1 | Russia: A Day of Rallies | Rosia: Andro iray ho fihetsehana |
2 | It was sunny in Moscow on Jan. 31, with temperatures around minus 14 degree Celsius/7 degrees Fahrenheit, but despite the cold, the city saw a number of anti-government rallies - and some fighting. | Nibaliaka ny masoandro teto Mosko ny andron'ny 31 janoary, ambanin'ny 14° Celsius/7° Fahrenheit teo ho eo ny maripàna, nefa na teo aza ny hatsiaka, nahitàna fihetsehana maromaro ho fanoherana ny governemanta ny tanàna - ary fifanjevoana vitsivitsy. |
3 | Below are a few accounts, some photos, videos, and links. | Ireto manaraka ireto misy fitantaràna fohy, sary, ampahan-tsary miaina, ary rohy vitsivitsy. |
4 | LJ user drugoi posted nine photos from the opposition rally on Bolshaya Polyanka and wrote this (RUS): | LJ drugoi dia nandefa sary sivy mikasika ny fihetsehan'ny mpanohitra tao Bolshaya Polyanka sady nanoratra toy izao (RUS): |
5 | Young opposition activists have once again succeeded in marching down a Moscow street today. | Nahavita nidina an-dàlam-be indray mandeha indray tao Mosko ireo tanora mafana fo avy amin'ny mpanohitra androany. |
6 | This time it was Bolshaya Polyanka, and the participants of the rally […] were getting there in roundabout ways, switching trains on the metro. | Tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity dia tao Bolshaya Polyanka, ary ireo mpandray anjara tamin'ny hetsi-panoherana […] dia nindrana làla-miolaka mba hamonjy io toerana io, nifindra fiaran-dàlamby tany anaty metro. |
7 | Today, however, it turned out that the regime had some volunteer (or, perhaps, hired) assistants. […] | Androany, na izany aza anefa, dia toa hita ho nahazo mpilatsaka an-tsitrapo (hitsikilo) ihany ny mpitondra (na, angamba koa, voakarama). […] |
8 | The moment the column of approximately 50 to 80 “dissenters” with flags and banners started moving along Polyanka, a few cars drove up from behind and - with the words, “Why aren't you letting us relax, assholes?” - some 10 or 12 people got out, dressed uniformly: in jogging pants, jeans and hooded jackets. | Tamin'ny fotoana izay nahitàna “mpanohitra” tokony ho 50 hatramin'ny 80 any ho any milanja saina sy sora-baventy nanomboka nirotsaka tao an-dàlambe mamakivaky an'i Polyanka, dia nisy fiara vitsivitsy nisosososo nisongona azy ireo avy any aoriana ary - miaraka amin'ny fitenenana hoe, “ fa nahoana izahay no tsy avelanareo hitsotsotra [hiaina], ry le****ireto?” - dia nisy olona 10 na 12 teo nivoaka avy any, nitovy fitafy daholo amina pataloha jogging, jeans sy gilets misy satrony. |
9 | Without delay, the gang started beating the protesters, and a pretty serious fight began. | Tsy nisy andraso andraso, tonga dia nidaroka ireo mpanao fihetsehana ireo andian'olona ireo, ary fiatombohana ady saritaka be izay. |
10 | There was some initial confusion in the “dissenters”‘ ranks, but then they were quite organized and tough as they fought the attackers back. | Somary nisy fisavoritahana ihany tany amboalohany tao anaty filaharan'ireo “mpanohitra”‘, nefa nalaky nilamina sy nirindra ry zareo ka afaka nanohitra ireto mpanafika ihany. |
11 | Among the protesters, there were people with blood on their faces, one of the reporters had a stone thrown at his camera, but the attackers were forced to run away and would have been chased if the opposition activists hadn't decided to continue on their march. | Tamin'ireo mpanao fihetsehana, nisy olona feno rà ny tavany, iray tamin'ireo mpitatitra vaovao kosa no nisy nitoraka vato ny camera nentiny, saingy voatery nanao tari-dositra ihany ireo mpanafika ary saiky mbola nifanenjehana [natao haza lambo] aza raha tsy nanapa-kevitra hanohy ny diabeny ireo mpanohitra mafana fo. |
