And what about Russia is wrong? Putin says that he revives the greatness of Russia. In fact, the country is declining

An extensive surveillance system is built in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous District. Residents cannot be hidden by any step, the police will immediately recognize about everything. Control is carried out with the help of new technologies. Journalist Buzzfeed Megha Rajagopalan went to the West of China to see it with his own eyes, and told how modern police state looks like.

How really the police state of the XXI century looks like

Kashgar is a city where you can convey to you for growing a beard, invite too many people to a wedding or call your child with Muhammad or Medina.

To get to the neighboring city, you will need to pass the CAT, where the armed police will check your phone for prohibited applications, such as Facebook or Twitter, will review your messages to make sure that you have not used any religious language.

You will be scary to call friends or family abroad, because a few hours later, police officers can knock on the door and set a few questions. Surely they listen to the telephone line.

This anti-dust future has already come in the western regions of China. In four hours of flight from Beijing, in the city of Xinjiang, people already live under total supervision - control is carried out with the help of the latest technologies and the police. This region is the birthplace of the Muslim ethnic minority of Uigurov. This spring, thousands of Uigurs and other ethnic minorities fell into the so-called political educational centers. They were accused of using Western applications and learning in Muslim countries.

Over the past two months, the journalist buzzfeed talked with more than twenty Uigurs, including exile and those who stayed in Xinjiang, about their lives in China. Most asked to remain unknown, because they fear that the police would arrest their families.

The Chinese government argues that such security measures are simply necessary in Xinjiang due to the threat of extremist violence by Uigur militants. In the region periodically obstacles are obstacles: in 2009, almost 200 people died during the riots, in 2013 and 2014 several times attacked people with knives. The government is also confident that it went to Uigur: a lot of money is spent on the development of the region, the residents are much easier to enter universities and receive state jobs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China stated that they did not know about the observation measures that local authorities introduced.

"I am confident that the inhabitants of Xinjiang live a happy and peaceful life. We have never heard of these measures introduced by local authorities, "answered the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Lu Kang.

But analysts and communities on the protection of human rights are confident that about nine million Uigurs respond to the actions of just a few real extremists - and these are more than half of the population of the region.

Government supervision in Xinjiang affects the most prose aspects of the daily life of people. D., Young Ugurka living in Turkey says he can not communicate with his grandmother living in a small Xinjiang village. A few hours after each call, the police knock on her door, demanding to call back in their presence. "Lord, I'm not going to talk with my 85-year-old grandmother about how to destroy China!", D. said

She invited her family living in Xinjiang to a wedding. Now Uigur is almost impossible to get a passport, so D. even postponed his wedding for several months in the hope that the situation will improve.

Finally, in May she managed to talk with her mother on a video in Wechat, popular Chinese Messenger. When she asked her mother, as they were doing, she replied that everything was fine. Then one of her relatives, fearing that the conversation overhears the police, wrote on a sheet of paper: "We could not get passports." As soon as they finished the conversation, D. burst out.

The Chinese government has invested billions in the development of the best observation technologies in Xinjiang - from the camera recognition cameras at gas stations that patrol the border.

This is practiced not only in China. Governments of different countries - from the United States to Great Britain - spend billions on security technology to prevent the threats of terrorism. But in China, where the courts managed by the Communist Party are incorporated by 99.9% of suspects, consequences for the population of catastrophic. Many have come to prison after they demanded more rights, glorified the history and culture of Uigurov or talked about the outstanding scientist Ilhame Tuxi (Chinese economist, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the protection of the rights of the Uygur minority - approx. Ed.).

Over the past twenty years, China has gradually raised the restrictions in Xinjiang, especially after uniform and violent attacks, but the observation measures have tightened significantly after appointment in the region of the new party boss in August 2016. Chen Tsyuango, head of the PDAs of the Xinzian-Uygur Autonomous Region, introduced a new type of management The population: now in the region at each corner there are police and military, and after every hundred meters there are police stations. Also began to send residents to political educational centers much more often (this year thousands of people were accused there). According to the researcher Adrian Zentsu, for six months of the Board of Chen Tsyuango, the costs of protection increased by 45%. Part of this amount was spent on moving tens of thousands of policemen. Maine Jiangju, Minister of Public Security of the People's Republic of China, during his speech in August called to use the DNA database and to ensure security in Xinjiang. This corner of the country has become a window into an anti-duct future observation technologies. Analysts believe that Xinjiang is just the beginning of the era of supervision throughout the country.

"This is an open prison. The "cultural revolution" returned [to the region], and the government is not even trying to hide anything. Everything is open, "said Omer Kat, director of the project to protect the rights of Uygurov (in Washington).

