I'm reading The New Times while also scrolling through my friends feed. In NT: When armored vehicles were first deployed to the site of the rally, where people were protesting the reopening of the Baikalsk Pulp and Paper Mill, the online community was alarmed: what do you mean—are those machine guns really aimed at us? The answer to that question is yes.
And right away I come across a post by Nemtsov: Yesterday there was a court hearing for the provocateurs who tried to disrupt Saturday's rally in Irkutsk. They turned out to be three Muscovites and one man from St. Petersburg. All of them are employees of Oleg Deripaska's Basic Element security service.
