Hi.
As Channel One (Russia’s main state TV channel) likes to say in cases like this: once again, nobody showed up.
This is Vladivostok:
This is Khabarovsk:
Judging by the livestreams, there’s both a march and a rally here. Well over a thousand people.
In Vladivostok, the rally was held on the basis of a Constitutional Court ruling, meaning it was what the authorities call “unauthorized.”
Well, they detained 20 people — as many as could fit into the single police PAZ bus.
Interestingly, Dmitry Medvedev was among those detained as well:
Everyone who was detained is fine. As I promised, we’ll take every single detention all the way to the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights). Just one request to those detained: don’t forget to fill out the paperwork. Otherwise, the police do what they always do — hold you for an hour and then let you go just like that.
As I said: you can’t detain thousands of people, so everyone else in Vladivostok is carrying out our anti-corruption protest without interference. #DimonWillAnswer
All in all, the Russian Far East did great — awesome.
At this point, Siberia is picking up the baton.
Right now in Barnaul:
There are livestreams all day today on Navalny.live:
Be sure to come out in your city. Moscow: 2:00 p.m., anywhere on Tverskaya Street.
