As a private museum in Sevastopol, hastened to declare himself the winner of the RWIO competition
Previously, "IN" has already written about the strangeness in the activities of the Military Historical Society. Next in turn is a new embarrassment, in which, in unison, the RVIO and the private institution “35-I coastal battery” of Sevastopol are intertwined.
The essence of the matter is as follows. November 8 last year, RVIO announced the start of an all-Russian competition for the best regional militaryhistorical Museum dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad. Read about the contest here: https://rvio.histrf.ru/activities/projects/item-4246.
According to the regulations, ONLY MUSEUMS could apply, but in some miraculous way the RVIO accepted an application for participation from the Sevastopol “35 Battery” without noticing that ChUSMIMK (this is the legal form of the institution) is not a museum. This is the first oddity in history.
The second oddity is the principle of voting. Imagine if in a presidential election citizens could vote every day once a week! Well this is what a field for frauds and carousels would open! It was on this principle that the voting for the museum in the RWIO competition was built.
In official terms, this principle of voting casts doubt on the representativeness of its results.
Well, the third oddity - periodically "not working" vote. For example, on January 30 we could not vote for the museum on the Kursk Bulge because the buttons with the inscription "vote" simply disappeared. We received the following answer to our request to the RVIO about the reasons for such a conflict:
We realized that the organizers call this a “minor malfunction.”
This is how the campaign looked on the RVIO website. And on the Sevastopol resources, extensive work was carried out on calls to vote for the “35 battery”. The case was set so widely that even in the local Vesti, stories about the battery team and their invaluable contribution began to appear. It should be noted that such advertisements for the tone of the narrative are usually removed on a commercial basis, in other words, by order of the advertiser.
And, surprisingly, of the 50 museums, the private institution “35-I coastal battery” got the most votes. Imagine ?!
On the night of February 1, the voting ended and the “leader” turned out to have 16957 votes, that is, the participant showed the maximum result at the finish.
And then began the extravaganza! Practically to the music of “We are the champions”, the director of the “35-I battery”, the legendary V. Volodin, from a bird's eye view, tiredly and condescendingly stated: “This means that until today we have worked well. We see that we have the potential. And now we need to think about how the museum will develop tomorrow, since we are so respected. ”It is an Oscar-winner, isn't it ?! “Thanks to my parents, thanks to the fans, thanks to God ...”
The media, echoing the legendary chummkovets Volodin, created the background to the victorious fanfare:
Unfortunately, these resources have already deleted these news from the site, but, as they say on the network, the cache remembers everything!
And then came 2 February, the day of the announcement of the results on the RVIO website. In the evening, an order appeared on the resource, in which the winners were called:
As the attentive reader sees, the order does not include the word "winners" of the institution associated with the 35-I Coastal Battery. But how so? After all, this institution won the most votes - as many as 16957 votes and not a voice less! But we guessed what the secret of such a collapse is.
A bad end was laid by the Chusmika employees when they began a campaign to scale up votes for themselves. Apparently, they did not very carefully read the position of the competition, in which it was clearly written:
The most important word here is “carefully”, which should be interpreted in the sense that the RWIO, for all its carelessness in work, will not be substituted and receive a vote wrap, and most importantly it will not award money places to institutions that are not registered in accordance with with the laws of the Russian Federation museums. This is not a German machine for you to stick to the monument, it can already be interpreted as financial fraud.
What is the result? As a result, so that the “leaders of the vote” were not offended, the “35 coastal battery” received two letters, one of which, which is very symbolic, for “loyalty to the topic”.
In the light of previously conducted investigations into this institution, which illegally buries human remains on its territory and does many shocking things, the phrase “loyalty to the topic” can be interpreted as loyalty to the theme of the Ukrainian approach to activity - deception, falsification, fraud.