Cashgar city is the cultural heart of the Uygur region. On the planted trees, the street of a sleeping area, among bakeries and nappies, is an impressive building surrounded by a high concrete fence with barbed wire. The fence is glued with colored posters with slogans like "Love a batch, love the country."

In this building there is a center for education, training and development of professional skills, at least it is written on the sign at the entrance. "As soon as I took out the phone and took a photo of the building, a policeman ran up to me and asked to immediately remove the picture. I asked him: "What are they taught here?" To which he replied: "I do not know, just delete the photo", "the journalist writes. Before that year, the building was a school. But according to three people who have relatives here, is now a political educational center. Such institutions in the region are more than a hundred, here the Uigurs are held for several months, they study Chinese, Chinese laws and listen to what good government in China. "People here disappear. Many of my friends are missing, "the business owner said in the area.

He did not hear about them anymore, and even their families cannot contact them. With the last spring, thousands of Uigurs and representatives of other minorities were exiled to such institutions. And although these centers are not new, the region of their tasks and powers has significantly expanded over the past few months in Xinjiang.

Through holes in the fence you can see the courtyard, in the center of which is a white statue in Soviet style, a red poster with a patriotic slogan and another little police station.

Chinese state media recognize the existence of such centers and talk about their infinite benefits for the Uigur population. In an interview with the state newspaper Xinjiang Daily, the 34-year-old Uygur farmer said that thanks to the political education provided in the center, he realized that the style of his behavior and clothing was propaganda of "religious extremism".

Political educational centers are not a form of criminal punishment in China - people who are sent there, official accusations and sentences are not appointed. Therefore, it is difficult to say what exactly encourages the authorities to send people to these centers. It is believed that the cause can be relatives who were accused of crime, prohibited applications or religiosity.

Obviously, in the risk group also those who traveled to Muslim countries or who has a relative who traveled abroad. Due to the ubiquitous observation, communicate with relatives living abroad is almost impossible.

A man emigrated to another country, said his wife demanded a divorce so that the police cease to ask her questions.

"It's very dangerous to call home. Once I called relatives and classmates, but after that the police were guided to them, and they asked me to no longer call me, "said another person living in Ankara.

Uygur student R. Madly wanted to go to learn abroad. However, due to new laws, a passport for Uigurs was almost impossible. The family had to gather $ 1500 to bribe the official.

R. moved to the city in Turkey, where he began to study the Turkish language and gradually dive into the country's culture, which is partially similar to Uigur. But he missed the family. Nevertheless, he tried to call home as much as possible so as not to bring trouble.

The Uygur family passes by the surveillance camera. Photo: buzzfeed.

"My parents live in the village, so even one call from abroad the police will immediately recognize. It is obvious, "R. said

In March R. found out that his mother was taken into a political educational center. His dad alone ruled the farm, none of the family could contact her. R. was desperate.

Two months later, he finally received a news from the mother. She called him and said, as grateful to the Communist Party of China.

"I am sure that she did not want to talk it. She would never have said such. The feeling was created that a policeman standing next to her, "R. shared

Since then, parents have not called him. He did not speak with them since May.

Many companies, mostly Chinese, have found the opportunity to earn more thanks to the demand for observation equipment.

Researchers have found that China is investing enormous money in the development of observation technologies. Zenz carefully followed the expenses of the government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous District on the security system. He said that this year, compared with 2013, the authorities will spend five times more money on information transfer technology, computer services and software. Zenz noted that this year the draft budget appeared for the first time to create a "general information platform". In addition, the government hired tens of thousands of new security officers. Armed police, military and volunteer brigades patrol each Kashgar Street, stopping passersby for selective identification of the personality and sometimes check phones on prohibited applications or VPN.

Cameras are installed everywhere. According to news messages, in some parts of the Uigur region forced the application to the phone, which monitors the messages and checks them for the presence of "illegal religious content" and "harmful information".

Internet in the region is unbearable slow. May Wenng, researcher in Human Rights Watch - a non-governmental organization that monitors human rights violations - documented the use of DNA database and voice recognition technology in Xinjiang.

"When I passed past a gearbox in two kilometers east of Kashgar, the policeman began to check the phones of suburban passengers (I was sent in a separate queue for foreigners, where I did not need to show the phone). Their faces were then scanned to check whether they correspond to identification cards. In the corner of the room stood white shiny machines for scanning the entire body, "says Megha Rajagopalan.

Fuel stations have the same equipment. Before referring, the locals should leave the car so that their face is scanned and checked, whether they coincide with identification cards. The journalist was asked to just show a passport.

