The best way to disperse the crowd. Hitler's weapons work to disperse the crowd. More than three do not gather
An organized crowd (gathered to hold a protest action, rally, procession) can act peacefully and with the use of violence.
The peaceful crowd holds posters or flags in their hands, shouting threats, demands, insults to the authorities. People try to communicate with
commandos, arouse their sympathy, sympathy, convince them not to interfere, not to arrest the participants. It happens that the leaders of the crowd give instructions to insult and threaten the special forces in order to provoke violence. Demonstrators can block the street, block traffic and the entrances to government buildings. Sit-down demonstrations are practiced, as well as such methods of peaceful resistance - clasping hands or handcuffing oneself to a fence or to each other. In order to complicate dispersal, they can put the elderly and women with children in the front ranks.
If the erection of barricades begins, then the leaders have given the command to begin active resistance with the use of violence. Cars, trees, furniture, fences are used for barricades - all this complicates the work of special forces. Of particular danger are arson and the use of explosives, although stones, bricks, sticks, baseball bats, and paint-filled balloons (which are thrown into buildings) are more commonly used. In order to block special forces access to the area of the action, they set fire to buildings or gasoline spilled along the street. Leaders have been known to let snipers on rooftops shoot down a few commandos to provoke violence in return (the same trick the government can use). It is not easy to counter small groups that disperse quickly and reassemble just as quickly.
The main task is to receive timely information from agents about the planned riots (data on leaders, time, place, number
participants, their goals, their possession of weapons). Leaders can be arrested or warned officially about the inadmissibility of violence. Liquor stores and pharmacies should be temporarily closed at the demonstration site (people can break into a pharmacy to take drugs). It is possible that a peaceful demonstration turns into a mess. In this case, the entire zone is immediately isolated so that passers-by do not join the demonstrators and so that none of the violators escapes. Once the crowd is isolated, time begins to work for you. Barriers, checkpoints are put up, cars are used to block the place.
Two perimeters are immediately formed - an internal one (to stop the spread of unrest and an external one (to keep outsiders out). If we work in a large crowd, the special forces form a ring shoulder to shoulder. call on the inhabitants of the city or even the country to mass actions of disobedience.It is very important to establish contact with the leaders of the crowd and convince them to prevent or stop the violence, or to take the crowd to a safer place (park, wasteland).
An effective dispersal method is to disperse the crowd, its purpose is to "break" the crowd into pieces. To do this, the crowd is addressed with a "persuasive request" to disperse (do not try to shout or give the crowd an order), reminded of the illegality and criminal liability for violence. If, despite the measures taken, the crowd behaves aggressively, it is necessary to line up and attack with clubs, water cannons, tear gas or stun grenades. To "cut" the crowd, they build a "wedge", and to calm a small group, they take it into the ring. Most often, the use of batons is quite effective.
Leaders and active rioters are the first to be arrested

TACTICS OF CRUSHING DEMONSTRATIONS
Diary "Direct Action", August 26, 2007
http://www.liveinternet.ru/community/1827624
Mass events are a headache for all special services, especially for the police. First, a poorly organized crowd must be kept within a certain space (squares, streets, etc.). Secondly, the authorities need to protect citizens and their property from encroachment by protesters (a favorite Russian pastime is stealing something or smashing someone on the sly). Thirdly, to protect the protesters themselves - both from terrorists and from their political or sports opponents. And since there are a lot of cameras at such events, every fact of violation of the order is fraught with organizational conclusions.
In the event of an emergency situation, ordinary cops will act tough, but stupidly. They have no crowd control skills. Organized rallies and actions are dispersed by OMON and VV fighters. The overclocking technique is simple. First of all, the crowd must be scared. To do this, the unit is trained to act in a coordinated manner and with maximum psychological effect. Even before the crowd approached the cordon, the fighters of the first rank make three blows with a club on the shield and one blow on the air. Such gestures, which are made by 50-60 healthy men, clad in armor, impress the front rows of the protesters and make them slow down. In parallel, capture groups located behind the main line are removed from the crowd of activists and leaders. The cordon opens and releases a square of 10-20 fighters, who snatch a particularly active instigator from the crowd, turn him off, and then transport him beyond the line of the main cordon.
