In the early summer in central Moscow there were young people who have asked drivers to remove parked cars, preventing the passage of traffic and pedestrians. If the motorist refuses to comply with the request, he stuck to the windshield is a large round sticker that says "I do not care at all. Park wherever I want. " Volunteers are going to deal with rudeness until then, while not eradicated it from the roads of our country. This action caused a wide public response: some have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the actions of young people and others on the contrary are delighted that at least someone is trying to cope with rudeness on the roads. After about young fighters to traffic jams in the center, acting under the auspices of the Nashi movement, came to the press, the number of volunteers began to increase sharply. Now the guys enough to go "a shift" on weekdays in the amount of 5-8 persons. In addition, from time to time to join them and other youth movements. For example, last week, about 300 people stormed the wrong parked cars on Petrovka and nearby streets. At that time it ended in a fight with the owner of Lexus, parked in a crosswalk. To prepare this material correspondent of our publication came to Petrovka to communicate with the protesters "in the field." In my eyes immediately caught what many already know the children with stickers. Moreover, the reaction at all different - some ask for stickers to stick them on cars in his yard, and are grateful for the work, while others tsedyat through his teeth "arms to you, goats, pootryvat" and threatened to throw in jail. Ratio of the pros and cons about 50 to 50. From a legal point of view of the protesters can not find fault - their actions do not fall under any of the items of administrative responsibility. Organizer program Stopham Dmitry Chugunov explained that in the event of complaints from the drivers, all filmed. "The machine fit two people - one politely talking with the driver and the second is a record - he says. - A bit further away stands another man with a camera that's shooting from another angle. All our actions are clearly visible. Fighters with rudeness does not swear, do not spoil the property does not climb into a fight, even go Petrovka at a pedestrian crossing. Daily 30-40 stophamovtsy glue labels. By the way, stickers free of charge at the office of the Nashi movement. The traffic police on duty on the street, told our correspondent that since both started the action "Stopham movement on Petrovka better not to become - as parked in three rows, and parked. "They're not on duty here all day, but only during the day, many drivers already know them, and rearrange the cars away, but the stream of those who stands almost in the middle of the road never ends" - said the militiaman. Petrovka "Nashi", as they christened the local drivers have already become familiar. Many drivers who are often on this street, including a local taxi, depart at the request of the guys in another place. Note that the young people came only to those machines, which prevented the passage and the passage of pedestrians. That is, machines that stand in the second row, no one packed. The meaning of the action - not just stick the label, and talk to the driver, to explain what he was wrong. We found the leader of the program "Stopham Dmitry Chugunova what" Our "wish to achieve through their actions, how hard it is given and when the action is completed. - Why, of all boors your choice has fallen on motorists? - Jam in Moscow - a very topical subject, think Car Free Day, when the whole city turned into one continuous tube. So I came up with his friends to shoot the video drivers, cads. When we first started its operations, motorists were not ready for such an eventuality. People are confronted daily with the rudeness, but many prefer to simply pass by. We are trying to somehow influence the minds of people. Unfortunately, we can not fight against those who drive through red lights and the oncoming lane - do not run well for them. Although initially some of our supporters managed to catch up with these boors and gluing them stickers "I do not care at all. I go as I please. " But it is very unsafe, so this idea we refused. - Why did you "work" only on Petrovka? - Petrovka - this is one of the most important streets in Moscow, drivers abandoned cars in the middle of the roadway, without worrying about how others will go, although in this area have free parking. Behind them stand more cars, and this tube is ready. But this is - the center of town, right in front of the General Prosecutor's Office. Here, our work is noticeable, although many of our activists paste incorrectly parked cars in residential areas. We were often approach people asking to take a sticker to teach cads in their backyards. So, our stickers can be seen not only in the center. - You are only suitable for expensive cars? - We do not care what a car is parked properly - we come to the driver, not the machine. Of course, in most cases, drivers of expensive cars are more aggressive and easier for vehicle owners often leave in silence. In the elite cars in the 90% of cases are not sitting by their owners and drivers. These people are often fixed in the minds of the opinion that they all can only be because they are trusted to drive a car worth several million. Drivers often provoke conflict and resort to physical abuse. - You often have to deal with aggression - Yes, we have posted a few videos, which can be seen as drivers literally attack our children. A message about the fight last week, got all the media. We have repeatedly taken away to the police but no charges us there could not show - we do not violate the law. We simply write an explanatory note and let us go. Not everyone will be able to communicate with drivers, aby whom we have not admitted to this case. I was threatened with knives and pistols, and just hand to hand with death - I can razrulivat such situations, until recently, trying to translate the conflict in a peaceful direction. Before me in a pair of machines approached the girl, but one day she just has not got one angry driver - he began wringing her hands. Since then she has back-up shooting. - What do you want to achieve their action? - We want people to learn to think a head: "What would happen if I stop here? Do not hurt anybody's My Car? "We want people to be able to negotiate with each other. That the citizen could come up and politely asked not to violate the rules, and the answer he would not mate and aggression, and an appropriate response. Why someone might refuse to travel in a car at work because of the fact that there is nowhere to park near the office, and someone is still going and puts the car so that others can not drive? The purpose of our action is to prevent people from looking at others, but start with yourself. Every day we were on duty at Petrovka, and rude drivers in parked cars are already aware that we need them approached. We have for anybody make no exceptions. Moreover, we do not just ask to remove the car from the roadway, and offer an alternative - we tell where the next free and paid parking. Action "Stopham" will continue as long as we do not rid the streets of this boors. Text: Olga Zabelkina. Photos: Olga Zabelkina.
