They did not dare to read out the verdict in full today — they have to wait until the Olympics are over.
We stood there for several hours; it was fairly cold. 146 people were detained — the highest number since May 6, 2012. The detentions made no sense at all. Every three or four minutes, they would simply snatch some random person from the crowd and lead them to a police van. It was nothing terrible — if anything, it was a chance to warm up. They will continue reading the verdict on Monday at 10:30. We must be there again, and there must be more of us. Yanukovych’s mafia-like regime fell precisely because enough people in Kyiv were willing to stand patiently outside in the freezing cold for as long as it took. Without fearing arrests and detentions — they cannot detain everyone. Whether such people can be found in Moscow is a question only we ourselves can answer.