In dispersing the crowd, the decisive role is played not by technique, but by tactics. There are several rules that must not be violated if you are striving for a bloodless dispersal of a rally or procession. First of all, one must not create panic in the crowd, otherwise trampled people cannot be avoided, even if the action takes place in an open field. The demonstration must be handled like a truck on a slippery road, that is, driven without sudden movements. The crowd has great momentum, so rule number two is: a moving crowd must not be suddenly stopped, otherwise the back rows will trample the front rows or the whole mass will demolish any cordon, no matter how many Rambos are standing in it. From this follows the third rule: a moving crowd must always leave an escape route that will allow it to be divided into several streams. The area with the protesters is cordoned off by the police, who gradually begin to squeeze the crowd towards a fairly wide street. As soon as the crowd began to move in the right direction, the street is blocked (and not across, as the commander of all OMON, General Kozlov, likes to do, but with a wedge, the tip of which is directed towards the crowd - this is the only way it can be divided into two parts). Two or three lanes are left for the movement of the crowd. In the future, these streams are crushed into smaller ones, and then filtered.
To competently disperse a mass event, you need to thoroughly know the area. In the Moscow police department, plans for potentially dangerous areas are usually drawn up by people who do not know the area. And even the most zealous do not consider it necessary to make adjustments to them in connection with changes in the territory (construction, road repair, etc.).
Punctures happen even at specially protected objects. During arrivals and departures of VIPs, riot police are stationed in the vicinity of Vnukovo-2. The cordon is set up in accordance with the plans approved at the very top, the implementation of which is monitored by the FSO, the FSB, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Nevertheless, in 2004, summer residents were detained several times near Vnukovo-2, who were picking mushrooms nearby at the time of landing of Putin's board ... It turned out that there was no section in the fence. On paper, the fence was intact...
What can we say about the territories that are not under such strict control. For example, it may well turn out that the alley into which the flow of demonstrators is heading is blocked by a construction site. In this case, no matter how good the plan to disperse the masses on paper, it is unlikely that the crippled will be avoided.
It is no coincidence that such events are usually led by FSB officers. During the rallies, there are several (sometimes several dozen) fighters of the operational-search department (“tihars”) among the protesters. They may act under the guise of journalists or representatives of public organizations (including Western ones). The main task of the fringes is to isolate leaders and activists. In addition, they monitor the mood of the crowd, monitor emerging incidents. Based on this information, the head (coordinator) of the operation makes a decision on the tactics and methods of dispersal. Next comes the police.

I was an employee of the operational response company of the operational police regiment from 1979 to 1985. This is the so-called reserve - the first special forces group of the North-West region, which was created specifically for the 1980 Olympic Games and after that it remained. Then it was reformed into SOBR, when OMON was created. From 1985 to 1990, I worked as the head of a special guard of the 5th security detachment of the USSR Ministry of Finance, was engaged in escorting special cargo in Russia and abroad (Korea, Vietnam), and was engaged in instructor activities. Since 1994, I was invited as a senior instructor to the Typhoon special forces, where I was engaged in special combat training, trained almost all the special forces that we have in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the then created UIN (Department for the Execution of Punishments - MZ), then went on business trips to the Caucasus, was the commander of the anti-sniper group.
In the Caucasus, I had to train GRU special forces units, which were also engaged in similar activities. We pulled them. When these business trips ended, I was invited to the training center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a senior teacher of special tactics for a special purpose cycle (the so-called special cycle). There they prepared all the units that went to the Caucasus on business trips - OMON, SOBR. Then there was a long period when I trained the units of the special forces police units (OMSN) of the North-Western region, then consulted, conducted classes with our SOBR.
