Biography of Daria Navalny

Now the Classenza has started accounts in social networks and the video blog "Voice of my generation". She decided to explore the mood of youth, having interviewed her peers. Daria agreed to give an interview to the Russian BBC service by e-mail. This material contains content provided by Google YouTube.

The content from YouTube is completed by the BBC: why did you decide to conduct a study of young people? And why exactly in the format of video blog? Daria Navalny: newspapers, political scientists and experts discuss why the youth suddenly rushed into politics.

And I am also interested in it. Moreover, expert articles do not look very convincing. In the format of video blog, there is, let’s say, a media part of the study. I make the so -called deep interviews, I try, as far as possible, to make them according to the rules of sociology. I would like to share the results with the general public, but the written format will not interest a large number of people, so I decided to make a video blog.

BBC: Who are your favorite video bloggers? It is clear about Yuri Dudia, you chose a format similar to him, and also? Now I’m looking, for example, Danil’s transverse, but in general I just can’t spend as much time on YouTube as I would like. Therefore, I watch bloggers less, mainly music clips and trailers. BBC: How often will the video be released and how many of them will they?

Will there be another format after the completion of this project? In total, ten interviews are planned. I can’t say that I have a further clear plan. Initially, I planned to use this project as a bonus for entering the university. Now everyone around is starting to talk about some new projects for the channel. However, my priority is definitely not popular, but admission to a good university.

Perhaps if I understand that I am ready and I have free time to continue, I will lead the channel. BBC: How are you going to maintain the objectivity of the study, because you probably have already formed views? The study involves a look from above, otherwise the researcher will not find any truth, but only confirm his own beliefs. Here, for example, she certainly has formed political views, however, she conducts very high -quality research.

And in general, every smart person has his own views, but it is not at all necessary to try to convince someone, especially in my case. I just follow the protocol that the sociologist should adhere to. BBC: Actually, about your beliefs. How can you describe your political views? How important are the political views of your friends for you? Can you be friends with someone who is not worried about the topic of corruption in Russia or who considers the norm to vote for Putin?

In some aspects, they will differ, but in general, of course, we adhere to the same positions. Almost all of my friends adhere to the same political views, but for me this is not so important. From early childhood, all my friends know that I have opposition views, but walking around the school and yelling “Putin on a stake! I know several guys whose parents support Putin, but this is solely because of work, and the children themselves rather support my father.

My best friend did not know who was the bulk and what he was doing. I have an agreement with my parents, that I could go to rallies where they can delay no more than one naval. “I am not going to, sitting in a car recreation center, spending time to find out what kind of car you are sitting in the wrong way, I love the rallies and I would love to go with pleasure, I just don’t want to create unnecessary problems.

Anyone with the name Navalny, I will simply distract my father from his work. And the first arrests and the first criminal cases of Alexei Navalny? You then understood how serious everything is - that the father can go to the verdict and return only after a few years? How did you all experience it? Then I didn’t really understand what was happening, but that day several of my teachers came up to me and said that they support us, and so that I would not worry.

Of course, since then I have matured and understood what dad is doing. I know that he is doing a good job. He, like no one else, loves our country and is ready for anything to develop Russia. I remember all the searches, arrests, because I grew up in this. Of course, often I wake up with the thought that he can go out today and he will be taken for several years.Sometimes in my head I lose the scenario of what I will do if they suddenly take it under arrest and dad and mom.

When I was small, I thought - how cool it is when your parents are famous actors or singers. Now I think how cool it is when your parents are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.

BBC: I remember the post on Instagram with your father, where he wrote, how he teaches you to find the "outdoor". This is not a joke? For our family, this is a little strange, but very fun entertainment. This is not as shown in films: you are walking along the street, and agents follow you, and you can never see them, because they are so good in your profession.

BBC: Do you have to argue about politics in ordinary life? If someone is near, who does not know your last name, begins to praise Putin or scold Navalny, getting involved in a dispute? It was in a biology lesson, just at that time of rallies on March 26, when teachers told the children not to go to protests. My biology was no exception. We filled our laboratory notebooks, and suddenly she began to talk about the harm of these very rallies.

Of course, I was embarrassed, but said nothing. At some point, she issued: "In general, this Navalny is still liable." I am not a very conflict, but I already began to be annoyed, because it is indecent - to talk about my father in my presence. All my friends, realizing what was happening, began to laugh softly. The teacher asked why everyone was laughing, because she did not say anything ridiculous.

Then my teacher said what the whole class, including me, just began to laugh at the top of her voice: "Yes? And I thought you were just namesakes." Since then, she has not loved me and always tried to fill up on questions, but I love biology, so she did not succeed. Before the election of Alexei Navalny, the BBC was not allowed: probably, the uncle sat, dad will find out on the streets and Vinty at rallies, the search was carried out in your room and you should have a great change in you-compared to other adolescents.

What do you think is what your life is different from the life of other schoolchildren? More attention to me. I cannot do certain things that my friends can afford. For example, my parents did not allow me to lead social networks at all. And then - social networks under their name. Someone can calmly hang out, and I have to report my location. The members of our family are constantly surveillance, and who knows what's on the mind of these people.

In the first weeks after moving to a new school, I noticed that some people are simply afraid to communicate with me, but soon it passed. I have always been very sociable, cheerful and calm, and people around quickly notice that I was not turned on politics a girl. BBC: back to the blog. Who removes you, who mounts? Are these Navalny Live resources? Dear production?

Who pays for it? As a result, now I agreed with FBK installers that they help me, and I pay for their work separately. Money, of course, gives me my parents. I explained to them the meaning of the project, they decided that this is a useful idea from the point of view of my entering the university and in general my development, so they agreed to finance. BBC: Your father is fighting with non-core in the power and talks a lot about how the children of officials at the expense of fathers receive posts or earn.

Given this, it seems to you, is it ethical that he promotes your blog on his own page? My father is not an official. Taxpayers do not use money. He pays all the costs of the project from his pocket.
