Desperately Need Money

speech at a rally on Jan. 19, 2011 in Moscow

Moscow, Pushkin Square, 20 hours and 15 minutes.

Today marks two years since the assassination of our friends, the anti-fascists - lawyer Stanislav Markelov and Anastasia Baburova. Both were killed in Moscow in broad daylight, near the Kremlin, shot in the head.

January 11 this year in Moscow trial began on this fact. The defendants members of nationalist organizations. Today - we have virtually no longer in This doubt - in the hands of law enforcement officers are the real killer Stas and Nasty, as well as his accomplice. These people - the neo-Nazis, one of them as times, and was thus unfound declared in the search party to a deadly attack on the anti-fascist Alexander Riukhin. The court will be open and there is a chance that we learn the truth until the end.

murderers are caught soon the court ... The public can calm down?

None.

Every year in our country occur dozens of far less resonant murder motivated by ethnic hatred. Last year, the Nazis, was killed at his house Ryazan anti-fascist, the artist Kostya Lunkin. A total of 2010 human rights organizations documented the murder 38 people.

victims of the Nazis, as a rule, become citizens of Russia non-Slavic appearance, as well as visitors from the countries of the former Soviet Union and its former allies. In place of the international solidarity of the times USSR, imaginary or real, has come national intolerance, hatred of the unlike, for speaking in another language, having a different shape of the eyes, a different hair color, a different shade of skin.

We often do not remember the names of the victims of Nazi terror, we do not know: the press sparingly tells us that killed a citizen of Uzbekistan, citizen of Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijani, Armenian, a visitor from Vietnam, a refugee from Afghanistan ... We do not see their faces, those of their grieving relatives - they like would go to the nameless oblivion, having settled in our minds only to the second, which we read the terrible news on computer monitors or on the pages newspapers.
But no, none of the deaths at the hands of Nazi murderers are not nameless. No one was born in a flask, devoid of pain, mind, love, affections, hopes, - All gave birth mothers, each, every - were relatives, friends, people they care about, people who cared about them ...
But under attack Nazis has long been not only "risk group": Those non-Slavic appearance, active anti-fascists or members of subcultures. In recent years, victims of Nazi Terrorism is increasingly becoming both "random people".

In May 2010, a crowd attacked a group of far-right Russian youth, celebrate the birthday of a friend taking them for anti-fascists. As a result of 15 stab wounds died on 28-year-old Dmitry Kashitsin. In January 2009, in Moscow in the metro area Kuzminki was made attempt to blow up a McDonald's. The organizers of a failed explosion were members of neo-Nazi groups NS / WP. Also involved in this gang to undermine the railway stations in the area and Tsarina Bulatnikovo in October and November 2008 and the explosion of the church St. Nicholas in the Biryulyovo-Western November 30, 2008. Those arrested have committed nearly two dozen attacks on passers-by, which they were foreigners. Helped the Nazi terrorists 29-year-old Peter Bashelutskov, who worked in Moscow, the head of department in the Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Youth Policy of the Russian government.

indicative Psychology is an example of the far-right text "to cultivate one's executioner!" calling does not stop even before the murder of relatives, if in the interests of the nation. "

was also reveals the extensive terrorist network, who worked in 2007-2009 on the basis of cell FNL (National-Socialist Society). Neo-Nazis from the FNL carried out more than two dozen murders. Leaders of the organization had ties with State Duma deputies, in particular, with Nikolay Kuryanovich, with a number of commercial structures and neo-Nazis from Europe and the USA. These international connections are not unique to the neo-Nazi environment.

And above Nazi terrorists - this is only a small part, only those who have already defused.

as targets for attack are convicted for the murder of St. Petersburg ethnographer Nikolai Girenko and for other crimes of the Nazis Voevodin denotes the Orthodox clergy and laity, MVD, FSB, trains, anti-fascists Festivities veterans of World War II, Jewish kindergartens. Migrants and the homeless are invited to kill as a "workout" for "serious cases". As a target of terror put fear and destabilization in the country as a whole, it should facilitate the arrival of the far right to power. The Nazis offered adopt the methods of the militants of the North Caucasus.

continues to operate the infrastructure of neo-Nazis, have sources of funding, with government officials, There are law enforcement officers loyal to neo-Nazis and continues active promotion among youth. The facts speak for themselves. All terrorists educated, prepared and even access to legal and financial aid after the arrest of the recently renamed the "Slavic Union", "Russian Image, "dozens of other formal and informal structures of hundreds. All the murderers and terrorists were brought to the music of neo-Nazi groups, as Kolovrat " who openly continue to perform in Moscow. The vast majority of organizations' legal nationalists "are in fact accomplices frank neo-Nazism and terrorism.

