Dear citizens, please leave the square.
Let me make an announcement, Comrade Major.
They're starting to clear the area.
Let me make an announcement and ask everyone to leave.
Would you like that?
please
just give me this thing here.
Let me hold it. It'll be easier for you that way
more convenient.
Friends,
all of a sudden
at 2:30 in the morning they decided
to bring in a street-cleaning truck and soak everything here.
Okay, no problem. The main thing is not
to give in to provocations. So, we take
all our stuff, step aside, the truck
sprays, then we come back. If they're hosing down
this place, it's not the last square in
Moscow; we'll move somewhere else.
Right?
yes!
Got it. Thank you.
We've agreed with him, he can drive through
like this.
Dude, step back,
because of you, the OMON riot police are going to start hauling people off, fuck,
because of you there's going to be a fight. Why the fuck do we need that,
for fuck's sake, this is Russia. Easy, easy, easy.
Go on then, hit me.
Dear citizens, you are obstructing the passage
of the street-cleaning truck.
Please be so kind as to clear
the square.
Dear citizens, you are obstructing
the passage of the street-cleaning truck. Please,
clear the square.
Look, a provocateur hit Udaltsov.
Leave me alone with your damn radio.
For fuck's sake,
what happened?
What, did they hit Udaltsov over there or
what? Fuck, you see, they're doing it on purpose,
provoking things on purpose so they can bring
the OMON riot police in here.
Seryoga, what was that?
A man ran up, hit my phone,
hit me.
Give it to me, give it to me now. I'll ask that guy for the megaphone.
Let me through.
Let me through.
Why are you touching my camera?
There was a live broadcast.
You bastard.
Where can I see the photos?
An unknown man,
as he was passing by, suddenly turned around and struck
me very hard in the face. I lost
my balance, you can see, as I was falling. I landed on
my hand like this.
There's blood on his ear there.
Yes. See, he drew blood; you can see what's
happening. They caught this person,
and now they've taken him away. We tried to find out
who he was, but they took him off in an unknown
direction.
There he is, with the loudhailer.
Could you hold this for a second while I climb over?
Don't run anywhere, don't chant
anything. Let's move carefully.
What was that?
To the right there's only one boulevard. Beyond that
is the river.
Yeah, we'd better go left. Lyokha, to the right—
somewhere over there to the right
and we'll come out toward Smolenka (the Smolenskaya area), right
Lyonya, find Vera. She lives here. She knows the way.
Look, Seryoga, I know, I can see the route.
Here, look, this is where we're going,
Seryoga, look, look. So right now we're
going like this,
then we turn here and go like this,
and come out onto Red Square via Varvarka Street.
I heard that Alexei Navalny
advised people in the regions to do
the same thing—that is, just walk around
the streets and squares of your cities.
Lyokha, people are writing—it's funny—they're writing: "Alexei, you've invented
a wandering Maidan (reference to Ukraine's protest movement), just don't lead them around for 40
years"
I liked 'wandering Maidan.'
