Interview with the founder of the movement of Russian bikers, the leader of the motorcycle club "Night wolves".
Alexander, where did the show-show idea come from?She appeared in the 1994 Dalek, influenced by the motivations I saw in Europe. But then I realized that if something like that in Russia is done, it will be quite different. That's how it happened. We have long spat on the scale of many European bike shows. But that's not the point, it's the point. Russia is a mother, taking something from the West, rethinking it, giving it absolutely its own. And from Baik-the-show is the same-it's exclusive in everything. The West has strict standards and a clear framework. It's like McDonald's, you know where you're going, what's going to happen. And you don't know what you see on the bike show. Until the last moment, I don't even know that. Every time I look for inspiration. If it doesn't come, it won't be a show. It is very difficult to make a new program. And if she has to carry an idea, if she makes sense, it's arch-falsely. And each time you have to take a new, taller bar.I'm like an athlete who needs to break another record, because people expect you to do that. Most of the time, the idea comes at the last minute. This time, on March 27, there was an event in which I saw the final of the program in Sevastopol. Then, at the stadium in Belgrade, during the match between the football teams of Serbia and Russia, fans weighed the banners on the whole platform, whose words rocked me: " Big Brother! Bow to the mother of ours and tell her that we are worthy that we are fighting. And tell her we love her. " I knew then what the Bayk show would be about. The Prime Minister and the leader of the motorcycle club. What's your connection?We have a strange relationship that sometimes arises between people from different worlds. Mutual acceptance, respect, something even friendly. I appreciate it. He can see that there are few people in his place. And even this time, he's indirectly obstructive.He was then at the stadium in Belgrade, and his face was addressed to Russia by football fans of Serbia. By the way, he was watching this match with the Night Wolves of Serbia and Macedonia. Thanks to that, I saw that match, and I came up with a thought that I later realized. I dedicated this to the Bayk show, including to these people, to whom we are to blame, whom we have thrown into a difficult moment for them. And who give us an example of the brotherly love that we are talking about in the Gospel. You mean Serbia?Yes. There's no more loving people anywhere. I'm ashamed of them. And I saw the face of the Premier when those words appeared over the podium, and the whole stadium "Katiousha." And it was young people, football fans! I remember how many people we met in Belgrade when we came. I remember meeting us. One example: the mayor of the city of Nisha answered a question about the population of the city: "We are with the Russians of 150 million." Things like that don't forget, you know?And it is these sensations that I wanted to bring to Ukraine. " Look, this year the resorts are empty, Ukraine and Belarus are in crisis. But there's a Bayk show. Despite all, people came, they voted for! " Moscow, Peter, Kaliningrad, now Sevastopol. What is the geography of the Bayk show?As the saying goes, the stars are formed, the map is gone. I went to the place where it was. I've got Serbia in my head right now. Only when I don't know, there's too many complications. It is a pity to leave Sevastopol. Is there any difficulty with the Ukrainian authorities? How do they look at you and the Bayk show?With respect, but with respect. In general, even with sympathy. Maybe they have some of their own greed, I don't know. " All previous years, the Ukrainian press was silent, and this year-already has six publications, all complementary and even with the analysis of the programs of the last three years. But the simple emotions of ordinary people are much moreFor Sevastopol, it is impossible to pass another time, all your names are invited, they thank you for the Bayk show. People here understand that we are one space, one story, one of the roots, one people. And splitting us up is ... it's a crime! I don't believe in multicultural. People know and understand where they're going. And he's yelling that "motorcycle-show shit," usually someone who wasn't here. What's a Bayk show for you in person? Is this a festival? Commercial project? Social or political action? The press and the Internet have different opinions ...And let them be! In 2009, after Baik show, there was a lot of nonsense, especially on all the websites. And that we in the Crimea, we take drugs (obviously we were confused with someone else), and the Ess were helpless, and that I was recruited by the KGB, and all that. But seriously, I'm asking you not to call the things I do, politics! Please don't put those labels on me. Politics and love for the motherland are different things. I do what I feel, what I care about and what I want. A politician can hardly afford it. Do you understand? I'm doing it from my heart, from the heart, and I think the least of that at this moment about commerce. What is his painting for the artist? It's a Bayk show for me. (At this point, a photographer from Mariupola, who has become a victim of his own, asks for help. The surgeon promised to help, and he said, "How do you like the Bayak Show?" And in return, " It's a dream! It's the best memory of ten years! I cried like a kid when I got here! " Then turn to me ...) Did you hear that? He answered your question! That gives me a desire and strength to do it. What's a club for you?It's a fraternity, it's a family. These are the people I respect, I love the people with whom I have been bound for years. It's my baby. I've heard that saying, "There can't be a hundred peasants to be friends with each other."Of course. But every ten people you think are brothers is ten more, whom they consider brothers. There's some kind of progression that makes up a fraternity. It's kind of a drag. As soon as we get somewhere, people start coming in here.What do you mean by the image?Yes. Lifestways, thinking. Like pilots, call sign "foreign", only intuitive. Of course, there's a drink everywhere. Every big case, like a ship, has some sleepover, vermin. But I'm talking about the general trend. But there are people who are trying their worthless life to cover up a vest with a known crest, get the Paphos at the expense of the people who made the name of the club. No doubt. But these people are cut off, it's natural selection. To that end, there is a degree of growth in the club-they all pass the test of time. As a result, there are real people. " We were first, we showed the road. Show me your way. We make you think