Kemerovo 25.03: What can we do in the tragedy of the "Winter cherry"

Tragedy in Kemerovo so shocked the country not only because of the monstrous, not comprehensible mind the circumstances that accompanied the fire. We all spend time in shopping centers: go to the movies on weekends, shopping for the holidays or just to take a look in your spare time. Many of us have children, nephews, brothers and sisters. That's why it's hard not to represent themselves on the spot fire victims, not to worry and not think that you can do in this situation.

Today national mourning declared in Russia. Many regions did not wait for instructions from the leadership of the country and canceled all entertainment events yesterday. The night before, the cities have been mourning the action, most of these people have organized themselves. We can not bring back the victims of a fire or to compensate for this loss. The only concrete help needed in the first days of the tragedy - blood donation, which is now more than enough, and the testimony of eyewitnesses. But still remain things that are under the force of each. We want to encourage all of them who are now painful and difficult.

What can you do:

1. Participate in fundraising

The rush to donate money to victims is understandable: people want to translate their desire to help into something concrete. Raising funds for the victims of the tragedy in Kemerovo already announced "Russian Red Cross". Parliamentary Assistance Fund for victims and families of the victims to be established in the Federation Council, RIA Novosti reported. Viktor Ozerov, the senator suggested that lawmakers list in your daily earnings fund.

Before you transfer funds, consider that about any targeted aid speech does not go yet. Many philanthropists have criticized the idea of ​​opening camp in the first days of the tragedy, because it is not clear what specifically needed by the victims and to collect that money.

2. Do not send money to fraudsters

From the first hours of the tragedy, as is usually the case, the scammers have intensified. They speculate on the emotional desire to help people, so do not give in to the urge to transfer money anywhere.

The project manager Welcome Mail.ru Alexander Babkin told the magazine, "These things" that does not support the fundraising idea to the tragedy in store. Although sincere impulse of people to participate in the collection is understandable, Babkin said:

It is clear that I want all the pain to stifle love, care and humanity. You can do it differently, but not to speculate, opening fees just because "how cool, Now shall find millions." So, what is next? Today, it would be desirable to make it a little easier, so I did not want to cry all the time that someone made good. Can make a good, although help fund "Children's Heart" from Kemerovo to help anyone, but through a proven charitable foundation. This is useful if there is a task to increase the good. Specializing that help hone her by burns or something else, what's the difference? It's some cynicism.

3. Do not spread the news feykovye

We can not force you to ignore the news feeds. Now the Internet is full of stuffing information, provocative statements and the official data, which is also still a lot of controversy. Do not make sweeping conclusions and does not spread the virus information. Not to sow panic and not to support, not to collect gossip and not to speculate - it is something we can really be helpful. At such times one has to take responsibility for the dissemination of information.

4. Do not participate in the debate in the comments to posts

In comments to each post about Kemerovo enough provocateurs, fans irrigate all dirt, inadequate people and a desperate and frustrated people. The situation is tense and prove to someone their case not only pointless, but also harmful. This is not the case when the truth is born in dispute. The best thing you can do - not to participate in these squabbles and gossip.

5. Turn pain into compassion, not hatred

Today Russian national mourning. Such events do not prescribe specific rules of conduct, we have a right to express grief in the way we want it. Someone feels the need to put an avatar on a burning candle, someone come and lay flowers, someone to cry over the news and discuss emotions with loved ones. There are those who continue to behave as usual, and we do not require them to be sad or to condemn them for their joie de vivre.

It happens terrible grief, and everyone wants as quickly as possible to find and punish the perpetrators of the tragedy, to direct their pain and fear of something specific, know that evil will be punished. And it's definitely going to happen. It is important to save humanity and value in terms of mass hysteria and uncontrollable information flow. In that it is not necessary to turn the grief, it's hatred.
