Press Release
December 6, 2012
On December 4, 2012, the third action of Vladimir Putin
supporters took place in front of the Krasnodar office of
the YABLOKO party. The action was organised by the Social
Justice public organisation uniting Vladimir Putin supporters.
The participants of the action burned the effigies of Sergei
Mitrokhin, Evgenia Chirikova and Alexei Navalny.
About 50 people participated in the �puting� (a word coined
of two words - �Putin� and �meeting� - and meaning a loud
action in support of Vladimir Putin). Most of them were elderly
people. They stated that �YABLOKO was trying to destroy Russia�,
and that �YABLOKO was fungus and moldiness parasiting on Russia�s
healthy body�.
Also the participants of the �puting� announced that Sergei
Mitrokhin had been living in Great Britain, Evgenia Chirikova
had been very frequent in the US on business visits, and Alexei
Navalny had been permanently residing in Chicago, Illinois,
the US. And all together � Mitrokhin, Chirikova and Navalny
� were foreign agents.
The performance of the party was �supervised personally by
Barack Obama�, and �cars, offices and office equipment of
the YABLOKO party and easy living� of its activists was sponsored
by the US Department of State. The West and the British Parliament
in particular �paid Mitrokhin for his reports� to his �employer�.
And YABLOKO activists gathered in YABLOKO�s head-quarters
signatures in favour of legalisation of drugs.
The activists from the Social Justice really believed that
all they were saying was true, moreover they actively defended
their stance. They recollected the phrase that �Putin raised
Russia from the knees� and made a conclusion that �being against
Putin means be against Russia and its Constitution�.
The action was taking place under the slogans �Hand off from
Putin� and �Honk if you are for Putin�.
The �puting� ended by burning of effigies of Sergei Mitrokhin,
Evgenia Chirikova and Alexei Navalny. Also the activists of
the Social Justice executed popular cartoon characters SpongeBob
SquarePants and his friend Patrick Star, as well as Kar-Karich,
a popular wise raven character from the Russian cartoon Smeshariki.
According to the information obtained by the Krasnodar branch
of YABLOKO, the participants of the �puting� came to the action
in exchange for a "gift" in the form of a "social
package" including different kinds of food-stuffs. This
information was given to YABLOKO activists by an elderly woman
who came to YABLOKO�s regional office by mistake on the eve
of the action and tried to get the "gift" promised
to her by a woman from the Social Justice named Oksana.
Several �puting� leaders who came to the action were marking
the participants in the tally sheet, so that to give the pensioners
the promised �gifts� after the action.
The event was guarded by police and Cossack militia, who
neither interfere, nor commented on the action.
It should be noted that similar actions took place in front
of the Krasnodar office of the YABLOKO party on November
1 and November 19.
