This is an abbreviated account of the lecture given by the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, at the Legal Forum in St. Petersburg. The meaning and context are fully preserved, but some parts of the speech may have been edited or altered. Bastrykin’s poem, which he read at the forum, is presented in full.
Lecture first
Online gaming is a very insidious way to recruit teenagers to carry out vandalism and terrorist attacks. The conscript’s task is to present the fire of the military registration and enlistment office as participation in a fascinating game in reality.
We proposed lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 12 years, but they did not agree with us. On the one hand, children are stupid, but on the other hand, they grow up much faster than us, and at the age of 12-13 they commit crimes, but they get away with it.
It is necessary to lower the age of criminal responsibility for drug sellers – they are the main evil. Impose criminal liability on parents for their children’s crimes – and let them answer to the fullest. I have repeatedly called for the return of the death penalty, and no one has supported me – humanity knows no bounds. I need to clone.
Previously, there were October Warriors, Pioneers, and Komsomol. Remember? Now what? . Where do they go first? It is necessary to restore the Oktoberians, pioneers and Komsomol – under different names. He does nothing, just receives grants. If there are colleagues from Rosmolodezh in the room, do not be upset, comrades: your work is of no use.
Participants in the military special forces need to be appointed deputy directors for educational work in schools, and “talks about important matters” must be replaced with lessons in courage – and the military must be invited there.
And now the poems
- I want to return to the Union
- Where I was born
- After being freed from deception and heavy burden,
- Freed from dreams.
- From all freedoms and mortgages,
- From rising prices and inflation
- From the words of long rivers,
- Installation scam.
- From the central bank with a key
- An ever-increasing rate,
- It’s like a sneaky battle
- With increasing moaning.
- I want to go back to the old world
- Where is the brotherhood between all nations?
- Wealth is not an idol there
- Not the amount of income.
- But there is always trust
- That future is ours
- It always depends on the work
- Tomorrow will be more beautiful.
- Only honest joint work,
- Both equality and brotherhood
- They will bring happiness to people
- And our state
- The power of goodness will return to us,
- Believe in justice again
- And again the October winds
- Return stubbornness
- To those who love injustice
- To deceive and steal
- Do not stand in front of the machine in the workshop,
- Hardworking fool.
- And the newly awakened people
- will return to the highest power,
- It will decorate the sky again
- It is not a sign of gaining emotion,
- And the stars of that country’s coat of arms,
- We are not alone.
- We were all born into it
- This is our strength.
