Village in the basement
On Thursday, June 13, activists of the public movement "Shield of Moscow" conducted a raid against illegal migrants, who have found refuge in the basement of an apartment house on the outskirts of Moscow. The correspondent of "Reedus' went along with activists to look at the everyday life of illegal immigrants and learn why" the law is the law, "but only on paper.
"The guards' gathered at the subway station" Zyablikovo "around 9 pm and went directly to the pre-established goals - in the basement, where dozens of illegal immigrants live. Way before it was known, because about a month ago, they have been there. Despite the fact that the last time all irregular migrants living in non-residential premises, were taken to the local police station, received information that "community" is still operating in its normal mode.

When between young people and the basement was 10 meters, smoked at the entrance to the room guest workers felt that something was wrong. Seeing the approaching group of young people (some of them - I have not said what they feared - donned a mask), the inhabitants of "dorm" accepted them, apparently, for the Nazis, thugs, and then some of them immediately set off on leaked.
In the basement of the "Shield of Moscow" waiting (or rather, did not wait) about 30 people, not less. Most of them initially did not even realize what is still going on, and continue to go about their business. However, the local "foreman" tried to take the initiative in their hands. He spoke about the rights and laws, but flatly refused to admit that he violates the laws of the Russian Federation.
Activists proposed guest worker write a statement, a kind of surrender, saying that if they write, they will be released from the police, which, incidentally, was already hurrying to the challenge. However, illegal immigrants were in no hurry to write anything, but most of them relied on some "bosses." Some said that they settled here the housing office.
While the police rushed to the basement, then one, then the second worker was trying to escape, I began studying the humble life obiteteley "dorm."
In the basement obviously we lived for many years. You can not call this place a kind of transshipment point. This entire village ... rather, village, hidden from the eyes of passers-by.
In the basement there is an infinite number of rooms, and all sorts of secret rooms, most of which are equipped with a lock on the outside. Why - more on that below. Interior easily distinguished maiden room, fully owned by families and simple "barracks."
Wealthy room well furnished. In most of these rooms has a TV, double bed, toys, music system - is there anything in any residential apartment. "Barracks" insanitary conditions differ, the sharp stench of garbage in every corner. In these rooms is 2-3 dvuyarusnye bed.
However, a common feature of most rooms is electric, always-on fan, as in the basement of the climate is hot, even for the Uzbeks.
Before the police arrived there was a long-awaited "boss", which with the warmth and hope in his voice said migrants Galina "covers illegals" Vishnjakova. Honorius she does not hold. About law and order it, as opposed to "podpechnyh" does not mumble, and cried, like African elephant. As it should be in such situations, it constantly with someone called up, simultaneously cursing the camera is turned on, the activists gave determine one another offensive. Against the background of emaciated illegal impressive and important figures Vishnyakova stood out very clearly ...
As it turned out from the conversation with a local resident, Galina Vishnjakova long time working just a janitor. But then something changed in her life, and is clearly the better side for it. Now, as told to talk to me retired, she "shouts the loudest and the most builds itself."
Arrived police did not stand on ceremony, and without long preliminaries went to the point: "The documents which have quickly got! All the top! On the way out soon! ". A pair of patrol cars, packed with migrants made several short trips to the local branch and back. When the last inhabitants of "dorm" got into the car, the police asked the activists to walk on the basement and help to turn off the electricity.
However, it turned out that in addition included electrical appliances in the basement there is still something, or rather someone. The police have taken away nearly a dozen workers, and there were as said above, not less than 30. Let another 10 very dodgy able to escape, but where were the remaining third?
Again, having gone down to the basement, activists of the "Shield of Moscow" drew attention to the unusual change. All the doors that have been opened before, appeared blocked on the lock. The reasons are clear. Migrants are worried as they had not been robbed. But in addition to the things his illegals have saved in this way and their "disappeared" comrades. It is unlikely that you forget ...
Strong shoulders and crowbars to quickly resolve the situation, and has relaxed staff had again engaged in passenger transportation.
When the last round ended the "game of hide and seek" in the basement reappeared Vishnjakova. She once went around all the rooms have closed the door and left ...
How many days the activists have again come to the basement is the complaint of local residents, only time will tell ...
