That people wanted to go to the barricades. 206 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,635 And then Putin would not be able to maintain his position. 207 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,757 To prevent that, they started betting on this youth project. 208 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,191 Nashi's main objective is - 209 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,757 - that when large political demonstrations are organized - 210 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,158 - then they simply occupy all the big places in the country. 211 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:07,832 First of all, it is important to know in advance - 212 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:14,149 - whether people are planning demonstrations, and where they will take place. 213 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,716 Then you start by occupying the place where they plan to meet. 214 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,798 When they see that the area is already occupied - 215 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,879 - then it destroys their plan. It is the easiest method. 216 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:38,918 Those who professionally plan and carry out mass actions - 217 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,955 - will have a monopoly on managing the political process. 218 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,277 It is a serious matter. 219 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:53,589 To be honest, so there are probably twenty others like me in Russia - 220 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,429 - who make a living by managing mass demonstrations. 221 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:03,590 Russia without Putin. Russia without Putin. 222 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,349 It is not just a fight for the right to demonstrate. 223 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:14,272 But also a fight for citizens' dignity and for democracy. 224 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,792 A fight for freedom in our country. 225 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,028 The authorities have the power. But we have the truth on our side. 226 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,039 They like to say, that Russia has a special democracy. 227 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,199 But it doesn't exist. Either there is democracy, or also� there is not. 228 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,995 We have a conversation: There are no semi-fresh fish. 229 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,113 It is fresh or not fresh. Democracy or no democracy. 230 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,118 There is no special democracy. 231 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,393 If a country says, that they have a special democracy - 232 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,388 - then it is a dictatorship. 233 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:04,033 - Welcome, summer camp. - Hello, summer camp! 234 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,755 For the seventh time, Vasily Yakemenko gathers Nashi's activists. 235 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,791 Nashi's summer camp is a laboratory for youth politics. 236 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,234 - Jurevich, here's one for you. - Thank you. 237 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,638 Despite my criticism of Yakemenko - 238 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,594 - I have to admit, that of all Russian politicians - 239 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,157 - he is the sharpest and most talented. 240 00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,115 There is the special thing about Vasily - 241 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,074 - that he is trying to pave the way for - 242 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,068 - that people are constantly developing and improving. 243 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,511 But if your development is at a standstill - 244 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,636 - then he reduces contact or becomes more unfriendly. 245 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,114 Vasily, would you like lunch at 13.30 or before? 246 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,596 Arthur has it under control, little Masha. 247 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,634 - Was the plan at 1:30 p.m.? - No idea. 248 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,793 How about moving it to 13? 249 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,039 - The rules must be followed, Masha. - I know that well. 250 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,199 So stop asking me about it. 251 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,957 - Vasily laughed and slept. - In a tent? 252 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,835 Yes, so I opened it.

They have declared war on us. 546 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,830 Show the posters with them, who have not yet been sentenced for - 547 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,919 - to condemn people in our society. 548 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:19,955 Step forward and make a row. 549 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,277 Let's say it together again: Shame! 550 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,554 Shame!

Stop! 557 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:12,157 Throw them now! That's where they belong. 558 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:18,435 They don't deserve to be in our country, in any civilized country. 559 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:25,159 Fourth row, throw away the posters. Fifth row, step forward. Now! 560 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,319 Sixth row, the last one. 561 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,588 I would not have felt comfortable being a spokeswoman there. 562 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:49,590 And afterwards it would be difficult to explain - 563 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,112 - that I meant something else. 564 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:50,634 It's shameful that cynicism is characteristic of my generation. 565 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:59,229 Conformity and cynicism. Our children will probably criticize us for it. 566 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:04,389 To wear shirts with pictures of the leaders, to march in ranks - 567 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,195 - and be part of beautiful movements like Nashi. 568 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:14,111 Our children will criticize us for that. And we will be ashamed to march - 569 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,915 - for when young people march in formation - 570 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:22,511 - so it's embarrassing. It is a sign of a depraved generation. 571 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:29,319 It's one thing when people become cynical and conformist, when they are 50 or 60 - 572 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:34,275 - but have you been like that since you were young, you're just a little old man. 573 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:39,918 So you have no future, for you are already old. 574 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:44,352 Masha Drokova is twenty, but she is already an old lady. 575 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,230 Some journalism students published an erotic calendar - 576 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,874 - out of love for Putin. 577 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,595 But another group of students also made a - 578 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,634 - where they criticized Putin. 579 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,918 In the second group of students were several of my friends. 580 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,829 One of them is Lisa, who is Masha's and my mutual friend. 581 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:42,589 Lisa feared, that she would get into trouble - 582 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:47,999 - because even the smallest criticism can have consequences. 583 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:55,157 I came walking down the street, it was dark and very dark. 584 01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:59,035 Suddenly I was scared. Would something happen? 585 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:04,439 - What if someone came? - Why were you afraid? 586 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:10,317 Did you hear about anything? Had others been assaulted? 587 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:17,835 Maybe I was thinking of the stories about journalists, have been killed. 588 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,669 Maybe I was just nervous. 589 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:26,874 It's like back then when the journalist Oleg Kashin - 590 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,675 - Governor Turchak called "crap Turchak". 591 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,839 So what happens to Kashin? Will he be bombed? 592 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:39,079 Will some guys lie in wait with a gun? 593 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:44,718 - But nothing happened. - Do you think it's imagination? 