about what a man does, his choice. " The club's official name has always sounded like Night Wolves MG. Today I saw "colors" with the inscription "Night Wolves" in Russian. What does that have to do with anything?Yes, we decided to switch to Cyrillic as more reflective of the club. We are Slavs, we are Russians, we have our own culture and our language. The club was born back in Soviet times, MG was a social protest. Times have changed. Therefore, the whole club, including the branches in other countries, is switching to Russian-language stripes. AND MG? The club changed the format?Of course. We position ourselves as "MC"-a motorcycle club. And MG on the back decided to keep it as a memory of the old days. You stood at the origins of the biker movement in Russia, saw its development. How do you see his future?We were first, we showed the road. Show me your way. And it doesn't matter if the man in the "NV" or his club is looking at us, he's looking at us. We make you think about what a man does, his choice. That is, something like a reference that repelled, goes to him or from him, but always with an eye on you?Yeah, that's it. Anyway, we're an example. Orthodoxy, the faith promoted by the club is part of the charter, club policy?. Cootopi, come on! You tortured me with that word! There's no politics here! How do you get a man to believe if he's not ready? I do what I feel. I can't believe in God. You have to be a total blind man, not to believe it! Russians have Orthodoxy already at the genetic level, more than 1,000 years old. But this is a commitment for a club member?I don't. But we're not going to have a man who doesn't think so. It's clear that we're not going to take the satanist. What about a Muslim or a Protestant?And here I look back to the Orthodox Church. What the church does not accept is neither acceptable nor acceptable to us. You mean "The Night Wolves" is an orthodox club?Yes, of course. Now there are a lot of motor clubs in Russia ...Yes, under every fence ...How do you feel about that?It's a coarse. I remember, in the ' 90s, the club was one Night Wolves. Yes. But at some point, we realized that if we were running around with a shovel and beating their asses, we'd only do it, and we couldn't do anything, and then we'd sit down. That's why I let it go. There's "NV," and there's everything else. Let everyone decide for themselves. It's been a long time since the ' 90s. What happened, you remember. Then you couldn't have been different. There was no understanding, no culture, the laws of the street were above the state. And we lived under the same laws, holding everything in the fist. It all changed, people grew up. And now we can't achieve anything that is prohibitive, just by our own example, by doing something of our own. Was it not the idea to create, say, an association of MS clubs in order to maintain order in a motoring society?I don't want to do this. Not interested. It reminds me of some Komsomol activity. We're doing our job, seeing a mission in it. And this mouse is a mouse and a cockroach in the type of association or the meringue of which I don't care about. I see the NV as a phenomenon, on a different scale, in other dimensions. What is the relationship between the Night Wolves and some known motor clubs?We just don't want our Russian motorcycle to bloody serve. These "famous motor clubs" won't bring us any good. They're just going to be a jerk. We don't have any animosity towards Russian clubs. " When you can't do anything, you need to get in. It's not about the plating, it's about what they're carrying. " I remember, not so long ago, everybody was having a good conversation, coming to visit ...Yeah, in the '80s and' 90s was a case. But at a certain point, it comes to knowing who and what they are. You can't sit on two chairs, you can't serve both God and Satan at the same time. We have to make a choice. The first caller was from my mother: I didn' t want to clean up in my room until I got the hell off the wall. But I also had a barrier inside me that could not be overstepped. You're so jacked up, so they jump around. It's a "alien" system. God gave me some things I didn' t give to others. I don't give a damn about the damn thing. A priest once said to me, " Surgeon! If you drag this stuff over here, you'll never get off! " Now they're losing us to the cleanse. But there are no attempts to send the recruiters here to look patiently for potential traitors and degenerate degeneris and swathes, unscrupulous people with the philosophy of the ordinary "Barygu-taugh" of the '80s, ready to change their grandfathers' blood to gum or jeans. Look at the Muslims-don't let God insult their religion, what unites them. We have, unfortunately, a possibility. A man in a vest with an image of a line tells him he's a Christian. There's a cross to the cross. You can't imagine more absurdus. And we tolerate, we don't even notice tolerant even in the church, you see, steel. So soon we will catch up to gay pride parades under the banner "for the improvement of the demography and gene pool of Russia!" Or for example, you are carrying guns, "1%" and "Autlos" ("Out of the law"), then "aulos"-do things consistent with their name. And if you work as a clerk in a white shirt for a salary, you live in a family, you drive a vegetable garden, you're not an outlaw, you're a clown. I could still respect a man who at least matches what I signed up for. It's just parsley. Okay, so maybe it's just a tradition left over from the time that bikers in America were having an audience? The washers, the pentagrams ...So let them keep these traditions in America. We have our traditions here, and we don't need those fairy tales. It's an excuse for a 14-year-old girl to emulate a mother, but not a grown man. It's funny to hear excuses that "it doesn't mean anything!" You don't have to excuse me, it's even if they make excuses to God. You can do anything you want. But there are facts and actions. "It's better to be the first in hell than the last in heaven." What a Christian you are if you join an organization that is even officially satanic!The first time I ever heard of it ...And yet this is official information, open. About forming in America as a religion. I'm familiar with people and from there, and from there, normal, sane people. Then ask them why they need it, and what do they want? Material compensation? Pronunciation? Are you going to make yourself loved through a world club? I want to be cool! When you can't do anything, you need to get in. That's where the Pingwood heresy is brought here. It's not even about the stripes, it's about what they're carrying. I'm not tolerant. I hate that word. It smells unscrupulous and weak. People, don't be tolerant! Choose your path. He's in Russia alone.
