  • ⚜ There is a law where the judge is familiar
  • ⚜ Don't be afraid of the law - be afraid of the judge
  • ⚜ Don’t fight the strong, don’t sue the rich
  • ⚜ The law is that: a bumblebee will slip through, but a fly will get stuck

Lifestyle wisdom that has entered into Russian everyday life since ancient times.

The peasants who tried to sue the landowners very soon realized that the judges were using them in a way that was beneficial to the rich.

It is not for nothing that the following proverb was widespread among the peasantry: “Where there is law, there is resentment.”

Drawbar - a shaft, a long horizontal pole attached to the front axle of the cart. A couple of horses are tied to it, which, turning the drawbar, turns the entire cart.

This version of the proverb says the same thing: “whatever the horse wants, you turn it there.”

- The worker is always to blame, but the owner is right...
- Well, the ministers are not responsible for this...
- Then who? After all, they write the laws in such a way that they can be turned in any way. This, brother, is the whole rub: the law is that whatever the drawbar is, wherever you turn it, that’s where it comes out. They are written not for our benefit, but for the master’s.

Budget-financed TV channels State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Khakassia", Republican Television Network (RTS), "Abakan 24", "NotaBene. Main News of the South of Siberia" and other media are conducting veiled campaigning against the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the elections of the head of the region, Valentin Konovalov. Local officials also joined anti-communist actions in the republic. Deputy Minister of National and Territorial Policy of Khakassia Natalya Salata organized an internal conference with Khakassian politicians and activists who called for voting against the communist candidate.

You ask - what's wrong here? But that's not the case here. Since Valentin Konovalov is currently the only politician who will be represented on the ballot, the situation is not developing in the most beautiful and, most importantly, illegal way.

The fact is that Federal Law “On the basic guarantees of electoral rights and the right to participate in a referendum of citizens of the Russian Federation” expressly prohibits conducting an election campaign against any candidate not from the funds of the election fund of another candidate.

Since there will be only one candidate in the elections, there is no opponent’s election fund from which to pay for campaigning against Konovalov.


Election campaigning carried out during the election campaign includes, among other things:

C) A description of the possible consequences if a particular candidate is elected or not elected;

D) Dissemination of information in which information about any candidate clearly predominates in combination with negative comments;

E) Activities that contribute to the creation of a negative attitude of voters towards the candidate.



The scientific and practical commentary to Federal Law No. 67 “On Basic Guarantees...” also explains that citizens who are not candidates and do not speak on behalf of candidates in the manner prescribed by law have the right to conduct election campaigning in such forms and by such methods as which do not require financial costs: they can organize public campaign events and participate in them, carry out oral campaigning, and campaign in other ways.

With the consent of the candidate, citizens have the opportunity to conduct election campaigning within the framework of the airtime and print space provided to the candidate, as well as create and distribute printed, audiovisual and other campaign materials, provided that the corresponding financial costs are made exclusively from the election fund.

Organizations that produce mass media, in the event that they disclose (publish) campaigning and information materials (including those containing reliable information) that could damage the honor, dignity or business reputation of a candidate, are obliged to provide the relevant candidate with the opportunity to publish free of charge before the end of the campaign period (publish) a refutation or other explanation in defense of one’s honor, dignity or business reputation.

However, apparently, for the local press, which receives financial support from budget money, the law is like a drawbar: wherever you turn, it goes there.


Red landing in Khakassia. State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were sent to help Konovalov

Parliamentarians expect provocations from local authorities during elections October 16, 2018


Manipulation of public opinion

In the period from October 16 to 19, the republican TV channels of Khakassia aired a number of stories that formed a negative image of the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Valentin Konovalov.

It all started on October 16 with news releases on the RTS and Abakan 24 channels, in which the League of Khakass Women Altynai opposed the young and green 30-year-old candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the election of the head of the republic.

On the air of the Khakassia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company there also appeared a story about the local election commission setting the date of the elections, where the Khakass interviewed and included in the news release either spoke out sharply against the young candidate or against the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as such. They also mentioned those same Khakass women who are afraid that Konovalov will return the republic to the nineties. Through the mouth of the correspondent, the voter is instilled with the idea of ​​what if the elections take place. this will work against everyone. However, already on October 23 the video was deleted from the official channel of State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Khakassia" on YouTube.



The next day, October 17, VTsIOM released a survey that actually formed public opinion, and, according to the results, “the majority (62%) of residents of the Republic of Khakassia consider gubernatorial elections in which only one candidate participates unacceptable.”

