Anti-terror for VIP`s
"You bet? So, you owe me a ram!"

The first President of Russia was guarded like the current one yesterday. According to the words of a major from an officer`s security cordon around the Victory Park (Park Pobedy), 30 Custodial Service members took part in this operation.

- Wait a minute, - a man in a beige suit with a headphone in his ear stopped me and our newspaper photographer, and looked at a short (just seven or eight names) list of accredited journalists. – The Evening Kazan is not enlisted. So we did not go to the Park. It was a demand of the Federal Custodial Service.

Yet in a minute it turned out, that this demand stretches on a 30 meters wider area. A tall man in civilian clothes halted three steps wide from us and pointed to the Bondarenko-street with a black suitcase, which content consisted of armored plates, as one could guess:

- Go behind the carriage way, please!

Yet there we also were not left alone. A lieutenant colonel of militia brought another lieutenant colonel and two captains and told us that they would guard us. It is Important for we could try to get to Boris Yeltsins body, to take a picture of him, and to ask some questions.

- I hope you would not scuffle, - he joked with straightforwardness: three officers, who guarded journalists, where well higher then we are.

Inspired with a theme of struggle with terrorists, who chase after VIP`s Boris and Naina Yeltsin, and Mintimer Shaymiyev, we suddenly found a hole in the defense. 15 minutes before the arriving of VIP`s four women, wearing green uniform overalls of The City service of Planting, dragging plastic sacks with garbage, leisurely proceeded to the park through the security cordon.

- Here they are, the terrorists, - a colleague noticed. – Who knows what do they have in their pockets: garbage or explosive gelatin?

The next potential terrorists did not keep us waiting. 10 minutes before arrival of President`s motorcade just opposite its stop (a great position for aimed fire!), a trolley-bus had a break-down. It took five minutes to fix it and no service man tried to hurry him. Everyone guarded the journalists.

Only a woman with a perambulator was asked to go a roundabout way by a watchful policeman. Wight-hared Boris Yeltsin, holding on his wife, left a Mercedes and walked to the eternal flame to lay the flowers on it. He was wearing a black suit, the sun was baking and this several steps after the flight and dinner were not easy for him.

- So, wait for the departure, - summarized our photographer.

- They will not come out, - glad to know this important information, told us one of the guards – a lieutenant colonel of militia. – Will we bet?

- 500 Ruble?

- Why 500 Ruble, I would bet a ram. The President will lay the flowers on the monument of mothers and widows and will leave the park from another side.

The lieutenant colonel was almost right. Yeltsin laid on the flowers, yet he did not go further and the Mercedes was driven into the park.

- So you lost! – the lieutenant colonel beamed after the departure of the VIP motorcade. – You owe me a ram next time.

Eugene AKSENOV.
