The Cheka-OGPU learned that police officers are massively complaining about being forced to participate in events against “enemies of the people.” Officially, from November 7 to 16, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is conducting a comprehensive operational and preventive event “We are not on the same path with hatred and xenophobia.” According to the source, this is not know-how; under this slogan, “competitions” were previously held between the services of the Center for Extremism and Extremism to identify elements of Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, flash mobs and educational lectures on the topic “Extremism” were organized. Ordinary employees limited themselves at most to appeals and mailings to citizens, saying, if you have information about individuals, please report them. But this year, the management lowered the order to attract the participation of the majority of police officers, even from non-core services. With control of the results, as is customary. In fact, all prevention comes down mainly to monitoring social networks and identifying “enemies of the people.” The editors had at their disposal several similar reports from employees with very interesting formulations of the goals of this action. For example, the detective officer of the police line writes that as part of the operational-preventive measure “We are not on our way with hatred and xenophobia”, “aimed at suppressing recruitment, blocking the entry and exit of citizens of the CSTO states to participate in terrorist activities in the countries of the Middle East and the territory of other countries was monitored on the Internet, namely the social network VKontakte. In the process, the employee managed to identify a user’s page on which a campaign post was published calling for him to resign his post as President of the Russian Federation. Employees fear that they may be forced to engage in a “witch hunt” on a permanent basis, in conditions of an already total bureaucracy, new innovations such as mobilization measures and chronic staffing shortages.