It was a special cycle for the training of units departing to carry out counter-terrorism measures. In 2006, it was disbanded at the training center, considered unnecessary. Naturally, many teachers quit. I dealt with the same issues at the department of tactical training. Now, unfortunately, there are no such studies anywhere. Even at the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I had to advise the teaching staff at the department with special conditions of service, and they even had no idea how to behave in such situations. They didn’t even have methodological developments, no recommendations, they had to show them how to act in some specific situations. Slowly, they also began to cook. Methodological programs, of course, are all old. Our [programs] need to be dealt with closely, these are professional teaching aids. But, unfortunately, no one needs it.
I prepared almost all OMON units for actions to prevent and suppress mass disobedience, I trained many groups that were then engaged in suppressing illegal activities at mass events. These are the “March of Dissent”, and actions after football matches, especially when Spartak played with our Zenit. Often there were conflict situations that had to be stopped.
I had to film and then analyze [with employees] all these moments, talk about how to behave correctly, how to behave incorrectly. I was engaged in drawing up methodological recommendations on how to act in some extreme situations, how to act correctly in the conditions of a crowd, a hooligan crowd and one that is loyal, in order to prevent excesses. I myself had to train, conduct exercises, maneuvers.
Now I am engaged in training and advising employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on special issues, I am engaged in security structures, I train them. This is tactical, technical, shooting training. And we work with children - we prepare them, we conduct individual classes.
Bolotnaya. “The actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were absolutely wrong”
I was an expert on the “bolotnaya case”, I issued opinions, and thanks, I must say, to a lawyer, I believe that many of the defendants were released and given minimal punishments. Because there the police acted very provocatively, incorrectly in many ways, so there were moments that I had to cover.
The actions [of the police on Bolotnaya Square on May 6, 2012], which were later investigated in court, showed that there were practically no detained citizens who really opposed themselves to the riot police and committed provocative actions. But [peaceful demonstrators] were detained, beaten, imprisoned, and absolutely unlawfully. The actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were absolutely wrong, in violation of all the instructions that they were supposed to. This surprised me very, very much.
And the way our judiciary treats such studies, when the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs look in an unsightly light, then they simply do not take this evidence into account. You can't argue against them. There were so many situations when the detainees were accused of tearing off the helmet from the head of an employee, throwing it away, and for this they were detained. Well, a helmet cannot be torn off a person if he must be fastened according to the instructions. Since it flew off from him, it means that the employee behaved incorrectly, did not fasten it, it was not torn off him, but he waved his head, and it all flew away.
There is an instruction [that prescribes] how the equipment is worn, how the uniform is worn, how they should act. These are all internal instructions, but they exist. The fact that the helmet is lost does not mean that it is necessary to punish civilians who have nothing to do with it, who are placed in those conditions where they must either be crushed by the crowd or go forward, pushing the police aside, just to stay alive. This is the example where there were wrong actions on the part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were not even investigated by anyone, no analysis was carried out in order to avoid such things in the future.
Protest actions. "Nothing happens spontaneously"
Our commanders, as a rule, are accustomed to cheer, forward, disperse, "bomb" - instead of preventing everything and settling it down at the initial stage. In 2007-2008 [in St. Petersburg] there were “Marches of Dissenters”, which took place along Nevsky Prospekt, along Palace Square - quite large events, where large forces of the then police were involved and where many wrong orders of leaders had to be recorded. I had to record on a video camera, to prove that it was wrong when the commanders give the order to disperse the crowd, and there are two or three pensioners. And the crowd of riot police is running with batons at the ready to disperse the whole thing.
And the people are setting themselves up against themselves, it is clear that people are not professionals, they cannot even carry out a competent detention, not just a seizure, just the detention of a person who does not offer much resistance. Where you need to tell where to go, where to move, especially those events that usually end near the metro - [instead] they block the entrances, prevent people from walking, create a crowd, and then the whole thing is presented as a violation of public order and apply strict measures. Although all this was absolutely unnecessary, unfortunately.
