Good morning once again, you are watching
the news on the Navalny LIVE channel
The main story is unfolding right now.
[applause]
We should probably tell you about how today in
Russia, there are
rallies taking place as part of a nationwide campaign
with numerous protests gathering
Russians across the country, despite
the authorities' opposition. And we do not have
the technical ability to continue that feed further.
You know, despite the cold weather, people
in Eastern Siberia, in Zabaykalsky Krai,
and the Trans-Urals have already held rallies today.
Alena, before the rallies, the picture suggests
that the movement is progressing from east to west. Right
now it is 10 a.m. Moscow time, and rallies
have begun in Izhevsk, Orenburg, Biysk, and
the city of Chaikovsky in Perm Krai.
In some Russian cities, an authorized
march has already begun. An hour ago, a truly
heroic rally ended in the city of Yakutsk. There,
concerned residents were not stopped even by
-45°C (-49°F) temperatures. It passed without detentions.
Those gathered peacefully expressed their position.
Someone has just come in here to us now, sorry for the
technical issues, some complaints—
someone is trying in some way to remove us
from here. We continue. Let me remind you that
the first rally took place at 3:30 a.m.
Moscow time in Magadan, which is
in the eastern part of the country. And here we have video.
There is a police officer here in a technical
room, so to speak. We cannot
show him fully. Please show—just, just
for a moment he showed us his ID. We
could not make out what was on it. They are saying
that there is a bomb threat here.
They are being told that they have no right to interfere
with journalists doing their work and going live
on air.
News secto—
As soon as they arrived, they said there was a bomb threat.
Two police officers in uniform are here, forcing people out.
They are using force against our lawyer and twisting his arms.
Right now, even the person who
is staying behind...
Please identify yourself. What is your name?
Show your ID, please. All right, how
should we address you? I understand there is a threat
of an explosion. What is your name? He showed
his ID like this.
All right, your ID—while you are here,
please show your ID. How should we address you?
Tell us. Let's do it here, I will come over there.
...besides that, how should we address you?
We understand, but please show your
IDs first, and then we can proceed further.
What authority do you have here legally?
If it is legitimate, then show it and explain.
They used force and removed [someone] from this room.
The girls who handle the technical side
of the broadcast continue
to hold their position. Will you be able to...
Wait, there is also a smell here, yes, a smell.
It is quite distinctive here, it smells
like some kind of burning or chemicals,
they are opening doors there. I suspect that it was
it was
something like a chainsaw, not very
for long...
The equipment is gradually
That is why you cannot see everything now,
not very clearly, I think.
And police officers are literally at the entrance, as we
were saying an hour ago, they came in here
in this building.
Somehow, simply through...
We are safe. To Elena's husband and her
child, I want to say that she is all right.
She has been without a phone for about an hour, and
basically, do not be alarmed if
one of us is not reachable on messenger for now.
At the moment, our colleagues in Khabarovsk are out of contact, and literally
a second later—police came in.
Apparently now this will be done by force.

We still have information that in Novosibirsk
today there was
