Meeting under the “Requiem” – BBC

Meeting under the "Requiem" – BBC

In Moscow on Saturday evening a meeting was held in memory of the killed civilians near Donetsk, burial were found last week. According to official data, the event was attended by 17 thousand. Man several times larger than the declared amount. Now in the City Hall with the organizers promise to take the penalty. “Gazety.Ru” visited Poklonnaya Hill and came to the conclusion that the disturbance was, if organized, it is quite sincere.

When the Saturday action in memory of “innocent victims” in the Donbass was only announced, but it happened on Thursday – just two days before the event, it immediately sparked controversy. In liberal circles immediately started talking about what it’s Kremlin response to the “Peace March” a week ago, at the same time by promising massive landing of budget. Good, and the location was chosen with the relevant associations – Victory Park, where in February 2012 the first big “antibolotny meeting».

The organizers and the people involved in the process of political decision-making, this version categorically denied. Not that, say, a topic to compete with the opposition march – the martyrdom of civilians, who found the burial of Donetsk, there is no place for politics. The action itself was held at the memorial “Tragedy of Peoples” in memory of the victims of Nazism.

Only here Russian diplomacy, it seems, is pushing the tragic story at the international level, ready to accuse Kiev war crimes with all the consequences.

The question is, where humanity moves into real politics, and was, perhaps, the main content of the shares.

The participants began to gather at the Salutation before the official start meeting at seven pm: at six at the exit of the subway a lot of people, mostly in the “George Ribbon”, grouped under diverse colors. For the most part, it was whether high school students, whether undergraduate courses, as well as elderly ladies suspiciously sobesovskogo form.

Especially a lot of people had gathered under the flag of the party “Rodina”. “And she, that still exists?” – Said an activist in a purple shirt front of the organization “School without danger».

Distinguished multiplicity and “spravorossy”, which this week officially announced that break relations with non-systemic opposition just because of the notorious “Peace March”, which they considered “anti-Russian».

flag with symbols of Novorossiysk was somehow surprisingly little banners of “United Russia” is not met at all.

And if the “Republicans” were developed already at the meeting, the United Russia party has not designated its official presence. Of famous faces was only the head of the Duma faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, and then he came to the rally as a private person.

The conspicuous difference between similar events from the liberal opposition demonstrations – the almost complete absence of politically active individuals, who kreativyaschih in that much. Here, everything is organized, although sometimes too weird.

Here is a group of young guys carries several bunches of black balls, which obviously symbolize shells dropped on the city of the Donets Basin, but more like a giant black grapes. That middle-aged lady in a raincoat not cheap gold color, in boots and a bag to match the flag of a kind of “Labor Party of Russia.” That is through a metal detector at the entrance – by the way, in contrast to the “Peace March” police managed not to organize around them swap meet – are carrying a wreath.

The idea, in short, clear, but a keen sense of postmodernism does not leave.

Discussions in the crowd appropriate:

– Right now fly some helicopter lift our meeting, and then the Western media say that it rebels in Moscow against Putin Maidan.
– Oh, these media do whatever you want, can.

But the bleached blonde talking on the phone:

– Zaechka, ask where the mourning event and run here. Will pass through feyskontrol frames – I have a large screen. Zayush! There subs right sell, buy me a muffin, eh? Oh, please! You still did not have time to be noted.

And this, frankly, there is no doubt that, at least, the majority here quite sincerely shares the basic thrust of the event and, what is more common antikievskie mood.

– Well, what do you think a normal person can be for the junta? Just fucking freaks some frostbitten – meets a young man of very presentable form on my careful attempt to suggest that his teammates someone here centrally dragged.

from the speakers near the stage, meanwhile, came the mournful music most often “Requiem” by Mozart.

– The whole day was good, and now it began to rain, nature mourns with us – rally started with a delay of ten minutes.

The main motive performances – the pain of the tragic death of innocent people. And remember the victims of the Maidan, but most often – Odessa. Many accusations of Kiev, the keyword – “fascism.” Candles laid on the lawn – “Donbass”. Some of the protesters in front of tears.

The tone changes when the scene goes actress Millen Subbotin, who first speaks of the importance of tolerance, and then reads a poem of his own composition – the “Peace March».

Refrain – “enough to teach us”, “traitors”, “march on Khreshchatyk».

Behind her stands Prokhanov calling for murder Donetsk “ritual”, proclaiming religious fascism “outer darkness” and declaring the goal of humanity – the universal anti-fascist alliance. High pathos chief editor of “Tomorrow” is reduced to going on stage, apparently unplanned Crimean monk who embraces publicist and starts talking, obviously a very personal and important words, but malosvyaznye and punctuated by reason of English speech. In the end, my friend had to stop the drive.

All this time, I think the question that, as a result, pay Vladimir Vasilyev:

– In addition to those unfortunates whom we remember today, killed and another Russian paratroopers. Why no word about them?
– You know, I think you need something to focus on. You see, on the screen says “Donetsk”. We have to live it and experience it, and the rest of the time.
– But also remember Odessa. And even Maidan.
– The time will come, will come.

And more say in the appeared a week ago on the same “March of Peace” the idea that modern ideologies: “humanitarian catastrophe”, “war crimes “,” fascism “, which allow to throw at each other with mutual recriminations, only serve to justify the eternal separation between” us “and” them ».

On the way back from the meeting, which lasted a little more than hours talking with someone of the participants in the symbolism of Novorossiysk.

– Hey, look, whatever “Zenit” – “Spartak” – he asks.
– Zero-zero.
– Oh, super, bounced! Went to the “McDonald’s” on “Kiev” did not seem to shut down.