12 | At the end of the fight, those who were covering their faces with scarves sprayed some tear gas around. | Tany amin'ny faran'ny gidragidra, nisy tamin'ireo nisaron-tava tamin'ny sampina [écharpes] no nanipy baomba mandatsa-dranomaso. |
13 | Many of those who were affected had to wash their eyes. | Maro tamin'ireo tratr'izany no tsy maintsy nanàsa ny masony. |
14 | Riot police showed up only after the rally was over, and the work of all the law enforcement organs had to be done by two police [officers] from a nearby station, under the sharp eye of a dark-blue police helicopter hanging over Polyanka. | Efa taorian'ny nahataperan'ny hetsika vao tonga ireo mpitandro filaminana mpandrava fihetsiketsehana, ary dia [manamboninahitra] polisy roa monja avy amin'ny toby tsy lavitra teo no nanatanteraka ny asan'ireo sampan-draharaha misahana ny fampandriana fahalemana, teo ambany fanaraha-mason'ny angidimby [helicopter] iray manga antitra nisidina teo ambonin'i Polyanka. |
15 | Several times they jumped bravely into the protesters' crowd, trying to take the banners away. | Matetika izy ireo no niditra tamin-pahasahiana teny anivon'ireo olona mpanao fihetsehana, mba nanàndrana hàka ireo sora-baventy. |
16 | It was causing some serious resistance, but the protesters had more people and [the police officers] obviously didn't have the guts to face up to them. | Vao mainka niteraka fanoherana mafy izany, nefa koa ireo mpanohitra dia nànana vahoaka maro ary [ireo manamboninahitry ny police] dia mazàva be fa tsy nànana velively ny mokon-doha hifanenjana [hifanandrina] amin'izy ireo. |
17 | Desperate, one of the policemen rushed to a group of soldiers he saw standing on the sidewalk, and begged them to join in the difficult task of protecting public order. | Kivy, niolomay nankeny amina vondrona tafika iray tsinjony nijoro teo amoron-dàlana teo ny iray tamin'ireo mpitandro filaminana, ary niangavy azy ireo mba hirotsaka an-tsehatra amin'ity asa sarotra ho fitandroana ny filaminam-bahoaka ity. |
18 | The cadets reluctantly shifted from one foot to the other, but didn't go against the people's will. | Nampifandondona ny tongony roa fotsiny no nataon'ilay zandriny indrindra tamin'ireo, fa tsy nandeha nisedra [hanohitra] velively ny safidim-bahoaka izy. |
19 | All in all, the Dissenters' March has again taken place, and there was more than enough drive today. | Eto am-pamaranana, tanteraka ihany indray ny fidinana an-dàlambe nataon'ny mpanohitra, ary maro kokoa noho izay nosainina ny fivezivezena androany. |
20 | Riot police units, which showed up belatedly […], seized whoever was within reach - a cameraman, for example, with a huge Betacam on his shoulder - placed them into the [police van] and drove away. | Ny andiana mpitandro filaminana mpandrava fihetsiketsehana, izay efa taraiky vao tonga[…], dia nisambotra izay sendra ny tànany teny - mpaka sary iray [cameraman], ohatra, miaraka amin'ny Betacam iray goavana eny an-tsorony - nampiditra azy ireny tao anaty fiaran'ny mpitandro filaminana ary dia lasa nandeha. |
