mufti of Russia Ravil Gaynutdin. Public Chamber of Russia, too, Mark. She went from the head of the federal project “Sober Russia» Sultan Hamzaev. Troopers arrived and Orthodox. Share announced thematic portal “Pravoslavie.ru».
The influx of visitors felt the usually empty even 5-star hotel “Grozny City”. The cheapest of the 300 rooms in it worth 5500 rubles, the most expensive – 22,000.
«On our workload today’s action affected positively,” – said stingy in the hotel.
Researcher at the Russian Museum of Ethnography, an expert on international relations Dmitry Dubrovsky initially doubted the logic of the French-Chechen competitions:
- For the French firing squad Sharlie Hebdo was an attack on the principles of republicanism Voltaire, in which freedom of speech – the cornerstone, and encroach upon which allowed only in extreme cases. The French Republic was anticlerical, suffered a right to mock religion. Freedom of speech – is a fundamental thing for politics and life. So – millions on the streets of Paris. I doubt that most people in Grozny come at the call of the heart, not by the order from the top. We know the results of the vote on Chechnya. Almost 100 per cent – a level of fear and totalitarian control in the country. I do not think that the march on January 19 can be seen as an adequate response to France. Islam became the only reason. The name of the prophet have learned to k ill, while others make a political career. Neither the French nor the Chechen events to Islam are not related. I suspect that the residents of Grozny have not even seen the cartoons. Russian media reprinted them something forbidden. But the head of the subject of the Russian Federation decides for all Muslims that their feelings are offended.
holiday Monday
In Chechnya, according to Rosstat, 1.3 million people live (with the right to vote – half. – Ed.), In the Grozny – 280 thousand. Cherished million seemed unlikely until the 19 January.
In the airline “Grozny-Avia” regular traffic between Chechnya and Moscow, “Fontanka” reported that passenger traffic from January 14 did not increase.
«As usual, filling 80 percent of salons. The additional flights we did not enter. But the surge of marches and did not wait. Basically, the town attracts local and from neighboring republics “- shared the press service.
Early in the morning on January 19 from Makhachkala and Ingush Magas went buses Muslims. For the sake of march Monday in the Chechen capital, informally declared output – official information on government resources not. Stores are not opened, studies canceled. Themis even took a day off. For example, on January 15, the Leninsky District Court notified the public organization “Committee against Torture” on appointment 10 am Monday meeting at the suit of an employee of the Chechen Interior Ministry to protect the honor and dignity of (agenda is at the disposal “Fontanka.” – Ed.).
“We drove to Grozny in the morning, put in a massive traffic jam. Machines with posters and stickers in support of Mohammed moved in five rows of two-lane road, – said the lawyer Anton Ryzhov organization. – Some columns accompanied patrols DPS. We were afraid of being late, but in vain. In the Leninsky District Court meeting did not take place. Plaintiff from the Interior Ministry also failed to appear. The court generally met emptiness. Public reception, where we wanted to leave treatment – and that did not work ».
Day of Love for the Prophet absorbed, if not paralyzed, the judicial system as a whole Grozny. Sites Leninsky, Condo, Grozny district court met members of the same type line: “On 19/01/2015 Affairs is designated».
Internet media “Caucasian Knot”, established social movement “Memorial” on January 19, citing anonymous interviewees reported on forced collection for demonstration.
“We were at work before the weekend reported that on the 19th is not a business day, in the morning it will be necessary to be in the center of Grozny to participate in a rally against the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Crop – area” Minute “. Also asked the authorities to deal with a prayer mats, since the action is completed with a prayer “- quoted resource of its readers.
Students and pupils in grades 9-11 also allegedly collectively were brought to the center of Grozny. Representatives of state power at the rally did not have to calculate – you reported, showing solidarity May Day. EMERCOM in Chechnya stated that sent per share 1,000 employees. Chechen drug control was at all involved in full.
«headed by the Chief of the Office of Drug Control Maskhud Taimaskhanov policemen march went to the central mosque in the city of Grozny” – begins news online UFSKN published first after a long, 3 January break.
Republican Ministry of Health also reported on participation. Modestly silent about the number of travelers, but published a gallery of 122 images with a ministerial employee stock “We love the Prophet».
Local Economic Development followed suit and provided a photo report about his presence. Judging by the release of the Ministry of highways Czech Republic, it controlled part in the campaign staff of subordinate enterprises.
Meanwhile, loyal online reports sometimes in vain disingenuous: “In Grozny without invitation came from all over the Muslim North Caucasus and abroad».
By 14:30 in the Chechen Interior Ministry count finished.
«In Grozny ended march protest insult the feelings of believers. The action as a whole was attended by over 1 million people, including believers from other regions of the country “, – officially declared in the department.
In this and stopped. Specify the number did not. The press service of the republican cupola “Fontanka” arithmetic commented: “In the sky, flying our helicopters, we collected data from the checkpoints. If you come to Grozny, you would see completely clogged the central part of the city ».
President of Chechnya, operating their data, announced his arrival in Grozny residents of Dagestan, Ingushetia, Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Stavropol, Moscow and other Russian regions and from abroad. So, apparently, and passed over a million.
Manifestation did not remain unanswered. Closer to nine o’clock in the spirit of militarism Kadyrov said the leader of “Night Wolves” Alexander Zaldostanov.
«Ramzan, we welded steel into one common homeland and the general history of trials and triumphs … Today the world has seen hundreds of thousands of Chechens in the streets of Grozny in a sign and a warning that there is no freedom of speech in which encroaches on the sacred for hundreds of millions of people. We are with you! “- Expressed support for the biker.
Chechen writer Herman Sadulaeva procession countrymen inspired less:
- Recently, people in Chechnya are very religious. Another question is sincere or they succumbed to the general trend. Here they come, and I feel a strange feeling. On the one hand, is correct. I’m against insulting the feelings of believers. On the other hand, now I do not know who to fear more. All such terrible! French leftists, from whom nothing is sacred. Terrorists, shooting in the French left. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims who oppose themselves to the terrorists, but threatening the French left. I just do not want to leave the house. Millions signs to “I Charly”, and millions from plates to protect the prophet, who, incidentally, in any of our needs no protection, equally inspired with a genuine horror.
