1 | Russia: Hidden Camera Reveals Illegal Electioneering in School This post is part of our special coverage Russia Elections 2011. | Rosia: Fitaovana Fakàna Horonantsary Miafina Nampiseho Fampielezan-kevitra Tsy Ara-dalàna Tao An-tsekoly. |
2 | A scandal caused by a hidden camera recording at a school in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia has highlighted a serious problem in Russian schools: teachers campaigning for the ruling party, United Russia. | Ny zava-niseho nateraky ny fakàna sary miafina tao an-tsekoly tany Krasnoyarsk, Siberia dia nanasongadina olana manan-danja any amin'ireo sekoly Rosiana: ireo mpampianatra manohana ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana, ny United Russia. |
3 | Underpaid and dependent on government funding, teachers are one of the pillars of the current political system. | Sady tsy ampy karama no miankina amin'ny fanohanana ara-bola avy amin'ny fitondrana, ny mpampianatra dia anisan'ireo andrin'ny rafitra politika ankehitriny. |
4 | Local and regional elections often take place in school buildings, and the electoral committees in Russia often consist mainly of teachers. | Ny fifidianana dia matetika atao any amin'ny trano fianarana, ary ny komitim-pifidianana dia mpampianatra no tena mameno azy. |
5 | Whether it's from fear of losing funding, or belief in United Russia's promises, this often leads to illegal electioneering in schools. | Na avy amin'ny tahotra ny ho fahaverezan'ny famatsiam-bola, na avy amin'ny finoana ny toky napetraky ny United Russia, dia miteraka fifidianana tsy ara-dalàna ao an-tsekoly izany matetika. |

7 | On 15 November, 2011, 15-year-old Matvey Tsivinyuk, uploaded a video of himself being scolded by his school principal, Alexandra Pronina, at Krasnoyarsk Gymnazium number 3 (the website went offline after massive interest from bloggers). | Ny 15 Novambra 2011 lasa teo, Matvey Tsivinyuk, tovolahy 15 taona, dia namoaka horonantsary tamin'ny Krasnoyarsk Gymnazium number 3 (tsy misokatra intsony io tranokala io taorian'ny fanehoan-kevitra marobe avy amin'ireo bilaogera), nampiseho ny tenany notezeran'ny talen-tsekoly, Alexandra Pronina. |

10 | Tsivinyuk had been caught defacing political posters that were hanging in the school hallways. | Tsivinyuk dia tratra nanimba peta-drindrina mikasika politika izay nihantona tao an-dalatsaran'ny sekoly. |
11 | The posters with a Russian tricolor flag in the background bore portraits of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, President Dmitry Medvedev and two local politicians (see photo right). | Ireo peta-drindrina dia nitondra ny loko telon'ny saina rosiana ho lafika ary nisy ny sarin'ny praiministra Vladimir Putin, ny filoha Dmitry Medvedev ary mpanao politika roa hafa avy ao an-toerana (jereo ny sary eo ankavanana). |
12 | Before meeting the principal, Tsivinyuk turned on the video recorder in his smartphone. | Talohan'ny nihaonany tamin'ny tale dia nalefan'i Tsivinyuk ny fandraisana sary tao amin'ny findainy. |
13 | The dialogue captured by the device has been widely cited as evidence of unlawful actions from school authorities, and also lends a narrative to explain the support for the current political regime. | Ny resaka azo tao dia maneho porofo mazava ny hetsika tsy manara-dalàna ataon'ny manam-pahefana ao an-tsekoly, no sady koa manazava ny fomba fanohanana ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana amin'izao fotoana. |
14 | Later that day, Tsivinyuk removed the video from his own profile but bloggers have not let the video disappear: | Tao aoriana kely iny andro iny ihany dia nofafan'i Tsivinyuk tao amin'ny pejiny ilay horonantsary, saingy tsy navelan'ireo bilaogera hanjavona kosa ilay horonantsary: |

17 | Here is a translation of what is said: | Ity no fandikàna ny resaka: |
18 | Principal: Do you know what this means for you? | Tale: Moa va fantatrao no dikan'izao ho anao? |
19 | Tsivinyuk: It means nothing to me because, according to the point 5 of the article 9 of the Law on Political parties… [Matvey correctly cites the law that forbids interference of the political process in education] | Tsivinyuk: Tsy midika na inona na inona amiko izao, satria raha araky ny teboka fahadimin'ny andininy fahasivy eo amin'ny lalàn'ny antoko politika dia.. [Matvey dia nanambara ny lalàna marina izay mandràra ny fijabahan'ny politika eo amin'ny tontolon'ny fampianarana] |