21 | Somewhere above the square a new police helicopter hung still - all it had left to do was register the fact that the “dissenters” have managed to achieve what they wanted today. | Teo ambonin'ny toerana teo dia nisy angidimby iray an'i mpitandro filaminana nijijy am-pitoerana -ny hany sisa nataony dia ny nanamarika fa tontosan'ireo “mpanohitra” izay nokasain'izy ireo natao androany. |
22 | LJ user zyalt posted nearly 30 photos from the same rally in the oppositional namarsh_ru LJ community. | zyalt mpampiasa LJ dia nandefa sary 30 eo ho eo avy amin'io fihetsehana io ao amin'ny fiombonambe LJ namarsh_ru izay an'ny mpanohitra. |
23 | Russian photographer Oleg Klimov posted a few pictures of the National Bolshevik leader Eduard Limonov, who made an attempt to hold another rally on Jan. 31 - a follow-up to the protest by the Communist Party at Triumphalnaya Square. | I Oleg Klimov, Rosiana mpaka sary dia nandefa sary vitsivitsy mampiseho an'i Eduard Limonov filoha nasionalin'ny Bolshevik, ilay nanàndrana nitarika fihetsehana iray hafa - valy bontana ho an'ny hetsiky ny Antoko Kaominista tao an-kianjan'i Triumphalnaya. |
24 | Here're some of Klimov's observations (RUS): | Ireto ny sasantsasany tamin'ireo fanamarihan'i Klimov (RUS): |
25 | […] Triumphalnaya Square, in front of the monument to [poet Vladimir Mayakovsky], was cordoned off by riot police - and empty. | […] Ny kianjan'i Triumphalnaya , manoloana indrindra ny sarivongan'ilay poeta Vladimir Mayakovsky, dia nohodidinin'ny mpitandro filaminana mpandrava fihetsiketsehana - ary foana [tsy nisy olona]. |
26 | There was a crowd by the entrance to the metro, though, not allowed to come to the stone “revolutionary poet” - and the loudspeaker kept addressing them loudly: “The rally is over! | Na dia hipoka olona aza teo amin'ny fidirana handray metro, tsy nomena alàlana hihazo ny tsangambaton'ilay “poetan'ny fiovàna” - ary dia nitàtatata tokoa ireo fampitam-peo [loudspeaker] niteny mafy azy ireo hoe : “Tapitra ny hetsika! |
27 | Go home!” | Ndeha mody!” |
28 | Most of these people were journalists and they didn't want to disperse. | Mpanao gazety ny maro tamin'ireo olona teo ary tsy te-hiparitaka velively ry zareo. |
29 | They were waiting. | Niandry izy ireo. |
30 | Waiting despite the fact that the [National Bolshevik activists] and other young people had already been arrested and squeezed into [police vehicles]. | Niandry na dia teo aza ny fahitàna fa be ireo mafana fo avy amin'ny National Bolshevik sy ireo tanora hafa koa no efa voasambotra sy nafatratra tao anaty fiaran'ny mpitandro filaminana. |
31 | We walked out [from the opposite side of the square] and it seemed as if nobody noticed us. | Nikisaka izahay [avy aty ambadikin'ny kianja] ary toa tsy nisy nahatsikaritra anay akory ny olona. |
32 | Limonov started his speech by the monument to Mayakovsky. | Nanomboka ny kabariny i Limonov teo akaikin'ny sarivongan'i Mayakovsky. |
33 | The crowd by the metro got somewhat excited, but riot police were holding them tough. | Efa nanomboka niakatrakatra ihany ireo vahoaka nanoloana ny metro, saingy mbola nogiazan'ireo mpitandro filaminana. |
34 | Some of the journalists managed to break through, however, and ran towards Limonov. | Nisy mpanao gazety vitsivitsy tafaporitsaka ihany anefa; ary nihazakazaka nankeny amin'i Limonov. |
35 | Riot police ran after them. | Nirohotra nanenjika azy ireo mpitandro filaminana mpandrava fihetsiketsehana. |
36 | Things were happening around the revolutionary writer [Limonov] as well. | Be ny zavatra nitranga nanodidina an'ilay mpanoratra revolisionera [mpanoratry ny fanovàna] [Limonov]. |