There are many, many such situations. We took them apart, showed [employees] how to act correctly. But everything depends not on those employees who carry out, but on those who give orders. If you try not to comply, you will receive incomplete service compliance or dismissal. Sometimes there is a social order that, on the contrary, it is necessary to act very tough in order to show that employees here act more toughly, you can’t break the order. In fact, this is simply provoked.
Of course, there are groups that organize a protest, they prepare it on purpose and follow the same scenario in all regions of Russia. Of this I am more than sure. I can’t name which groups these are, but I know that there are people who work according to the same training manuals, just as football fans were trained in their time. In any region of the country, they acted absolutely according to the same laws. They trained according to the same programs, and at any time, on a common team, they could gather into one well-organized combat group, and they could do anything. Now this has “stopped” a bit, but political things have begun. These are well organized things. There are special provocateurs who act correctly, competently, the so-called "asset" at these events. "Active", "militants", "cover" and others who provoke, and then quickly leave from there. The crowd gets swept up. Of the stocks that I evaluated, this is Bolotnaya Square. There were also provocateurs, from different sides. They are also divided into different groups: student, warrior, pensioner. Different groups provoke: some - young people, the second - the military, the third - those who are retired, the fourth - visitors. For each organizer. There aren't many of them. They are very highly paid here in Russia, but they exist, they travel to all regions, they know how to do it very well, they are well paid for it.
Football is a big territory, a lot of people, and they all go out into the open. There is an opportunity to splash out your emotions not only on the fans, but also on passers-by who accidentally fall into it. Thank God, we do not yet have a command for these fans and fans (they are all well organized too) to smash and destroy, set fire to cars, turn them over, as in the very same England. This is also all done on command, and not just like that. Nothing happens spontaneously. [During riots at protests, there are usually] more crowds that join. Always, if a well-organized provocateur will shout out or give out organizational moments and say what and how to do, then the crowd very easily adjoins him.
Of all the actions at the moment, there are still more well-organized protest actions. They are not as frequent and I think they will not be as frequent, but they will and will be better and better organized. Let's say, like at Navalny's on the Field of Mars or somewhere else, when a whole group of schoolchildren, young people are rushing in and, as they say, everything closes on them. For those who do not want to protest, but who are warmed up for it. These are the things I fear, perhaps, because they will become more and more organized, because this is not only a protest, it is also a test of the actions of employees, how they will act at a certain moment. Knowing all the weaknesses [of the employees], they can make such an event that will show that the police cannot do anything with us. This can be of very bad service. And all this comes from training, and not [ordinary police officers], who perform tasks in the main, but those who are in command. They are not prepared according to our programs.
There are, of course, [and spontaneous protests] - these are housing and communal services or, for example, like on Veterans Avenue in St. Petersburg, when they tried to erect a monument to Viktor Tsoi in the park and immediately a rather close-knit team was organized there, which did not allow this to be done . There were not opponents of the monument, but opponents of what could have been after its installation - how many Tsoi fans would have come here, how they would have ruined the entire infrastructure. As in many places where there are mentions of him, everything is written there, a mess. And so quiet area, everything is fine. These are the actions, I think, will also be. Then - developers, equity holders, who at first simply protest, then they can [attack] equipment that is trying to build something there on the territory that was incorrectly leased or for construction. I cannot say how common such spontaneous gatherings are. Didn't track it.
Police at rallies. "Hit on the head, and that's wrong"
[Instructions for police officers on working at mass rallies] are, but, unfortunately, they do not describe the tactics of action, but describe general rules. What groups should be, which group is responsible for what: a blocking group, a documentation group, something else - there are hundreds of these groups. But how to act in a particular situation, this is not written anywhere, they are not taught this. Everywhere [in the first place] there is a forceful option of counteraction instead of what can be done competently, culturally and very beautifully. We were taught before the 1980 Olympics, we had a group - the Olympic Special Forces - it consisted of only 20 people. But these 20 people could perform tasks against 300 enemy people without the use of physical force, competently, clearly, that was the level of preparedness. We still have SOBR and everyone remembers this group, it was the best in the country. We then had only five groups in the Soviet Union before the Olympics - and then there was preparation. Then the whole thing was stopped, they were classified as “secret”, many were fired so that they would not interfere, because they knew too much. Unfortunately, everything came to what we have. It's a pity!
