A message to the residents of Nizhny Novgorod, where a meeting with me was supposed to take place today. But they were so afraid of it that this morning I was detained in the entryway of my own apartment building. Friends, please forgive me for not being able to come, but you should still go. What difference does it make whether I’m at the rally or not? Everything is already clear as it is. Come on principle, and as a sign of protest against the stupidity, senility, and degradation that have taken hold of our country. Markin Square, 18:00. If you’re from Nizhny, please help spread the word. #nizhnynovgorod #Navalny2018