37 | He continued talking, most likely about “freedom, fraternity and equality,” surrounded by his personal guards, but at some point two huge plainclothes guys pushed over simultaneously on Limonov's bodyguards and hit one of them right into his nose. | Nanohy niteny izy, indrindra fa mikasika ny “fahalalàhana, firahalahiana ary ny fitovian-jo”, voahodidin'ireo mpiaro azy manokana, fa tamina fotoana tsy voafaritra dia nisy roalahy goavam-be niara-niantsampy nanao amboletra ireo mpiaro an'i Limonov ary namely ny iray tamin'izy ireo teo amin'ny tetezan'orony. |
38 | It was just an ordinary fight. | Toy ny hoe ady tsotra ireny ihany ilay izy. |
39 | Limonov was thrown on the asphalt, but, as an experienced revolutionary, he managed to take his glasses off, to keep them from being broken, obviously. | Voatsipy teny ambony tara i Limonov, nefa, amin'ny maha mpitolona ho amin'ny fanovàna efa zatra ady azy, dia mbola niezaka nanàla ny solomasony izy, mba tsy ho vaky, mazava loatra. |
40 | The guards did their best to protect him, but the riot police were there soon, and it all ended the way it always does - the doors of the [police vehicle] […] were shut close. | Nanao izay ho afany ireo mpiaro mba hiarovana azy, saingy efa tonga teo ireo mpitandro filaminana mpandrava fihetsiketsehana, ary dia nifarana toy ny efa fahita izy ity - nikaratoka ireo varavaran'ny fiaran'ny mpitandro filaminana […]. |
41 | The crowd was just staring at what was going on - with obvious pleasure, it seemed. | Tsy nanan-katao afa-tsy ny nijery ny fizotr'izay rehetra izay fotsiny ireo olona marobe nanotrona teo - toy ny an-kafaliana tsy miafina aza. |
42 | No one said anything. | Tsy nisy na iray aza sahy niloa-bava. |
43 | No one yelled anything. | Tsy nisy nihogahoga. |
44 | No one cursed anyone… the crowd was observing, along with the journalists. | Tsy nisy nifandrangitra… nandinika fotsiny ny maro, toy ireo mpanao gazety maro teo. |
45 | Observing lawlessness and impunity of the “cats” who didn't like one “little mouse” that was not gray. | Nijery ny tsy fanarahan-dalàna sy ny tsy maha maty manota ataon'ireto “saka” izay tsy tia “voalavo kely” iray tsy volom-batolalaka. |
46 | There was a feeling of sadness because of this, and a terrible embarrassment, because, as Johann Goethe, I guess, said - “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” | Alahelo sy hasorenana lalina no naterak'izany, satria, araka izay nolazain'i Johann Goethe, raha ny faminavinako azy, - “Tsy misy andevo sarotra avotana noho ireo izay mihevitra ny tenany ho olona afaka. |
47 | Below is a video of the events at Triumphalnaya Square, posted by LJ user zlaya-uchilka: | Ity ambany ity ny ampahan-tsary tamin'ny zava-nitranga tao an-kianjan'i Triumphalnaya, nalefan'i zlaya-uchilka: mpampiasa LJ |
48 | According to LJ user alaverin (RUS), Eduard Limonov is to spend the night and part of Feb. 1 at the police department. | Araka ny hevitr'i alaverin mampiasa LJ (RUS), dia handany ny alina manontolo sy ny voalohan'ny volana Febroary any amin'ny biraon'ny mpitandro filaminana i Eduard Limonov. |
49 | A pro-Kremlin rally took place just off Red Square on Jan. 31, too. | Nisy hetsika iray nataon'ny mpomba an'i Kremlin koa teo amin'ny kianja “Mena” tamin'ny 31 janoary. |
50 | LJ user drugoi posted a photo of one of the banners from that event: “We believe!” - underneath the portraits of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin. | I drugoi mpampiasa LJ dia nandefa sary iray tamin'ireo sora-baventy tamin'io hetsika io: “Mino izahay!” - teo ambanin'ny sarin'i Dmitry Medvedev sy Vladimir Putin. |
