Politics: Opposition wants to monetize Nemtsov – Sight

Send flowers to the place of death of Boris Nemtsov, as it turned out, was only the beginning: enterprising opposition are going to do in the memory policy a small business. It almost does not bother anyone and diligence regime fighters looks like something normal. Like, what’s wrong with that?

Boris Nemtsov died, but the passion around his memory continues.

«If the opposition will register the brand, arrange floral marathon, then and the entrance to the bridge they would ever guess money ask »

The opposition has forgotten about the investigation of the case and no longer interfere with the investigating authorities, pushing three or four versions of an hour and participating in the operational-search activities without leaving of “Twitter”. Now supporters Nemtsov anti trying to make money on it.

As a good drama, the situation is developing on the rise and has already reached the branding.

The fact that on Thursday, there were reports that the Rospatent had filed applications for registration of trademarks associated with the name of the deceased Nemtsov, should not surprise anyone.

The details of the story so far look pretty doubtful . According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, the application for registration of trademarks “Nemtsovka” and “German Bridge” filed-known opposition politicians Ilya Yashin and Maxim Katz. And, as the newspaper notes, Yashin and Katz are designated as “private entrepreneurs”, despite the fact that in the State Register of Entrepreneurs (EGRIP) information about IP Katse and Yashin not.

The first application – “Nemtsovka” – framed by 32 th class international classification of goods and services, in particular the “beer; mineral and aerated waters and other non-alcoholic drinks; fruit drinks and fruit juices; syrups and other preparations for making beverages. ” “German Bridge” – on the 16th (in the application lists the types of printed products) and 35 th grade (promotional activities).

Ilya Yashin, the Moscow branch of the party co-chairman of “RPR-Parnassus” in the guide which included Boris Nemtsov, declined to comment on the situation. Deputy of the Moscow municipal district Shchukino Max Katz argues that has no relation to the registration of the trademark “Nemtsov bridge».

«At the moment I only took part in organizing the delivery of the Grand Moskvoretsky Bridge. There is an idea to erect a monument, but as long as I did not take any steps. First, I want to obtain the consent of the relatives of the deceased or the Party (Parnas), “- said Katz.

So far, no one has done nothing wrong, but the process of monetization of Nemtsov’s already running, simply do not yet reached a new level.

Coming soon.

«Very nice shop»

It should be noted that the said Maxim Katz initiative for the delivery of flowers to the place of death Nemtsov caused a scandal in the Russian blogosphere, which began last week. Municipal deputy suspected of trying to capitalize on feelings associates and associates of the late Nemtsov.

On Saturday, March 28, Katz called on his page in the “Live Journal” to order flowers for Big Moskvoretsky Bridge, the place of death of Boris Nemtsov .

Katz detail painted payment methods, showing step by step (using screenshots from the site of a flower shop), what to do to pay for the order. “Here there is a site” Mostsvettorg “the biggest supplier of flowers, as I understand it. They have a very cool online store. If you want to help with the restoration of the memorial, order flowers there, ask to take them to the base on Pyatnitskaya street and select the recipients of me. I have them get there tonight and memorial’ll take “- wrote Katz post in Livejournal.

On the same day Katz published in his LiveJournal some clarification : MP admitted that he really organized the delivery of flowers to the memorial, but – he said – did not get any money for it. As for the reference to “Mostsvettorg” in his blog, it is assured Katz, was not paid advertising.

Katz says he does not advertise the company and did not receive money from it. “If someone would think that I advertise them, it will be for me the best compliment now (money still I do not get them and do not plan to),” – said the deputy city. The next day, on March 31, Katz said in his “Twitter” that “Mostsvettorge” A separate delivery option for Big Moskvoretsky bridge. Representatives of the supplier confirmed edition Internet portal TJournal, that they have such an option, but could not say when she appeared.

On the eve Katz published in his “Twitter” Progress Report: “Already in 1656 nazakazyvali colors today. To get “. There was also a link to a site specifically for this purpose open an online store where you can buy, for example, 78 cloves of 3 thousand. Rubles or 100 roses for 5 thousand. It is clarified that the buyer when ordering flowers through this site agent fee is 20 % (or 10% when ordering flowers individually – there is an option).

The agent received a memory Nemtsov profit, and the agent does not seem to Max Katz. But who is he?

Perhaps the light shed on this mystery story about free pictures. As previously reported, “Komsomolskaya Pravda” in social networks was taken by a certain statement on behalf of the deputy Katz – reported that he has to pay out of pocket photographer who shoots bouquets on the bridge for reporting.

Katz hastened to correct, stating that the photographer was a volunteer, without explaining who do who pays for what and whether to pay and what the opposition, who said that the photographer to shoot for free will not.

Screenshot Katz answer questions caring associates became one of the biggest hits of the Russian Internet. Laugh laugh, and yet if the opposition will register the brand, arrange floral marathon, then the entrance to the bridge they would ever guess money to ask.

As Bender for entrance to the failure.
