Criminal nationality - the problem of Russia and Germany

The Madness of Herbert Royle

But migration is migration, and prayer is on schedule. Nobody canceled national customs. Christmas sabantuychik in Cologne on the eve of 2016 was a success - hundreds of rape attempts, robberies, pogroms. Not with political slogans, as in France, but just like that, valiant prowess, to show the Maghreb power to the well-fed burghers. And Cologne is just the largest city in North Rhine - Westphalia.

Then, three and a half years ago, the local media for almost a week tried not to report the riots - this is not politically correct, and what if someone asks about the nationality of the criminals, but it is impossible to answer, because crime, according to German law, has no nationality

And only now the North Rhine police have finally responded (it seems that guest workers also serve there, moreover, of Estonian origin). The local minister of internal affairs obliged his press office to always indicate the nationality of the criminals, "if it is clearly established." Remember the name of this man - Herbert Royle. Because, besides you, there will be no one to remember him: in modern Western society, such initiatives most often lead to an early end of a career. Although, of course, times are gradually changing due to the efforts of the gay Arab youth. Slowly and lazily, Europeans are still moving from organizing protection committees to taking more action.

And what about Russia?

President Vladimir Putin, Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, Head of the Moscow City Duma Vladimir Platonov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Khloponin, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation Vladimir Pligin directly spoke about the need to ban the indication of the nationality of criminals in the media; the bill banning mentioning the nationality of terrorists was introduced by Chechen parliamentarians (strange that they are not from Vologda). The informal ban is indeed in effect, and if they want to get around it, the media do their best: they write the suspect's first and last name (sometimes with a patronymic), indicate his place of birth, and try to get a characteristic photograph.

Meanwhile, the effective ban on indicating the nationality of the suspect, accused and convicted in Russia was never adopted. There is only a vague wording in the Law on Mass Media prohibiting the use of the right of a journalist to disseminate information "in order to discredit a citizen or certain categories of citizens, including on the basis of race, nationality, language, attitude to religion." Similarly, in the recommendations of Roskomnadzor: “information that incites social, racial, national or religious hatred” is prohibited. Question: Does the mention of the well-known fact that the special forces soldier Nikita Belyankin were killed in Krasnogorsk by representatives of the titular nation of Armenia is aimed at discrediting the Armenian people? I think not: if anyone tried to discredit him, it was the killers themselves.

Moreover, some nationalities in our country are clearly more equal than others: when there are clashes between Russians and Gypsies, all the media calmly name nationalities, and no sanctions follow for this. Does this mean that the observance of the law is conditioned by the thickness of the lobby of this or that national minority in the corridors of power?

Literal adherence to the principle of “not mentioning the nationality” of suspects, accused and convicted persons sometimes leads to absurdities. We had such respected entrepreneurs of Dagestan origin, Ziyavudin and Magomed Magomedov. The Summa group of companies, active activity in the transport sector, strong ties with Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich … At what point did we lose the right to name their nationality - during arrest? arrest? an indictment that may well still fall apart?

In our opinion, the current interpretation of the provisions of the law only harms the security of Russia, because the current informal rules actually protect national criminal groups from public condemnation

After all, crime not only has a nationality, it is quite often based on this nationality itself. And we are not talking about situations when the norm of one people turns out to be a crime for another (drinking alcohol in the Arabian Peninsula or dragging lightly dressed girls into bushes in the Russian part of Russia). The unity of upbringing, culture, characteristic features of appearance and, most importantly, language makes ethnic criminal groups absolutely natural, arising almost automatically where there is a mixture of different ethnic groups and there is crime. If in a mono-ethnic society criminal elements have to invent "argo", "fenya" for conspiracy, then having their own language, sharply different from the title, becomes, unfortunately, an excellent help for criminals.

There really is a problem, and if it is hushed up, it will gradually swell and, as a result, explode so that it will not seem a little to anyone. In this regard, "Russian Planet" sent a request to Roskomnadzor with a request to clarify the rules for mentioning the nationality of bad people. And, of course, we will follow the Westphalian experiment very closely.
