In the city of Kemerovo, there is a city council. On that council, there is a deputy — Andrei Alexei Barabash Barabash serves as a deputy from the Party of Crooks and Thieves. At the same time, in addition to being a deputy, he is also the director of the local oil refinery. Some time ago, United Russia member Barabash, driving his Land Cruiser with plate number о933оо42, violated traffic rules (driving into oncoming traffic). He then tried to flee from the traffic police. When the traffic police caught up with him, he started firing back with an "Osa" traumatic pistol. Then he surrendered. The traffic police recorded all of this on video. (UPDATE. THE FIRST VIDEO WAS MADE PRIVATE DUE TO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. Watch the second one — it shows the same thing, just in more detail.)
Question: how did the story end? Answer: of course, with nothing. No criminal case, not even a license suspension. Barabash was elected again as a deputy from United Russia. Question: what would have happened to an ordinary citizen if he had drunkenly run from the cops and fired an "Osa" traumatic pistol? Answer: an ordinary citizen would have been in serious trouble. Question: whose safety is Alexander Nikolaevich Elin protecting?
Answer: Alexander Nikolaevich Elin is protecting the Party of Crooks and Thieves, which is exactly why he will sail through recertification and go from being a model militiaman (pre-2011 Russian police officer) to a model police officer. Update: the full video. From here. The shooting starts at 2:40. The deputy himself can be seen from 12:00.