Nazis are always in our country were an obstacle to social progress, and the government has repeatedly used them to their reactionary endeavors: to protect the rallies, "Young Russia" and "Young Guard" to protect the building equipment and dispersal ecologists in Khimki forest, for attacks on activists of opposition organizations. They were given the opportunity to let off steam at the Manege Square only to, ultimately, oppose the people in power, this uncontrollable crowd that beat everybody, confessing primitive principle of collective responsibility. They were allowed to do this in order to equate anyone who expresses a claim to an existing authority, to mob, which wants to riot. In order to stifle civic protest by tightening legislation, as occurred as a result of disturbances after a football match Russia - Japan in 2002.

At the same time for the past three years who was imprisoned members of the Nazi organizations closer to 1000. Many of them have never not be released. Nevertheless, we see that the only use of police methods can not solve the problem of Nazi terror. While our society infected with xenophobia and millions of people reduce a complex social and economic problems to the slogan "Russia for the Russian, there are hundreds of those who this principle will defend by force of arms.

response to Nazi terror and the growth of xenophobia can only be the solidarity of all sound social forces and social movements. We must consistently provide solutions to key social issues provoking the growth of ethnic intolerance and to seek их воплощения в жизнь.

Достойный пример для подражания указывал нам Стас, реализовывавший на деле принцип верховенства права на всей территории страны. That's why he was not afraid to speak against Kadyrov in Chechnya, representing relatives of the kidnapped people. Do not hesitate to do everything to the freedom did not come out ahead of time a murderer and rapist Budanov. In addition, Stas, and Nastia have participated in various protest actions to address important for the country's social problems. And it was the lack of rule of law, the degradation of education and social services have led to a resonant football fans riot in December, which is then used by the Nazis for their purposes.

But the killings and Nazi propaganda in a normal society are not allowed. We are confident that they are unacceptable for the majority of the population of Russia. But at a time when lots of people keep silent, Nazi groups are not difficult to operate contrary to the majority of installations. It turns out that the silence - a quiet agreement.

But we absolutely do not agree with Nazi ideology and its embodiment in practice. Nazis must drive into the insulation. Only a massive "no" Nazi terror could stop him.

Defenders of St. Petersburg - Statement of 19 January 2011

On the day of memory and anti-fascists Markelova Baburova defenders oppose the ever-growing threat of fascism and the inadequate response of government in the protest initiative.

Two years ago in Moscow Nazis were murdered lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova. January 19 - the day of their death - a day of memory, the day the anti-fascist actions, day of protests against all forms of racism and discrimination.

slogan "Remember - means to fight" together on this day all those who are aware of the danger nationalist hysteria, who can appreciate each person, regardless of ethnic origin, who are ready to protect society from the threat of fascism.

Last year, anti-fascists had been denied the opportunity to harmonize the rally and march in Moscow, failed to protect the right to hold lawful demonstrations January 19 and in court - the formal reason for the refusal were long weekends, from 31 December to 11 January, when applications are not accepted municipal and district authorities (Before you apply "early", after the holidays - "late"). Inability to hold rally in memory of peace and anti-fascist protest on that day led to mass detentions anti-fascists and human rights activists by the police. This year again for the same ridiculous reasons rally Jan. 19 in St. Petersburg (later agreed on a picket). Again we stated that the notice filed by 30/12/2010 are not suitable - too early to submit a proposal on December 31 it was said (at the beginning of the day): "Today we no longer accept." It later emerged that it could 31.12.2010 nationalists in the same Petrograd district of St. Petersburg to apply for approval to protest against ethnic Crime and received permission to conduct this exercise, of course, fraught with new manifestations of ethnic hatred and conflict.

In recent months, this theme has acquired special urgency in light of the dramatic revitalization of aggressive nationalist groups organized their mass riots in December 2010 at the Manege Square in Moscow and Zagorodnyj Avenue in St. Petersburg. Victims of attacks these days are the representatives of national minorities, peaceful people, who knew nothing about the natural actions of the Nazis.

