Impregnable Moscow
These are the hands of Ira Yassin. She has a strong masculine handshake - like every person who moves through the world in a wheelchair. It is not an easy task in itself - to carry yourself in a wheelchair, and in our cities, for which these people do not exist, as it were - is doubly difficult.
July 3 at the initiative of the magazine "Big City" a few people decided to try to drive through Moscow in a wheelchair. Among them was Ivan Dykhovichny filmmakers and Valeria Gai Germanicus, actor Artur Smolyaninov, deputy chief editor of "BG" Catherine Krongauz, people from the Internet or other Anton Spout.
With them on the inhospitable for a person with disabilities left the streets of Moscow are people who are always moving in wheelchairs - an economist Irina Yasin, a lawyer Alexei Morozov, Russian champion in wheelchair tennis Natalia Bakhmatova. People in wheelchairs accompanied the crews of the First channel, NTV, and about a dozen photographers. The route goes along Kutuzovsky Prospekt in the center. The objective was to show the media with some insurmountable obstacles faced by people every day, forced to move around in a wheelchair.
Taking the quick reporting of others about the unsuitability of any city to the lives of disabled people

Ivan Dykhovichny said that the country in which so many have fought, which has always been a huge number of people with disabilities,
persons deprived of their ability to move independently and never learned to create the conditions for them,
where they would be passable.
Make sure that today could be at every step, at every entrance to the shop, bank, residential entrance.
Why are there - just to see what it is - to move to the street on a pedestrian crossing.
Arthur Smoljaninov, a few years ago starring in the movie "9 rota", said the soldiers with disabilities.
Group wheelchair set off.
The threshold at the entrance to the staircase and a door - an insurmountable obstacle for Elena Pogrebizhskaya (Bucci). It is impossible not only to enter the stone threshold, but also to keep the door open.
For a person in a wheelchair can not use the ATM. Even so, the street.
Lev Rubinstein helps Leray Gai Germanicus overcome stone curb at the pedestrian crossing.
We do not notice these little things, but for a man in a wheelchair, even this hurdle to be overcome with difficulty.
Ivan Dykhovichny it was also not the strength to help him and those who do it every day and many times.
To get free access to the store, he needed the help of two or three people.
And even in this case, the door could not be opened - it prevented the stroller.
Alex tries to enter the studio in his motorized wheelchair, which in Moscow is about 150 000 rubles.
Enter somehow manage with the help of an assistant, and to leave, needed the help of two more people.
Subways in general are virtually inaccessible to people in wheelchairs.
Ira and his assistant demonstrated how to pull a person in a wheelchair on the iron trough set on the stairs.
On it was scary to watch.
Climbing stairs - no less serious procedure. Just like that, his back, counting each step.
And, of course, just the two. About any independent movement of a person in a wheelchair and can not speak.
No, these steps at the entrance to the bank Ira can not win.
The end point of the route was the shopping center "European" - have agreed to try to get up there in the cinema, and warned about the visit of the administration. But how to cross Kutuzov?
After the underpass did not work and the organizers decided to ask the police officer to translate the whole group across the avenue.
However, the traffic cop did not need help. Once the drivers are seen standing on the side of people in wheelchairs,
the flow stopped on their own and we have nothing to do, began to move to the other side.
This is where the White rushed horror lieutenant with striped stick. - What are you doing?? The same federal highway b ... Here machines federal travel! And well, waving a stick in the car - say, drive, continue. However, until the last person in a wheelchair is not moved to the dividing line, no one moved. Large SUV with blue gaishnaya rooms, wading with a flashing "chandelier" and kryakalkoy along a stream in the left lane at the sight of people with cameras, turned off the "chandelier" and quietly waited until the whole cavalcade finishes Kutuzovsky transition.
But the matter of the illegal crossing of the federal highway is not over.
After about a minute we pulled gaishnaya "Ford", because it came two captains in a beautiful white shirts (GAI day!) And demanded an explanation.
There was a smell of fried. The captain joined Major, appeared a minute later.
Began calling the threat of riot police, FSO, and I imagined the picture as riot police paddy wagon will be shipping in wheelchairs.
But no, it did not come and somehow scared to death, managed to persuade the officers to release a group.
Instead, each received a number of "big city". We all left feeling that there was something extraordinary.
Kutuzov stop - do not cross a field, in a word.
Some of the group, stumbling over every stone curb, got to the final destination.
Even the miracle machine Alexei could not cope with obstacles.
Administration of the "European" allowed to go with a group of only two pictures, so here I said goodbye to the guys and went back home.
Today, I am so close for the first time and was able to see the details of how Moscow is indifferent to those who can not walk on their own feet and had to resort to using wheelchairs. The city in which I live, these people do not need - it is clear. Therefore, by the way, they have to be united and to seek a way out. As an example, in this community in LiveJournal.
Has anything changed in the near future? I do not know, is unlikely. But we should at least talk about it. Thank You "big city" for initiating such action.
