The first All -Russian rally of commissars and supporters of the youth democratic movement “Our” was held in 2005. For almost half a month in the tent camp, more than three thousand young people from 45 cities of Russia lived. The guys lived in marching conditions, prepared food for themselves, swam in kayaks, studied rope courses for overcoming obstacles. We walked with a system with songs, which resembled a counselor in a pioneerlaire of the time of the so -called stagnation, and talked a lot about the fate of their native Fatherland. The daily routine for all converts in “ours” was extremely tough: up to six in the morning, a mandatory multi-kilometer march, despite the natural morning resistance of the body and its momentary state. Then all the military-sports events planned for the day with the aftertaste of zeideological. Moreover, obvious, because the so-called master classes have such famous PR specialists as Gleb Pavlovsky and Mikhail Leontyev. Although in fairness it should be noted that among teachers there were representatives of the country’s modern intellectual elite: from famous philosophers, political scientists, religious figures to government officials of the highest rank. The master classes were also conducted by teachers of the best universities and scientific schools of the country, who introduced the young party members to copyright in geopolitics, history, sociology, political psychology, rhetoric, journalism and PR activities. Local radio -rebeling came out here. There was also its own newspaper “Our Izvestia”, published by a circulation of forty thousand (!) copies. As usual in such organizations, elections were also held: Nizhny Novgorod Nikolai Italians became the commissar of Russian “our”.
I must say that such a harsh regime was invented only for the commissars, that is, the young functionaries of movement, who had already plunged into the taste of leadership with the head. But the Seliger -2005 project, which managed to realize with the blessing of the official Kremlin, also implied the presence of, in addition to the commissioners, also supporters of this new youth movement.
Such a large -scale project as a rally on Seliger was launched, as they say, from the highest command. It is enough to recall that the President of Russia visited the Seliger inhabitants. This was one of the last days of stay in the camp, when almost all the provincials left and only a few dozen proven young Muscovites were left in the camp. They were honored on behalf of all “ours” to ask questions to Vladimir Putin. It is clear that in organizations like the newly -minted “ours”, the scatter of opinion cannot be by definition. And therefore, the president was asked quite “smoothed” questions.
