January 19, 2011 will celebrate two years since the assassination of two anti-fascists - a lawyer Markelov and Anastasia Baburova. Both were killed in Moscow in broad daylight, near the Kremlin, shot in the head. Killers from the midst of neo-Nazis detained, the court will soon ... The public can calm down?
None.
Every year in our country there are dozens of far less resonant murder motivated by ethnic hatred. Their victims are 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 Soviet times, imaginary or real, came to national intolerance, hatred of the unlike, for speaking in another language, having a different shape of the eyes, a different hair color, different shade of skin. But neither the authorities nor the public did not dare to raise this issue.
A year ago, before the anniversary of the assassination of Stas and Nasty, people who knew them and belong to different parts of the Russian public movement professing different views on the present and the future of our country, united in the Committee on 19 January, to say a resounding "No!" Nazi terror.January 19, 2010 the first in the anti-fascist demonstrations and rallies in downtown Moscow, attended by about fifteen hundred people.
As it turns out now, a year later, the protest was more than timely. Perhaps he was even late. In any case, the events of December 11-15 in Moscow and other cities have shown that the Nazis did not lower their heads that far-right ideas penetrated the broad masses of young people, and these masses are poorly educated and poorly educated in the years of the Yeltsin-Putin's timelessness of people ready to Enforced action.
There was in those days and the question: what is the anti-fascists? Why do not they have a wall, a living barrier to the raging Nazi? The answer is simple: the state, brought them all the power of his police car.Searches, mass round-up of concerts, arrests, knocking testimony - that has become a reality for the anti-fascists, not the educational activities among the youth, not cultural activities, not production of literature and even sports tournaments in wrestling and football, which had carried the young anti-fascists in 2009.
At that time, the Nazis carried out legal "Russian March", conferred and flaunted in front of journalists in expensive hotels, as well - continued to kill innocent - janitors, handymen, teens ...The Nazis at this very moment trying to become "respectable" to show government and business that may be the backbone of "order" in a difficult economic and political situation that they can and do the dirty work, and to defile in ironed shirts and ties.
This parade has resulted in Manege Square and, judging by the lack of any real action to find and punish the organizers had in mind to someone in the high walls of the Kremlin.
In this situation, the Committee on January 19 expresses the need for cohesion and solidarity among all the opponents of Russia slipping into the abyss of nationalism.We call on all honest people, who cherish the ideals of freedom, justice, and just normal life in our country, people of different nationalities, religions, beliefs and life principles - to enter the anti-fascist demonstrations in Moscow and other cities of our country.
This will not only share the memory, not just a commemoration of the dead - Stas Markelov Nasty Baburova and many others.January 19, 2011 should be a day of determination, the day of protest day against the threat of fascism in Russia.
Gathering at a demonstration in Moscow: 19 January 2011, at 19 o'clock near the monument Timiryazev Nikitsky Gate, at the beginning of the Tver parkway. For details see the next few days on the website of the Committee on January 19: 19jan.ru