"Since Xinjiang is not a stable region, we managed to sell a lot of equipment to local authorities. In Xinjiang, drones are used on the eastern border, "the owner said a small company that produces drones and other safety equipment.

The government concludes contracts with companies such as Beijing Wanlihong Technology Company, which are engaged in the production of recognition systems on the iris.

"The goal of the system is to create a powerful and external identification system to identify key suspects and initiate emergency response mechanism," is written on the company's website.

The data is collected and used to track the physical movement of suspects on the roads, in addition, the data on sites that they visited, and messages are transmitted by cellular operators.

In the first three months of 2017, the income of Leon Technology has increased by 260%, which integrates to security services and then provides them with telecommunications companies and government agencies in Xinjiang and in China as a whole.

"The Government of Xinjiang is forced to spend huge amounts on the protection of the ownership of people and the safety of their lives. So they guard the world, stability and development of the region, "- written in the article on their website.

James Labold, Adjunct Professor at the University of La Tourba in Australia, conducts a study on security measures in Xinjiang. He argues that the most people in the region are in the field of security.

"Marketers in Shanghai call the XXI century Golden era investment in the security industry in Xinjiang," he said.

Leibold noted that, despite the latest equipment, it is still unclear how effective methods for analyzing a huge number of video and audio recordings are still. But it is clear that the government pours huge money to get this data.

"In a sense, it looks like a high-tech version of the" cultural revolution "," said Zenz, bearing in mind the Era of Mao Zedun, when the neighbors reported to each other to punish those who were opponent of the party.

Many state-owned companies use Xinjiang as a platform for testing large data, "said Zenz. This region has always been a platform for testing observation technologies, which were then introduced in other parts of the country. Some companies, with the support of the government, even discovered research laboratories here.

"This is something like advanced laboratories for observation. Since they are hidden from society, there may be more experiments there, "said Zenz.

Of course, security measures in Xinjiang are too harsh, nevertheless, it is clear that in part in the government thus expands the use of technology throughout the country. Outside of the region, hundreds of criminals were arrested thanks to the technologies of individuals. At the Beer Festival in Qingdao, 49 criminals were caught, who are in a police database. They were suspected of theft and drug trafficking.

At the same time, residents believe that there are too many police officers on the streets that track each step.

You fell on this page to return from the skies to the ground. This page exists clean to remind that not so with your country. I live in France, because you are not surprised by constant comparisons with France (Germany even better).
Below are given only verified facts, I basically do not make any conclusions.

You are the largest and most rich resources Country on the planet, France is 35 times less than Russia. In Russia, lives only twice as many people than in France.

According to this, and not only in this, Russia is included in the top3 of the worst countries for pensioners of this planet.
Five, hmm, already six, the years of your pension "frozen" in fact irrevocably went to war in Ukraine and Syria.

In the XXI century, Russia committed exactly two Scientific discoveries 117 and 118 Elements of the Mendeleev table were obtained by a joint Russian-American group on the Soviet Equipment, and Grigory Perelman proved the Poincaré hypothesis (and, as all real scientists do from Russia, but they say Perelman saw in St. Petersburg).

In Iceland, this figure is 0.3 , in Spain 0.8 , in France 0.9 , in the mid-armed US 4.6 Murners on the same 100,000.
In all of France, less murdes are performed for the year (822) than in one Moscow is registered for 6 months.

... in Moscow the number of persons dead As a result of criminal encroachments, increased by 226% and amounted to 1842 cases.

For the sake of interest, try to find official unambiguous murder statistics in Moscow, year-corpses. You will not find! It is not published and in every way hiding, and the numbers vary by magnitude in different sources.

You yourself imposed sanctions and burn food with hundreds of tons when pensioners mruh from hunger in the nursing homes. By the way, the food that is so excitely burned and buried - they were not sent for you for free, you burn the money of your own business.

Putin rules? Mistake. Yes, as this "slave on the gallery" can rule something except for its own tool - oars! And the most important thing: it is necessary to keep in mind that the slave on the galley is not just a row on the boat, this row is chained to this gallery itself. And what is even more important: the rowing is argued to fulfill someone else's will through coarse force.

"If Putin was given to leave, he would have gone with pleasure. One of his first interviews, it was officially published, with Berezovsky, when Berezovsky asks for him: Vladimir Vladimirovich, would you like? .. - I would like as you: get a lot of money and live abroad ... "

You see, he would like, but who will allow him!

If the copyright holder does not remove the video, you can see the cutting interviews of Professor VSH Yu.A. Nesnevich.

So, if not Putin controls the country, then who? ..