State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Khakassia" (on October 23 the video was also deleted), RTS and “NotaBene. Main news of the South of Siberia" (video was deleted) picked up this survey and covered it in their news, accompanied by comments from people on the street. Everyone who was included in the final layout of the issues clearly expressed the position that elections with one candidate are not elections, but a mockery. They say there should be at least two candidates so that people have someone to choose from.

The fact that everyone who could participate in the second round elections, one after another, withdrew their candidacies, except for Konovalov, is preferred not to be recalled on television, and the voter has already partially forgotten.



On the same day, the RTS television channel reported that the youth leaders of Khakassia also spoke out against Konovalov, who at a special press conference called on the candidate to withdraw from the elections. Among the so-called youth leaders are the acting head of the Khakassian branch of the Union of Volunteers of Russia Nikita Malchikov, the head of the republican branch of the pro-government organization “Volunteers of Victory” Anzhelika Makarenko and the head of the Khakassian youth public organization “Askhir”, affiliated with the local government, Ayla Tyundesheva.

It is noteworthy that the Union of Volunteers of Russia at the federal level is headed by people from the Young Guard of United Russia (MGER) - now the chairman of the Youth Chamber at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia Elena Erakina and former member of the coordination council of MGER Sergei Bondarenko.



On October 18, local athletes also campaigned to vote against the young and supposedly inexperienced Konovalov on the air of the news broadcasts of RTS, “Abakan 24” (the video was deleted still on October 23), “NotaBene. The main news of the South of Siberia" (and this video was deleted October 23). All three episodes showed the same faces, filmed at the same time in the gym - the Honored Master of Sports, the boxing coach of the Olympic Reserve School of Martial Arts, the Honored Kickboxing Trainer of Russia and the World Kickboxing Champion.

The very next day, October 19, representatives of national diasporas and religious organizations also called on communist Konovalov to withdraw. The corresponding stories were aired on the RTS and " Abakan 24"(the video from this channel was also deleted on October 23). The message is still the same: elections without choice, Konovalov - get out!



Also on October 19, on the air of the local TV channel “NotaBene. Main News of the South of Siberia” showed a news release that pitted voters against candidate Konovalov. By an amusing coincidence, the issue used a commentary by political strategist Andrei Kolyadin, which he gave to our publication. However, the phrase was taken out of context and presented from a convenient angle for the TV channel.




Heavy artillery

The apogee of what was happening was a meeting of public and political activists in the building of the Khakass branch of the ONF on October 22. As it later turned out, the meeting was organized through the mediation of the Deputy Minister of National and Territorial Policy of Khakassia Natalya Salata.

Viktor Lebedev, who previously worked as a correspondent for the local government newspaper “Khakassia” and ex-deputy of the Supreme Council of the Republic from United Russia, together with representatives of other public organizations that had previously appeared in the above-mentioned television news broadcasts, called on citizens to sabotage the second round of elections for the head of Khakassia.

In this case, social activists see the only possible scenario for the development of events in the failure of the communist Konovalov, the calling of new elections and the nomination of the acting head of the republic, Mikhail Razvozhaev.


“People who go to the polls will have to take the following steps, Lebedev explained to the activists. - They must come to the polls and vote against the uncontested candidate. At the exit from the polling stations, a mass public poll will be launched, in which people will be presented with a ballot paper in which they can choose the very people's candidate whom they will support in a competitive election.”



This incident with United Russia members and social activists, and even within the walls of a branch of the All-Russian Popular Front, required the intervention of the leaders of the Khakass ONF themselves. In a conversation with local journalists, they disowned all statements and initiatives proposed at the meeting.


“When they came from the Ministry of National Policy and said that they would have an event, they explained to us that there would be a meeting between Deputy Minister Salata and social activists. Therefore, we did not consider it necessary to remove our symbols... We were not warned what type of event it would be, and they did not coordinate it with us. We have nothing to do with this event and the campaigning at it. Otherwise, we would have removed all our symbols from the conference room. I would say we were misled", - Svetlana Gerasimenko, media relations coordinator of the ONF branch in the republic, commented to the 19rus.info portal.


There is one more interesting detail. On October 11, the latest issue of the government newspaper “Khakassia” was published. It was released not in the usual circulation of 2.5 to 20 thousand, but increased to 170 thousand copies. Almost the entire issue is dedicated to the candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Valentin Konovalov, who is presented in the newspaper in, to put it mildly, an unsightly light. It’s enough just to give an example of a couple of headings to understand everything: “Konovalov’s headquarters is in agony”, “Zimin’s puppet meanly abandoned him”, “Maybe I can handle it, maybe not, but how lucky you are.”