In St. Petersburg, December 11, 2010 was attacked Tajik workers Firdavs Yusupov: he was surrounded by four of the Nazis (even recognizable by their appearance - the white laces in high black boots, a specific clothing and hairstyles), began insulting, beating knuckles and cut with knives. Firdavs managed to call for help his younger brothers, who ran and managed to save his life, protection from armed aggressors. Wounds Firdausi, were undoubtedly dangerous to life: According to the doctor examines him, he could just die from blood loss if brothers had not brought him to the hospital, where he provided immediate assistance. At the scene were sent to police and investigators. The first thing they delayed Firdausi brothers who saved Furkat and Firuz, and then their older brother Faruddina, not the former in the park during the fight, but later came to the clinic. Detainees According to them, and beat him, put pressure on them, demanding the admission of guilt in the attack on the Russian in the park. Younger brother, Furkat, was charged with causing serious bodily injury to one of the attackers Firdausi ("victim" Udaltsov also taken to hospital with a knife wound).

Such critical circumstances как то, что нападение произошло именно 11 декабря – за несколько часов до начала массовых выступлений нацистов, сопровождавшихся нападениями на «нерусских» already in front of the police, what is the attack occurred in the Tauride Garden, where at the same time there were abusive, racist graffiti on the adjacent buildings; that the attackers hurled insults, did not hide his hatred for visitors (some of them had previously been convicted for inciting ethnic hatred) - were not taken into account by prosecutors.

More than a month, and Firdavs Yusupov was not recognized as a crime victim, upon receipt of the critically wounded (Doctors had to sew up the wound on his eye, back, chest, sore kidney, broken nose, concussion) has not prosecuted!

hard to explain these circumstances than any other, except for the reluctance of persons, investigating the reasons for fighting, to bring charges against the racists, to prosecute those who have had obvious and motive for the attack, and the ability to carry it out - because at the beginning of fighting the Nazis were four against one Tajik.

Something similar is happening and the other area of the city - in Kronstadt. There in spring 2010 appeared regularly nationalist leaflets and publishing anti-Caucasian character, which contained allegations of Kronstadt residents of Azerbaijani origin, calls for their eviction, to their persecution. In May there was a pogrom in one of Azerbaijani café, which resulted in a fight between two local Azerbaijanis and young people from the organization "Rus", which the group About 10 people, keeping in the hands of wooden and iron sticks, but according to some sources and knives attacked two Azerbaijanis. Members of the NGO "Russia" has repeatedly against the presence of representatives of the Azerbaijani minority in the island. The Azeris have been arrested and prosecuted, but neither those who injured them in a fight, nor those who smashed a cafe, and later burned and broke pavilions belonging to the other members of the Azerbaijani diaspora Kronstadt liability and have not suffered.

Lawyers arrested Mirzoyev and Gambarov sure that some of the charges (some of them brought some reason the end of December 2010) far-fetched and unfounded, the lawyers, there are important arguments and evidence can not be committed by defendants of crimes in which they are accused.

At the same time in the media district of Kronstadt appear unacceptable from an ethical point of view, the publication of the threat posed specifically from the people of Azerbaijani descent (regardless of the fact that many residents just called Kronstadt - no not blame the citizens of the Russian Federation), and local authorities "closed meetings" with members of the "Rus" support the requirements of the latter to strengthen control over ethnic minorities, even express their willingness to cooperate on this issue with those who he took part in a brawl with Azeris: "a closed meeting, the head of the NGO" Rus "Lagozhina, security officials asked them to organize a voluntary national teams that will help police keep order "(" BaltInfo, 08.06.010). A meeting with the public Kronstadt, held December 14 in the cinema "Bastion", District Attorney Kronstadt Voloshin, in response to a statement from representatives of the "Rus" on possible repetition of the Kronstadt events at the Manege Square in Moscow, said that the fate of Azeris have been solved - will be indicted sentence. That is, the executive branch is led by racists, thereby giving them legitimacy and inspiring confidence in their impunity, contributes to a biased opinion, does not allow for the possibility of innocence Mirzoyev and Gambarov in crimes imputed to them just because these people - visitors, "strangers". Power actually deny persons other than Russian, nationality the right to defend itself, in fact - in the right to life.

need to mobilize all forces to fight the real threat - the threat of fascism, the first signs of that - racism and intolerance. Public racism require public authorities, whose duty is to protect citizens' constitutional rights, an adequate response.

