http://youtu.be/BD2N-GbEAJU On the eve of the March 2 march “in defense of children,” Gaudeamus found an interesting ad on one of the forums used to recruit paid crowds. People were being invited, for money, to take part that same day in a “march of the gardening society.” Similar ads had appeared online before, but those were recruiting for a “political project” near Kropotkinskaya metro station.
In fact, it was from Kropotkinskaya that the march “in defense of children” was supposed to start at 2:00 p.m. And the “gardeners” were meeting at Frunzenskaya metro station at 11:00 a.m. Since the two stations are only a stone’s throw apart, I assumed that on that day “gardeners” and “in defense of children” were effectively synonymous terms*. http://gaude.ru/2marta#.UTI1afzKkDU.twitter pj**atak777 s***aid today that he witnessed a noteworthy incident: about 20 women taking part in a pro-Putin rally, outraged that the “foreman” had not paid them for participating, dragged him to the Tverskoye police station and filed a collective fraud complaint there. *http://avmalgin.livejournal.com/3617108.html The Interior Ministry will review the complaint from Muscovites demanding payment for taking part in the rally "Today, a group of citizens came to the Interior Ministry department for Moscow’s Tverskoy district with a statement saying that a certain individual had promised to pay them for participating in one of the events held on Saturday in the city center, but did not hand over the money after the event ended," a spokesperson for the Moscow police press service told RIA Novosti. http://ria.ru/incidents/20130302/925507485.html So I’m very curious where all these organizers of pro-Putin rallies get that much cash.