And the final chord: today, October 23, Konovalov, being the only candidate for the post of head of the Republic of Khakassia, came to debate with himself. The standard scenario in this case should look like this: the presenter asks questions, the candidate answers them.



However, this time a woman who has nothing to do with the elections was put up against the communist in the election debate - a certain Elena Dukhmina, who heads the public organization “Kind Heart of Khakassia”. A woman who, by the way, attended the press conference at the ONF headquarters on October 22 as one of the speakers.

For all these incidents, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation sent seven complaints to the prosecutor's office, Roskomnadzor and filed a complaint with the Khakass Election Commission.

The working group of the election commission has already considered the complaints of the communists during the meeting today, but no violations of the law were noticed. The position of the media representatives present - RTS, Abakan 24, State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Khakassia and Nota Bene - was that they did not campaign against Konovalov, but only informed citizens. The Communist Party also submitted its complaints to the Central Election Commission.

Essay "History of Law"

At that moment, when an idea was born in the head of one of the ancient people about what he has the right to do according to his conscience, what he does not have the right to do, and how others have and do not have the right to do with him, the history of law was born.

One of the first sets of laws on Earth, the approach to the compilation of which was serious and deep, (of course, known to modern civilization) were the laws of Hammurabi, the Babylonian king, ruler of Mesopotamia in 1793 - 1750 BC. e. These laws, which separately considered the spheres of family, criminal, private law, property rights and legal proceedings, are called the legislative pinnacle of the then civilization. But they were far from the first in history! The actual history of law goes back so deeply that one can only theorize about its beginnings.

Modern law grew out of traditional law and is divided into several historically established groups, more precisely, legal families: Anglo-Saxon, religious, Romano-Germanic and others. Romano-Germanic, for example, is based on the norms of ancient, Roman law.

Changes in legal norms have always resulted from dissatisfaction with them among certain segments of the population. “The law is like a drawbar, where you turn, that’s where it goes.” The norms of law legally adopted in society have always had a global influence on morality in society, the consciousness of people and their perception of what is good and what is bad.

Thus, European criminal law is now distinguished by very lenient punishments. In modern Russia, the status of being unemployed (not unemployed), as well as homosexual behavior, is not criminally punishable. However, the generation of our grandfathers and grandmothers knew for sure that anyone caught in homosexual relations is sent to work for the good of the country in not so distant places for five years. Today, a citizen who is not officially employed anywhere or is generally unemployed as a “householder” or “housewife” is a completely normal phenomenon, not condemned by anyone. Despite different opinions, society has changed its attitude towards homosexuality - from “punish!”, “condemn!”, “forced treatment!” to, if not tolerant 9 which, alas, is very far), then to a more indifferent, conciliatory one.

An excellent source for understanding the rules of law in different societies, in different periods of its development, is the modern publication “Journal of the History of European Law”.

The law that the drawbar turned and the essay came out

Novokuznechanin is able affect killed his father.

The Kuibyshevsky District Court of Novokuznetsk handed down a verdict in the criminal case of the murder of a father by his son.

During the preliminary investigation, investigators established that at the beginning of 2014, Maxim Gorlov went to Bureyskaya, 33, where his father was, to pick up his car keys. The accused's mother asked him to do this. The victim drank a lot and often drove a car while intoxicated. Arriving at the dacha, the defendant saw a relative sitting in the interior of a foreign car and asked him to get out, to which he refused. A conflict arose between a drunken father and son, during which Gorlov Sr. began to insult and humiliate his child, including obscene language, and even raised his hand to him. The guy could not tolerate such behavior. He hit his father several times with his fists, then with a bat. After which he pulled the unconscious man out of the salon, dragged him to the coal pit, where he stabbed him with a knife. The body was covered with snow, the foreign car with traces of blood was taken to a dry cleaner, where the stains were removed.

Returning home, Maxim Gorlov did not tell anyone about what had happened. The fact that the victim did not get in touch for a long time did not surprise his wife. Lately my husband hasn’t worked anywhere and often goes on binges. The disappearance report was filed with the police only at the end of January. Law enforcement officers considered various versions. The law enforcement officers also addressed the defendant with questions. When the accused could no longer hide the truth, he wrote a confession and showed where he hid his father’s body. As part of the investigation, Maxim Gorlov underwent a psychological and psychiatric examination, which found him sane and showed that at the time of the crime he was aware of what was happening.