To answer this question, turn to the history of Russia, starting from the Leninsky times of the Board. As you know, the first persons in the country are especially protected, and after the incident with Fanny Kaplan, the guard has been strengthened, and special authorities began to engage in these cases. Moreover, candidates for personal protection of the leader were appointed by the highest party power.

There is a certain important pattern. It turned out that personal protection of the leader in the country was always appointed by his successor. The guard of Vladimir Ilyich picked up Stalin, and the guard of Stalin picked up ... Probably, do not believe it - N.S. Khrushchev. Many are convinced that this was engaged in Beria, but it is not. Pavlovich Lavrenty was completely absorbed by the "atomic project", and, most likely, he did not initiate removal with further arrest in April 1952, General N.S. Vlasika from the position of the Personal Guard Stalin. The historical phrase, said by General during arrest: "I was arrested, it means that there will be no Stalin soon.".

Colonel N. Novik was appointed the new head of Stalin's protection. In any case, such appointments were to be approved for the Politburo, and then immediately led by N.S. Khrushchev.

See, please interview historian Alexander Nikolayevich Dugina.

But it will be even more interesting. Nikolai Petrovich Novik at the time of the crisis, led to the death of Stalin, was absent, because, they said, was in a hospital with an attack of purulent appendicitis, and therefore, others managed to accelerate the acceleration of a seriously ill leader. Managed this operation directly by N.S. Khrushchev together with S.D. Ignatiev, then Minister MGB of the USSR. Under this case, a sort of "gasket" was put in the form of the famous "doctors' case" - it is clear that there was someone to fall on the guilt for the death of the leader. And then rapidly arrested Beria and even more rapidly immediately shot, because they feared that someone who, and Lavrenty Pavlovich very quickly expose the true perpetrators of the death of Stalin.

By the way, when the Khrushchev was filmed, they first completely changed his personal security. Nikita Sergeevich is not a fool - I immediately understood everything and did not turn into the future, I repeated, in general, agreed with the resignation.

Then, after many years later, Leonid Ilyich will be ascertained on peace: "Let go ... Say, Star, I am already able to manage such a mahina." But who will allow a slave that way to take and leave the gallery with nothing with anyone. So I drove the paddle to the coffin. Imagine, we believed that Leonid Ilyich says - it will be. Because he has power. That will say: "I'm leaving, and you went all to hell," it will rise and go home, and will no longer go to work in the Politburo office. In the morning I will go fishing, then to the cottage. In winter to hunt. Well, well, dream - it is not harmful. However, in order, there is a personal guard, which in the morning raises neither the light either dawn, packed as it should and takes where necessary. And make it work, that is, row oars.

And Gorbachev, he could not take this way, and leave the foros? Of course I could! But he had security - and that says it all. Who would allow the next slave to escape from the galleys. Boris Nikolayevich, when it understood everything, I just went in stuff. As a result, the paddle falling out of his hands often had to raise his personal guard. This pretty simple way to care from responsibility noticed and accounted for, and when appointing the next rowing to the galleys, he was just forbidden to drink! Maybe "stitched", maybe they took a subscription ... - Who knows them. And the country is how rejoicing! Look, they say, this one is completely ... Even a drop in your mouth! And he would be happy to sometimes relax purely in our respective, taking a stack-other, but where there ... personal security here is like here. Tracks, protects health. Simulators, swimming, night hockey - Please, this "slave on the gallery" is allowed.

Hopefully, now the reader realized that the country was managed not the symbol of power - the President, and the one who appoints him to guard, or those who manages those who appoint protection. Remember, there was such gold. So it was not he prescribed security. He was the nearest security guard, such as General Vlasik. Zolotov entered the FSO structure, some kind of department there. It is clear, the FSO is someone headed, but there is a group that assigns the FSO head. But what is important! There is a group that selects persons in the personal protection of the "slave on the gallery" so that I did not run out or did not drink. In short, I performed the responsibilities of the symbol of power.

We have experienced important elections here, and some just walked around, they rush into the "slaves", naively dreaming, which will rule. But you know, they can invite. Welcome Alexey Anatolyevich, will say. First, after the appointment, there will be pompous meetings, foreign techniques, the benefit of the airfield is always under the pairs, there will be television shows, a service station will appear, escort with flashers. Then, when the "slave" goes to taste, asked to take up the paddle and ... row ... to a coffin board, because they branches with chains, as it should be slave on the galley. And notice ... Not a drop in your mouth! Family or what will remain from the family will try to escape. But where there. Protection and there everyone, who needs, will find and immediately "will guard" the dinner and Nostano.

