Everyone who knows Baronova knows that she’s a good person, but terribly loud and constantly talking. At any meeting where Baronova is present, sooner or later you’ll hear someone say, "Why don’t we throw Baronova out?" Of course, it’s always a rhetorical suggestion, because no one has ever managed to throw Baronova out. I remember that at the May 6 march, I snapped at her and said that if she didn’t stop shrieking immediately, I’d throw her out of the march. She sulked, but of course she didn’t go anywhere.
Right now, Maria Baronova is facing charges of "calling for unrest at Bolotnaya Square" (the site of major anti-government protests in Moscow). In my opinion, even the investigator doesn’t understand what exactly these calls are supposed to consist of. Baronova is under a travel restriction pending the investigation. It all sounds downright absurd, but in fact there is nothing funny about it: Maria’s home has been searched, she is constantly being dragged in for questioning by the Investigative Committee, and Kremlin idiots have been sending "social workers" to her home, threatening to take away her child.