The criminal case was sent to court in April 2014. At the hearing, the guy also did not deny his guilt, however, when testifying, he clarified that he did not remember at all how he killed his father. At the request of Gorlov’s defense lawyer, he was assigned an additional comprehensive psychological and psychiatric examination. The stationary examination was carried out by specialists from the Institute named after. Serbsky and in February 2016 they came to the conclusion that Gorlov does not suffer from mental disorders, but committed the crime in a state of passion. The defendant is characterized as a calm, non-conflict, balanced person. While it was known about the victim that when drunk, he became aggressive and terrorized his family, often raising his hand against its members. The conflict with his father that occurred on the eve of leaving for the dacha, as well as the quarrel on January 11, 2014, became the “last straw” for Maxim Gorlov.

Based on the conclusion of the capital's experts, the prosecutor's office reclassified the charge from the article "Murder" to the article "Murder committed in a state of passion", which is a crime of minor severity. The Kuibyshevsky District Court of Novokuznetsk found Maxim Gorlov guilty and sentenced him to 1 year and 6 months of restriction of freedom. However, the punishment was immediately canceled due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which, according to Article 107 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, is 2 years.

How the proverb about “the law and the pole” turned out to be illegal

The Supreme Court of Karelia recognized two Russian folk proverbs in the newspaper “Severnye Berega” as discrediting the honor and dignity of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now the newspaper must refute the well-known proverbs about “the law and the pole” and “legalistic adversaries.” The editors told Medialeaks that they do not yet know how to refute these allegations, but we tried to help our colleagues.

In July 2015, the newspaper “Northern Banks” in the village of Kalevala published an article about a juvenile affairs inspector who talked in a car with a 10-year-old boy without parental consent. Assessing the situation, the journalist used folk proverbs “The law is that whatever the drawbar you turn, that’s where it ends up” And “the laws are holy, but the lawyers are dashing adversaries”.

After this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karelia appealed to the Kostomuksha City Court with a demand to refute the article. The claim was rejected because the court did not consider it possible to verify the reliability of value judgments.

Today, the Supreme Court of Karelia overturned the previous decision and ordered the newspaper to refute the proverbs, reports the publication’s lawyer Elena Pavlova.

“It’s a strange decision, we are shocked and don’t know how it can be implemented, how to refute the proverb? There is a restriction on freedom of speech and freedom of thought,” said Lyubov Gorokhova.

We decided to help our colleagues and offer our own refutation options. For example, “a law is not a pole, but a set of mandatory norms and rules governing social relations,” or “laws are holy, and legalists are worthy of canonization.”

Surely each of us has heard the proverb “The law is that the drawbar: wherever you turn, that’s where it comes out.” But not everyone knows what a drawbar is. Let's try together to understand the meaning of this word and where it is used.

Definition

In order to understand what drawbar means, you need to familiarize yourself with the definition of this word. In the most common sense, a drawbar is understood as a shaft by which the cart is attached to the horse for further movement. There are single and paired drawbars. The design of the latter is made in such a way as to separate the horses in a paired team without loss of traction force.

It is attached to the front axle of the cart. In Russian, this word is considered borrowed. It comes from the Polish word dyszel.

Also, some car enthusiasts may be looking for an answer to the question. As a second meaning of the word, a drawbar is understood as a device that connects a vehicle to the turning axle of a trailer.

In both cases, this is a device that connects the vehicle to the trailer/cart. In practice, the drawbar designs in the trailer and in the harness differ slightly from each other.

Using a drawbar in the household

The drawbar is needed by people who have a couple of horses on their farm. When harvesting, one horse is not enough. In order to harness two horses to a team, a trail-and-drawbar harness is used. The drawbar is located between the horses, each of them needs to be fastened to it.

Line-drawbar harnessing is carried out in the following way:

  1. Collars and bridles must be placed on each horse.
  2. We place the horses so that the drawbar is between them.
  3. Then you need to put straps on the drawbar and fasten them on the bib of each horse. The handlers adjust the lines and fix the collar on the animal’s neck.
  4. We attach bibs to the clamp.
  5. And at the very end you need to attach the reins to the bridle.

Drawbar in a car trailer

Not every experienced mechanic knows what a drawbar is in a trailer’s design. The tongue is a lever located on the front of the trailer frame.

The design can be A-shaped or I-shaped. This may include:

  • Safety rope.
  • Hitch nodes.
  • Folding stand (some trailers do not have this).
  • Support (trolley) wheel.
  • A spare wheel can also be mounted on it.

The trailer drawbar bears the main load. Therefore, the greater the trailer’s transportation weight, the more serious the drawbar design will be. If the trailer's load capacity is small, an I-frame design is used. Accordingly, the A-shaped one is designed to transport heavier loads. It prevents the trailer from swaying when driving over potholes and uneven road surfaces.

In addition, the design of the drawbar of a car trailer can be removable or foldable, which, in turn, is very helpful when storing in small rooms.