20 | Principal: Enough, enough, Matvey. | Tale: Aoka izay, aoka izay. |
21 | There's no article number 9, number 10, they [the police] will write that you damaged the poster. | Tsy misy andininy fahasivy sy fahafolo izany, hanao tatitra an-tsoratra fotsiny ry zareo [ny polisy] fa hoe nosimbainao ilay peta-drindrina. |
22 | […] Does your family have lots of money to pay for the fine for the damage? | […] Manam-bola be ve ny ray aman-dreninao handoa sazy ho fanamboarana ny simba? |
23 | Tsivinyuk: A fine for the piece of paper? | Tsivinyuk: Sazy ho fanamboarana ilay taratasy ve? |
24 | Principal [screaming]: For the hooliganism! | Tale [mihiaka]: Ho an'ny asam-boto! |
25 | You understand it's not just a paper, it's a political poster! | Fantatrao fa tsy taratasy fotsiny io, peta-drindrina politika io! |
26 | Tsivinyuk: It can't be in school. | Tsivinyuk: Tsy afaka atao aty am-pianarana io. |
27 | Because the activity of political parties on the territory of schools is forbidden. | Satria ny hetsika ataon'ny antoko politika dia voarara aty an-tsekoly. |
28 | Principal: You understand, it's not campaigning. | Tale: Azonao? Tsy fampielezn-kevitra io. |
29 | Tsivinyuk: So what is it then? | Tsivinyuk: Fa inona io izany? |
30 | Principal: It is not campaigning. | Tale: Tsy fampielezan-kevitra io. |
31 | People put it there so that everyone could read the biographies [of Medvedev, Putin, and local politicians]. | Apetaka eo amin'izay afaka vakian'ny olona ny tantaram-piainana [an'i Medvedev, Putin sy ireo mpanao politika hafa.] |
32 | From now on I forbid you to do anything to these posters. | Manomboka izao dia raràko tsy hikitika an'ireo peta-drindrina ireo intsony ianao. |
33 | You've spoiled several posters. | Efa betsaka izay no nosimbànao. |
34 | If you will spoil more, I will call the police. | Raha mbola manimba eo ianao dia antsoiko ny polisy. |
35 | Tsivinyuk: And what will they do to me? | Tsivinyuk: Dia inona no ho ataony amiko? |
36 | Principal: I don't know. | Tale: Tsy fantatro. |
37 | […] But I have warned you. […] | […] Fa efa nampitandrina aho zay. […] |
38 | Then the principal compared Tsivinyuk to Lenin, and reminded him of Lenin's expulsion from his school and the university. | Avy eo dia nampitovy an'i Tsivinyuk tamin'i Lenin ilay tale, ary nampahatsiahy azy ny nahavoaroaka an'i Lenin tamin'ny sekoliny sy ny anjerimanontolo. |
39 | After a digression about Tsivinyuk's religious beliefs (he's an Orthodox Christian) the Principal exclaimed: | Avy eo koa dia naneso azy tamin'ny finoana arahan'i Tsivinyuk (kristiana ortodoksa ity farany) koa ilay tale ka nanampy hoe : |
40 | Principal: How can a Christian person perform such non-Christian actions? | Tale: Ahoana no ahafahan'olona kristiana manatanteraka hetsika tsy kristiana tahaka izao? |
41 | [speaking of defacing a political poster] | [mikasika ilay fanimbàna peta-drindrina] |
42 | Tsivinyuk: Political views and religious views are different spheres of life. | Tsivinyuk: Ny fijery ara-politika sy ny fijery ara-pinoana dia tontolo roa samy hafa eo amin'ny fiainana. |
43 | Principal [screaming]: If you don't understand this, let's meet with your leader [of the Orthodox Christian group Tsivinyuk belongs to] | Tale [mihiaka]: Raha tsy azonao izany teneniko izany dia ndao hihaona amin'ny mpitondra anareo [mpitondra ny vondrona kristiana ortodoksa misy an'i Tsivinyuk] |
44 | Tsivinuyk: He has nothing to do with this. | Tsivinuyk: Tsy misy idirany ity resaka ity. |
45 | Principal [screaming]: How is that? | Tale [mihiaka]: Ahoana izany? |
46 | For example, I think that no one is teaching you this in school. No one teaches you in school how to do such nasty things, to write bad things on posters. | Mino aho fa tsy misy mampianatra anao an'izany aty an-tsekoly aty, tsy misy mampianatra anao hanao zavatra tsy mety toy izao, manoratra zavatra ratsy amin'ny peta-drindrina. |
47 | Where and who teaches you then? | Taiza ary iza no nampianatra anao an”izany ary? |
48 | Where did you get this into your head? | Taiza izany no niditra tao an-tsainao? |
