Petersburg detention.
03/12/2019
The trip of red-white fans to the cultural capital is traditionally the most massive and merciless. The past weekend in St. Petersburg was also highlighted by a recent incident with an insult to Artem Dziuba at the match of the national team in San Marino.
After a deafening reaction from the top officials of Russian football, accompanied by warnings of police harassment, the detentions were not long in coming. Only with what they were specifically connected, the police and the employees of the Center “E” did not explain the operation.
“The first calls began to arrive from Saturday afternoon,” Oleg Semenov, a Spartak fan and project manager for the Fans Hotline, reports to Novaya Gazeta. - After the match of youth teams. Many were detained and sent to the nearest police department in the Kalinin district. They imputed violations of the Code of Administrative Offenses, someone was torn off tickets for the Sunday match of the main teams. During the day, the “Hot Line” also received calls from detainees or their comrades. ”
“At the youth match, someone chanted obscenities about Dziuba, yes, and after the game everyone was kept for about an hour at the stadium,” confirms red and white fan Vladimir Grishin. - Someone was detained and taken away, someone during the day was still caught and detained.
In general, the St. Petersburg police prepared, a strong impression was created that there was a competition - who would bring the most fans of Spartak. “Knitted” people for various reasons: for alcohol, mate, something else. It was impossible to calculate the whereabouts of the detainees; calls and walking around departments did not give any result. Therefore, we are still in the dark - how many were detained and who still remains in the departments and is awaiting trial. ”
On Sunday, the main forces of support for the red and white, warned of a warm welcome, gathered in St. Petersburg. At the station, they were met by law enforcement officers, they copied the data. It was reported that among the operatives there were also representatives of the “E” Center. Oleg Semenov also confirms this information: “Already on the day of the match, detentions took place in certain public places - bars, cafes. Certain people. How they were calculated is a question, but knowing the capabilities of our law enforcement agencies to track messages and the location of a subscriber, we can say that the work went on purposefully. They said that they act in the framework of crime prevention. "
Despite the background created, no serious incidents were recorded either at the stadium or beyond. Passions raged only on the field. Swearing “charges” from both the guest and the master stands were suppressed by “jammers” - standard practice both in Russian arenas and abroad.
“Again, the organization of the match does not hold water,” adds Vladimir Grishin. - 5.5 thousand fans launched and released from the stadium on a single ladder. For security reasons? I will not tire of talking about this, because such a situation is a direct path to disaster. If it is a cultural capital, then we are who? ”
According to recent reports, 86 Spartak fans were detained in St. Petersburg, many were released after compiling the protocols, and some are awaiting trial. Perhaps it is there that the real reasons and circumstances of the detention of fans with the participation of employees of the Center “E” will become known.
And the main question - should the insult of the Russian national team player be considered extremism now?