[Sometimes] I am invited by individual departments to conduct classes before some possible events. We discuss how to operate as part of divisions, how to operate as part of a small group. How to properly prevent the actions of a possible bully, how to detain him. For example, a pensioner who does not need to be touched, you can convince him, tell him where to go. How to act with children, adolescents in these situations. Because with us, unfortunately, the police can only do one thing: take a stick and hit on the head - and that is wrong.
[The police officer must not] beat, shout, threaten. When we are detained (even on the videos that are on the Internet and it’s just sickening), as a rule, there is a continuous cursing all around. Well, what is it? If the police officers themselves violate public order, then any citizen has the right to resist, because according to the law, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has no right to violate, and if he violates, then he is not an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe dressed in uniform, so he needs to answer? And any citizen has the right to use any means of protection from this "criminal" dressed in the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is if you follow the law. And we have every word, then mat. What it is?!
I had to deal with many employees. If the commanders understood that they would have to command units, they contacted me - this was a private initiative of specific commanders. Moreover, when the same OMON commanders found out that the battalion commander had asked for a lesson, he was punished for it. They told him: “What kind of nonsense is this, that you are engaged in a private initiative?” It's always like that. After they were transferred to the guards, the OMON commanders were generally told that there should be no independent training, only that provided by the internal troops. It turns everything upside down. They force people to carry out a specific task - to shoot, beat, beat, and operational training has been reduced to almost zero. Only power, shooting, combat - and it is used only when you can’t act differently, you can’t convince, then, as a rule, you hit.
Almost all employees of power units are now studying combat training, which is aimed at injuring the enemy, and not at fixing him or competently detaining him without injury. What do we have everywhere now? Boxing, kickboxing and other nonsense that will not bring anything good in real life. But there are no competent detentions, there are no fighting techniques that were previously studied without fail. Previously, in the 1980s, practically any police officer had to have a rank in sambo. Now, unfortunately, everywhere there are only bags, pears, sticks, shields - we beat, we beat, we disperse, but this is wrong. This is not an indicator of professionalism, it is an indicator of stupidity. This is my personal opinion.
I see only worsening [of the police training situation]. They beat them more and act incorrectly, because they begin to train them worse and worse in training units. Both the initial training and the academic training with which universities graduate has become much worse, and much worse. Plus, the equipment that is starting to arrive is good, of course, when various protective equipment is strengthened, but it is all power. And since such equipment exists, it should be used. So they will beat. Previously, there were police officers in raincoats and caps, but now they are in bulletproof vests and protective helmets. Of course they will apply it.
The commanders, who will have to carry out the task assigned to them by their superiors, are well aware that it is better to do everything without excesses than to write off [explanations] for illegal actions later, to go to courts. They understand this, low commanders, but they are forced to do so by the top. Even provocatively, the police are often forced to act, and they are forced to do so.
“You can’t act in a crowd in such a brazen way”
The event itself is tracked first. People should know how it is organized, what is the specific goal. To do this, there must be people, agents among those who plan to hold such mass events. Then calculate what damage and losses can be if there are any hooliganism due to these actions. This is the phase of prevention, not suppression, but prevention of the rally itself, if it is unauthorized, or harmful, or dangerous.
Then you can create situations without problems when people simply cannot gather for this event: these can be transport problems, you can pretend that filming, repairs or some kind of explosive devices are taking place at the place of this event - yes, anything , you can do to prevent people from going there. Then measures are taken to control those very agitators, provocateurs - they are taken into account, and they can be removed from there under some pretext, withdrawn, and then the agitation will go in a completely different way. There are many options that contribute to this.