51 | Some of drugoi‘s readers thought the banner looked familiar, in two different ways: | Ny sasantsasany amin'ireo mpamakin'i drugoi dia nihevitra fa zava-mahazatra sy efa fahita ny sora-baventy, amin'ny fomba fijery roa samihafa: |
52 | cab9: | cab9: |
53 | I thought at first that this was an Obama poster. *** | Noheveriko tany amboalohany fa sarin'i Obama ilay izy. *** |
54 | filaretus: | filaretus: |
55 | Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin. | Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin. |
56 | Long live CPSU. | Ho ela velona ny CPSU. |
57 | How deep must the USSR still be in the people that even after nearly 20 years the same style of banner design comes up. | Tena latsa-paka ao am-pon'ny olona ny USSR raha toa ka 20 taona aty aoriana dia mbola ahitàna sora-baventy tahaka ireny ihany. |
58 | dont_ban_me_mo: | dont_ban_me_mo: |
59 | It never went away anywhere, they've just done a little re-branding, Putin instead of Lenin, [Medvedev] instead of Stalin, and the CPSU has renamed itself into [the United Russia party]. | Tsy mbola nanjavona tanteraka izany, somary nampangatsiahina kely fotsiny [nampatoriana], Putin mba ho solon'i Lenin, [Medvedev] ho solon'i Stalin, ary ny CPSU dia niova anarana ho azy ho [ny antokon'i Rosia mitambatra]. |
60 | LJ user mutin2007 posted a sheep cartoon, on which the animals hold banners thanking the regime for price hikes and layoffs, among other things. | I mutin2007 mpampiasa LJ dia nandefa sarimiaina mampihomehy ahitàna ondry, ka ao anatin'io no ahitàna ireo biby manangana sora-baventy misaotra ny mpitondra tamin'ny fisondrotam-bidin'ny fiainana sy ny fandroahana, ankoatra ireo zavatra hafa. |
61 | Also, LJ user mutin2007 posted a photo from a rally that took place on the same day all the way across Russia, in Vladivostok: a group of protesters there carried a banner with the words “Putler kaput!!!” on it. | Ankoatra izay koa, i mutin2007 dia nandefa sary pika avy amin'ny hetsika nitranga iny andro iny ihany nanerana ny làlana namakivaky an'i Rosia, tao Vladivostok: vondrona mpanohitra iray no nilanja sora-baventy nisy ny soratra hoe “Putler kaput!!!” teo amboniny. |
62 | LJ user bwm posted 16 more photos from the Vladivostok rally, organized by the Communist Party and the Community of Activist Citizens of Russia (TIGR), and wrote this (RUS): | I bwm mpampiasa LJ dia nandefa sary efa ho 16 momba ny hetsika tao Vladivostok, nokarakarain'ny Antoko Kaominista sy ny Fivondronam-ben'ireo Olon-tsotra mafana fo ao Rosia (TIGR), ary nanoratra an'ity (RUS): |
63 | […] The march turned out to be pretty strange because [TIGR activists] didn't really have anything in common with the Communists - neither in their appearance, nor in their [political views]. | […] Naka endrika mahatsikaiky ilay diabe satria ny mafana fo avy amin'ny [TIGR] dia tsy nànana velively zavatra iraisana amin'ny Kaominista - na izany amin'ny fomba fiseho ety ivelany, na izany amin'ny fijery politikan'izy ireo. |
64 | But most of the protesters were people who did not belong to any political movements, but were just not indifferent to the realities around them. […] | Saingy be tamin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana no olona tsy mpikambana velively amina fironana politika, fa kosa tsy afaka ny hinia tsy hahalala ny tena zava-misy manodidina azy ireo. […] |