"Slave on the gallery" is called upon to fulfill someone else's will. At the same time, the responsibility for everything carries a slave. Does not really, it turns out great! To comply with the visibility of constitutional authorities, "Slava" will be resolved - no, most likely, it will be coordinated - to conduct television shows in which the "slave" will demonstrate the direct exercise of power. The general prosecutor and to pinch someone will run in the studio, and the "slave" from the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers in the eyes of the honest people suddenly will be equipped with children's sandboxes, and at the same time hesitates unrelated husbands to be loyal to some women's cereals. The population and the electorate are delighted! Oh, yes, the "slave" will be allowed to take credentials - so they have it there.

But if he tries to spend some "May decrees," it will end in the same way as the deofshorization of the country. Remember, in a distant 2013 in his message, Putin asked for the Federal Assembly, asked to deal with the problem of offshore, that is, to deafshorization of the country's economy. And now today the government finally refused the idea of \u200b\u200bthe forced translation of systemic companies from offshore to Russian jurisdiction. It is impossible, concluded by the Commission in the relevant report of the First Deputy Prime Minister I. Shuvalov. Transferring to Russian, "slave on the gallery" simply sent nafig with his problem of deofshorization.

I support the statements of Yulia Anatolyevich. In his article, "" I wrote: "Absolutely no matter who today or in 2018 will become the president of the Great Feudal Power - Putin, Medvedev, Sobyanin, Navalny, is no importance for the country and its inhabitants." Therefore, it is necessary to change the system, and not be content with a shift on the operating "slave" gallery on any other. But how to do it - no one knows. Because no one risked honestly admit that there is no democracy in the country for a long time, but an neo-factor system. So what elections can we talk about? The entire pathos of future applicants for the position of "slave on the gallery" comes down to the banal slogan "All the corrupt officials will put!". But who will allow him to.

In addition, there are no corruption in Russia. This is just such a system challenge. And the "slave", which came to the symbolic presidential post of the Great Feudal Power, will do the same thing that his preceding "slave on the gallery" did.

Welcome all those wishing to the gallers in slaves!

Sergey Dementev

What makes the country the country, and the state state? In fact, universal definition simply does not exist. Try to consider the map attentively - and you will find that the world is full of tiny, none of recognized states, many of whom have all the signs of a normal country. Your flag, its own currency, its own laws, their own territory: you have 9 odious states that are not going to take positions even under the threat of war.

Moskitia

Nicaragua

In 2009, one of the provinces of Nicaragua, quite unexpectedly for everyone, announced its own independence. The position of the ruler is called the great judge of the Nation of Moskitia. Her dental occupies Hector Williams, who declared the international press that the nation went to independence of the whole 115 years.

Lakota

USA

In 1868, the tribe of Indians Lakota SiU signed an agreement with the US government. According to him, Black Hills Mountains left the Indians forever. In a few years, gold - Indians were found in the mountains, naturally, drove away with dirty rags. A hundred years later, the US Court decided to pay the Lakota compensation, but the proud red pigs did not take. And in 2007, they simply announced the creation of the Republic of Lakota, a sovereign state. The United States, of course, not to recognize him, but also no rush to quarrel with the indigenous population. Those just live by our rules.

Principality Hatt River

Australia

Farmers family decided to establish their own state, since the Australian government too strongly twisted the nuts. Own currency, postage stamps and titles, which can have every wealthy person. The guys from Hatt River struggled with the state several decades, while the latter is simply not tired. Now members of the Casli family (the founders of the principality) do not need to pay taxes.

Somaliland

Somalia

Legally, Somaliland is still considered part of Somalia. The international community also perceives Somaliland as part of Somalia - but it, in turn, is not in a hurry to enroll in the real state. Thus, a trip to Somaliland is a double journey to legal anywhere.

Barotselend.

Zambia

The only mobile kingdom of the modern world. Every year, the Zambezi River comes out of the shores, winding pastures and forcing people to move above in the territory. The history of the kingdom lasts for five centuries, but still not recognized by other countries.

Transnistria

Moldova

A small, unrecognized state is located on the left and right banks of the Dniester. Officially, Transnistria is considered part of the Republic of Moldova, but local residents do not think so. Its president, its own currency - the situation around this state is characterized as a sluggish conflict.

Seborg.

Italy

Located near the Italian border with Monaco, Seborg is obliged to independence by the chapter of Giorgio Carbon Flower Cooperative. In search of a cheap spot under its site, this guy raised old documents and found, suddenly, that the city is not much part of Italy anywhere. Seborg still pays for Taxes of Italy, but local consider themselves a separate nation