If the procession itself begins, which cannot be stopped, it can be completed before arriving at the end point. Do not oppose the crowd, do not stand against it, as the riot police put up with us, and a group crashes into a group. No, work begins in the crowd - behind, slowly, some hooligans were removed, others. Before, why did a lot of people work in civilian clothes, specialists in all these things? They calmly acted, calculated, chose. And there were fewer such mass unrest.
Now everything is practically in shape. There are, of course, employees who are in civilian uniform, but they do more operational work. They should identify the right people and should give people in the form the task of fixing, detaining, or [the task] in some other way to attract them. But it again comes down to information that is not always correct. It may be correct if they have found an agitator, but the power phase is carried out incorrectly, because it happens with us that three or four riot police enter the crowd, someone is dragged, absolutely not caring that they might be cut, and stick something in them and they can blow them up. You can't act in a crowd in such a brazen way. You can get an answer. Sooner or later it will happen, and then they will again say that it is necessary to strengthen the police, raise salaries - and nowhere will it be said that education needs to be improved. None of our leaders have been punished for poor training of the people they lead.
There is no communication between the police and the crowd, or it takes place at the level of forceful contact: detain, grab, drag. This is a provocation, it is not known how it can turn over and who will be worse off, because any rally can turn into a pogrom.
We, unfortunately, always have a head-on confrontation between the police and the people who are moving there. But not at the initial phase, but when everything is already approaching the point of their supposed march. You can't act like that. Opposition can always develop into what it was in 1991: then not a single detachment, not a single police force fulfilled its task, they were all swept away. The crowd just moved forward, but what if it moves forward here? There will still be more crowds than police. You have to act differently.
What happens after the event, we rolled it out very well in the police: documenting, taking control, video recording, conducting interviews, photos of the criminal case. It's well established. Another thing is that there are many people who are not involved in any riots, they are taken for company.
During the action, there is a mess that comes from the leadership, when they think that these must be removed, these must be dispersed - this is bad. Instead of working for agitators and provocateurs and seizing them, they work for ordinary citizens. As a rule, they are provocateurs and organizers with good lawyers, as they say, they have a “big roof” behind them, they do not receive any punishment for what they do. It makes no sense to contact them, but with ordinary citizens - why not recruit pensioners, schoolchildren, students there? No one will stand up for them - it's easier.
When, they say, they almost put up a plan, that you should have 50-300 people from [a rally] of Navalny - you detain, so detain, knead everyone in a row, and then we'll figure it out. This procedure is set up well, where there is paperwork, our people master this thoroughly.
But in order not to bring to this paper work, unfortunately, other skills are needed. But they need to be taught, and any training ... I have this confidence: the more well-trained the employee, the more problems he has, because he knows a lot better than the management, which was put in place, maybe by pull. He executes commands in the right way, the right way, and not the way he was told. And this can harm the image of your commander. Why does he need it? Get rid of such people. They must clearly follow the order, they said go ahead, then go ahead. This is a big staffing issue.
"Non-violent assembly should not be dispersed"
[The threat of a mass action should be assessed] based on operational information, first, or political moments. For example, what could be the threat, for example, from actions with Navalny now. Young people will gather, who gather very easily, if alcoholic drinks are somehow brought there or there are provocateurs from among the youth, this can turn into pogroms. And if actions are held, let’s say, not of a political nature, but [in connection with issues of] housing and communal services, people will come there of a different plan, older ones, there will be a completely different conversation. And if the political is against some politician, official, as we had against Medvedev, Putin, there is a different crowd there can be anything, it can escalate. Here everything goes according to the situation: who gathers where, how many people will be and, of course, what territory. If this is a territory where there may be markets where guest workers work, or there may be hostels nearby where visitors live, this can turn into pogroms.
Any group that performs must only be in the territory in which it has been given permission to operate. This is a mandatory order. If the group begins to spread without any side effects - for example, it does not hooligan, does not prevent people from passing, does not block the road to transport, then such groups are simply escorted until they break up into small groups and disperse to their places. If some unauthorized event begins, this public violation of order must be strictly suppressed. And so they must go along the route where it is supposed to and the route cannot be blocked, because this is also a violation. And we often do just that.