594 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,310 Perhaps the situation is a bit new to you - 595 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,830 - and maybe the stories should deter people. 596 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,873 Putin was blamed for Politkovskaya's death. 597 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,992 Why? He was made a scapegoat. 598 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:03,149 On Putin's birthday? Should he give himself that as a birthday present? 599 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:07,069 kill a journalist, who was critical of him? 600 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:11,034 It's ridiculous. He was made a scapegoat. 601 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:17,757 To reassure Lisa, Masha said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine. 602 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:23,239 It is safe to be a journalist. Take Kashin, nothing happened to him." 603 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:29,993 But a month later it turned out, that Masha was wrong because... 604 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:54,474 On Friday evening, journalist Oleg Kashin was subjected to a rough assault. 605 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,479 One of the options was to stand up and demonstrate - 606 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,070 - to provoke an official reaction. 607 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:20,393 We figured that it would take a few hours - 608 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,718 - but it actually went on for eight days. 609 01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:00,551 Masha Drokova appeared on the third day. 610 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,269 I knew that there would be hundreds of people - 611 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:16,759 - who had other opinions, and who did not care about me. 612 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,430 But I couldn't let it go. 613 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:28,468 I didn't feel that it was contrary to, what I stand for. 614 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:34,994 I am a journalist and a friend and colleague had been assaulted. 615 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:39,990 So I had to do what I could to solve the crime. 616 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,193 President Medvedev says, that the guilty will be punished. 617 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,872 i don't think that it was ordinary balls. 618 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,958 This is not what petty theft looks like. 619 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,118 So it was a premeditated attack. 620 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,349 There are protesters everywhere in Russia's capital. 621 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,553 They demand that journalists must be better protected. 622 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,309 And then they require a quick and thorough examination - 623 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,275 - of the gross assault on journalist and blogger Oleg Kashin. 624 01:09:19,480 --> 01:09:25,828 - Hello. How does it work? - It does. At least I try. 625 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,873 - Has he recovered a bit? - Yes. 626 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,197 - Have you seen it yourself? - No. 627 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:38,270 The doctors do not give any prognoses. 628 01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:42,029 - Were you allowed to visit him? - Only once. 629 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,438 The investigators have spoken to him, and he nodded at them, right? 630 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:52,510 No, not quite. It was like this: "Oleg, nod if you can hear us." 631 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:57,430 He nods. "Oleg, smile if you can hear us." And he smiles. 632 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:03,237 - His lungs are being ventilated, right? - Broken jaw. He can't speak. 633 01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:07,911 - How could he call you? - I don't know. 634 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,270 He came through the gate with broken fingers. 635 01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:23,793 He spoke to the deputy host and wrote on Twitter. 636 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:29,073 And asked him not to call 911. 637 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,716 But thank God he changed his mind. 638 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:39,075 He called from the ambulance and told me, where they drove him to. 639 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,398 - Did he pass out? - He was constantly conscious. 640 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,751 - But they put him in a coma? - Yes. 641 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,554 Won't they give a prognosis? 642 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,797 They are very careful. 643 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:04,034 - How are you? - Not so good. 644 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:11,794 I understand now that any of us could have been exposed to the same thing. 645 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,270 Isn't it an illegal demonstration? 646 01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:21,952 It's just... a megaphone. They are not allowed either. And what? 647 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:27,109 I would like to say a few words about the main actors. 648 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,629 About Vasily Yakemenko. 649 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:36,473 In the last five years, a "ministry of hate" has arisen in Russia. 650 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,912 And it works pretty well. 651 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:47,912 Oleg has fallen victim to this well-orchestrated hate mechanism. 652 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,794 - Is Masha here? - She participated in the demonstration. 653 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,913 - She has left Nashi. - Is she out? 654 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,954 In my eyes there are no ex-Nashis. 655 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:18,631 Before Kashin was assaulted, have several people been known for - 656 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,479 - to participate in "punitive actions". 657 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:26,276 We don't know their names. These are Vasily's friends. 658 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:34,959 It was not a specific incident, that made me leave Nashi. 659 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:50,878 When I was in the intensive care unit - 660 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,470 - I couldn't feel either arms or legs. 661 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:59,151 I knew the eyes were still there. I could see the ceiling. 662 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,556 When they read my journal to me - 663 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:13,154 - I was surprised, because normally you don't survive that kind of thing. 664 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,399 I had two skull fractures. One was in the temple - 665 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:22,390 - the most exposed place on the head. Now I have a titanium plate there. 666 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:29,830 If they wanted to kill me, it probably succeeded. 667 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:35,637 They gave me many chances to die, and thank God I did not accept them. 668 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,675 I have no doubt, that the assault can be traced back to Nashi. 669 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:48,236 Later he said - 670 01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:52,592 - that according to himself it was probably Nashi. 671 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:58,999 I know Vasily better, than Oleg does. 672 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:04,354 And I can say this much about Vasily - 673 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:09,680 - that he is rather cynical in his considerations - 674 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:14,556 - when it comes to, what his actions - 675 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,389 - can have consequences. 676 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,956 He always thinks a few steps ahead. 677 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:28,315 Vasily would not have acted like that - 678 01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,671 - when he knew that he would be suspected. 679 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:37,716 This joke comes from former manager of Nashi, Vasily Yakemenko. 680 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,436 This is how he writes about a journalist, was assaulted. 681 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,313 He calls him amphibian man and zombie. 682 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,432 "He lives, but his friends think he is dead. 683 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:54,272 The opposition refers to him in the past tense, so he must be a zombie. 684 01:14:54,480 --> 01:14:59,349 They amputated his fingers, but they grew back. So he's a reptile. 685 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:04,076 Soon he's breathing, soon not.