Authorities Petersburg should publicly condemn the activities of extremist nationalist groups, to effectively investigate crimes motivated by ethnic hostility, of 11 December, to bring the perpetrators to justice, properly and promptly respond to all cases of xenophobic public statements of any officials.

In accordance with the administration of St. Petersburg program "Tolerance" in the 2011-2016 years, the authorities should maintain namely anti-fascist initiatives. Attempts to criminalize minority, bans demonstrations of anti-fascists - when the actual support of Russian Fascists - refers to a deliberate sabotage of the program by the executive.

January 18, 2011

Each of them was interviewed by the Committee on 19 January, where he told where the threat of neo-Nazism in Russia why is it necessary to deal with him personally and to create community-based initiatives to confront it.

Andrei Loshak : «extreme right forces can unite and if we're all going to sleep, if we look at it with indifference, as if it does not concern us, they can take power in this country. Our task - not to be passive. We should not expect us to protect you from the arrival of neo-Nazis any government agencies. We must rely on themselves. So I it seems that in this sense, any social activity, in particular, this anti-fascist march - it is very important. And miss it, simply because the family children and in general it's cold outside - this is wrong, and this can then be bitterly regret »( fully here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Jd-gKCagg&feature=player_embedded ).

Sergei Mihalok : «They say it's posturing and populist - have their own social views. In fact, just this is very lacking in the art. For me, friendship, solidarity, equality of opportunity - it is very important stuff. I'm so alive, with such principles. In this case, I live in the totalitarian state in Europe »( fully here http://www.youtube.com/user/Komitet19 # p/u/0/sYlc33ePj5w ).

Yuri Saprykin : «It seems to me that all this is a logical consequence of what happened here in the last 20 years - a process total simplification of the social organism. This is a process in which both people and power, which is above these people stood as a gradually wean think, to work on themselves, to analyze all sorts of complicated processes. All these things were called by the words "Georgia" and "steam". And the main social order consisted is not to be loaded and no steam. All that is good in this life, exercise is achieved. Therefore, if you see that around there is something revolting and vile, then you need to find people who are vile do not like. Together with them to create International Goodwill and claim all possible ways that the black - that black and white - it is white »( fully here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnJb_LUEZnc&feature=player_embedded ).

Vlad Tupikin : «We have a multicultural country. She we have such a big, so strong, so beautiful and attractive only because there are tens and hundreds of nationalities. And in our city lives so much nationalities, which probably only has around the globe. And it is very good, it gives us extra strength, extra energy. And do not understand this - It is such stupidity! And I think that this stupidity is the main source of nationalism, the main source of Nazi violence. Attempt is very easy to explain complex things. The world has mixed and the world has always been mixed up »( fully here http://www.youtube.com/user/Komitet19 # p/u/1/G_0PrOzEl7Q ).

Kirill Medvedev : «Someone said about civil society, someone says about the solidarity of the exploited and oppressed, that is, all those on whom to prey bosses and bureaucrats who cheat policy, who are humiliated and beat cops who are killed by the Nazis. These are the people who constitute the majority in our society. And if that is most able to speak together, no Nazism is not. But as long as it is, it makes no sense to hide his head in the sand, it makes no sense to rely on power, it makes no sense to think for yourself a lot of excuses as to why you can not come on Jan. 19 at the monument Timiryazev at the beginning of the Tver parkway on the anti-fascist rally in memory of Markelov and Baburova. It is much easier to come in this procession, and say that this is our street, it's our city. City for all who work in it, and not for those who are managing it, destroys and kills »( fully Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL9h6rpP4Iw ).

Valery Balayan : «If we remain indifferent, it all comes to our house, of course. It is obvious that after how to expel people with the surname with the ending, as in my "yang", "-shvili", "-jo" or Central, then start figuring out who is a Russian who has the blood of cleaner. Then start the skull to measure, as we know it in history is. Therefore, let the people do not think those are the Slavic face, or ethnic Russian, that they are not affected. Necessarily be affected. So it works »( fully here http://www.youtube.com/user/Komitet19 # p/a/u/0/VPQfZ9Ewv_g ).