Force should be used only in situations where there are really severe offenses - no more, no less, or when there is a 100% threat of escalating into mass disobedience. And that force should be very limited and very selective and correct. Now, at least in recent times, water cannons have not been used. I don't know for how long, but it's good practice. They only do harm. These are more provocative actions. They are absolutely not selective. These are actions directed against the entire crowd, and it does not matter who is there: children, old people, adults, bystanders or someone else. They are still used a little in exercises, but not in real events.
In no way should a head-on collision be allowed, but almost always it happens. This is just the worst tactic ever. A head-on collision always leads to bad things - the group that opposes the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has the opportunity to retreat back, but those who go in the crowd, they cannot retreat back, because they are pressed by those who go behind. It turns out a breakthrough. Ah, breakthrough, as they say. It is necessary to beat, grab, but people could not go back. They would have been crushed there. They need to find a place to get out. Instead of organizing a competent passage for them and partially skipping, skipping, skipping.
Among the employees, unfortunately, there is practically no debriefing. If someone used force, as a rule, an explanation is taken that is beneficial to the leadership, and not the way it really was, in order to then sharply unsubscribe from everything. And so it passed and passed, do not draw conclusions. We do not draw conclusions even after some tragic actions. This is also a dangerous thing, because after each arrest, after each action, a debriefing must be done. This is not done, because it takes time and it will not always be in your favor.
A non-violent assembly should not be dispersed. There must be a well-organized exit from this meeting of people, to organize the movement of transport so that people do not interfere with transport. Here you need to deal with the safety of people, and not disperse them in any way. On the contrary, any dispersal of a non-violent assembly minimizes the image of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When a sanctioned event [is held], it should always be held on a territory where there is no large passage of third-party citizens, there must be some kind of wider territory, a square, a square, where there are fewer citizens and highways - away from the roadway. All this must be taken into account. If it is not authorized, if people walk along the roads, Nevsky Prospekt is blocked, people must be removed from the road. If there is a violation of public order, it is necessary to act either by conviction or, with those who provoke it, more harshly and more competently. It is possible to carry out detention without any blows. You can do everything freely. There are technical ways, there are tactical options for how to act in a crowd. Two or three employees can easily disperse a crowd of 20-30 people, you just need to know how and with what, clubs and shields are not needed there. But this is a secret.
“Many police officers are afraid to communicate with citizens”
Good preparation is based on an understanding of what will [take place during] some kind of follow-up action by the civilian population, if it is a mass event. It is necessary that the employee perfectly understands what processes are taking place not only in the country, but also in the region where you work. Plus, there should be good technical training, the ability to use any connection, technology. There must be good physical preparation without fail, psychological preparation and operational, how to behave.
If you watch videos on the Internet, we have bad police everywhere, but because of what? But any policeman can freely make sure that he is not filmed. Not just to ban video filming, no, but you need to detain this person and file him as an accomplice of the one you detained, who distracted you from your official duties and endangered your life.
That's when everything will be properly arranged, but, unfortunately, even our employees cannot do this. Here, a traffic police officer has no right to stop any car and check documents without the right reason. It's just that they don't have the right to check documents. And when I told them how many times, well, you guys have the right, look how: “Comrade driver, spot check of documents, too many fakes.” All. And on this basis, brake any car.
But here, when [citizens] come up, they start digging, why did you park the car here at the crossroads? Because it's a business necessity. All. If you ask me, you provoke me, I detain you. All questions will disappear immediately. We now, unfortunately, do not teach employees, as they used to say that a police officer should be able to get to the bottom of any pole, but competently, correctly, and not just like that. But these questions have disappeared for us, we have only tactical questions, so we have a lot of policemen who are afraid to communicate with citizens.
And since they are afraid and do not know how, then they behave the same way at mass events. It's easier to hit the head with a club than to do something wrong. This is my opinion, which many do not support. I always say: I respect the police, I respect the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I hate untrained employees. They must be professionals. I am for good training, and not against the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