49 | We should find the place where you were taught this. | Tokony hotadiavintsika ny toerana nianaranao an'izany. |
50 | […] Once again, the minimum is a fine. | […] Averiko ihany, farafahakeliny tokony mandoa sazy ianao. |
51 | Tsivinyuk: For what? | Tsivinyuk: Ho an'ny inona? |
52 | Principal: You still don't understand? | Tale: Mbola tsy azonao ihany ve? |
53 | Tsivinyuk: Well, tell me the article number of the administrative code I have violated. | Tsivinyuk: Raha izany dia teneno ahy hoe andininy fahafiry tao amin'ny lalàn'ny sekoly no nodikaiko. |
54 | The principal did not explain to Tsivinyuk why the defacement of illegally hung political posters would be cause for administrative or police charges. | Ilay tale moa dia tsy nanazava tamin'i Tsivinyuk ny antony mazava mety hampisy fanenjehana avy amin'ny manampahefana na ny polisy noho ny fanimbàna peta-drindrina tsy ara-dalàna |
55 | The case may have never reached the public had it not been for Moscow blogger and journalist Vladimir Varfolomeev who published [ru] the story in his blog (the post attracted more than 2,000 comments). | Mety tsy ho niparitaka be teny imasom-bahoaka ity raharaha ity raha tsy nisy ny bilaogera tao Moskoa sy ilay mpanao gazety Vladimir Varfolomeev izay namoaka [ru] ny tantara tamin'ny blaoginy (izay nahateraka fanehoan-kevitramihoatra ny 2000). |
56 | Siberian and federal websites quickly re-published the story. | Naverin'ny tranonkala Siberiana sy ny tao an-toerana navoaka haingana indray ny tantara avy eo. |
57 | Vice-Governor of Krasnoyarsk, Sergey Ponomarenko, said [ru] that Tsivinyuk's actions were “mean” and this attracted critical comments from bloggers who said United Russia and Ponomarenko himself were the “mean” ones. | Ny governora lefitry any Krasnoyarsk, Sergey Ponomarenko, dia nilaza [ru] fa “tsy mendrika” ny fihetsik'i Tsivinyuk, ary nahasarika fanehoan-kevitra maro avy amin'ireo bilaogera izany ka ireo dia namely fa ny United Russia sy i Ponomarenko mihitsy no “tsy mendrika”. |
58 | By the end of the day, Tsivinyuk removed his video (there is no information regarding what pressure was put on him). | Ny harivan'io andro io dia nofafàn'i Tsivinyuk ilay horonantsary (tsy nisy vaovao ny mety ho famoretana nihatra taminy). |
59 | On his Vkontakte page (Russian equivalent to Facebook) he wrote [ru]: | Tamin'ny pejiny Vkontakte (tambajotra socialy mitovy amin'ny Facebook) dia izao no nambarany [ru]: |
60 | I haven't given up, but I'm not in to politics anymore. | Tsy nanaiky resy aho, saingy tsy hiditra amin'ny politika intsony. |
61 | I hope you get me right, don't get into this crap, think of the future, take care of your friends. | Mino aho fa azonareo ny tiako Iazaina, tsy miditra amin'izany, mibanjina ny ho avy, ny namana no karakaraina. |
62 | There have been many incidents of this nature leading up to the Russian election in March 2012. | Maro ny tranga mitovy amin'ity iray ity no efa niseho amin'izao fiandrasana ny fifidianana Rosiana amin'ny Marsa 2012 izao. |
63 | Kartanarusheniy.ru [ru], a website that crowd-sources reports of electoral fraud, currently lists 737 cases of “Authorities creating preferential conditions [for candidates]”. | Ny Kartanarusheniy.ru [ru], tranonkala dia mitatitra avy eny ifotony ny halatra amin'ny fifidianana, milaza tranga 737 mikasika manam-pahefana miangatra [amin'ireo mpilatsaka hofidiana sasany]. |
64 | And last year, a video [ru] on YouTube showed teachers in one school giving first-graders gifts while talking about how great United Russia is. | Ary ny taona lasa teo, horonantsary [ru] iray tao amin'ny YouTube no nampiseho mpampianatra manolotra fanomezana an'ireo mpianatra nahazo mari-pahaizana sady miresaka momba ny fahatsaran'ny United Russia. |
65 | The dialogue between the hysterical principal versus the calm, tech-savvy Tsivinyuk who knows the law, represents a huge generational gap, and a hope that the obscurity and ignorance (for instance assuming that all knowledge comes from school) can be exposed and defeated. | Ny resaka nataon'ilay talen-tsekoly sorena mafy sy ilay mpianatra tony mahay lalàna dia maneho elanelana be misy eo amin'ny sokajin-taona, sy fanantenana fa ny haizina sy ny tsy fahalalàna (raha raisina hoe avy amin'ny sekoly no ahazoana ny fahalalàna rehetra) dia azo abaribary sy resena. |
