There were many questions about Oleg’s remote address at yesterday’s rally—whether it was legal and what consequences he might face for it.
It was all completely legal: he is allowed to call me from time to time, so the conversation can be recorded.
What will happen to him because of this, I don’t know. There will probably be some consequences, given that over the past six months he has already received three disciplinary penalties and time in SHIZO (a Russian punishment cell), but he decided himself that he absolutely had to send a short message to those gathered from Penal Colony No. 5.
Reports on how yesterday’s rally unfolded can be found at Novaya Gazeta and RBC. Dozhd has a live blog you can read.
