In Moscow, during an uncoordinated opposition rally “We Demand Answers” ​​on Tverskaya Street. In terms of the number of arrests, the rally thus came close to the “He’s not Dimon for you” protest on March 26, when more than 2,000 people were caught in paddy wagons. However, the differences from the action of almost three months ago were significant. The main ones are covered in the DW report.

Split in the ranks of the opposition

The anti-corruption rally of supporters of opposition politician Alexei Navalny was sanctioned by the authorities and was supposed to take place on June 12 at 14.00 on Academician Sakharov Avenue in Moscow, but at the last moment the plans of the organizers changed. The night before, Navalny announced on his website that due to the inability to reach an agreement with suppliers audio equipment, the meeting will take the form of a peaceful march along Tverskaya Street. According to the politician, the ban on installing sound was issued by the mayor's office, which is a violation of the constitution and humiliation of the opposition.

Some of Navalny's followers and traditionally critical people reacted unexpectedly harshly to his call, saying that he was using people as "cannon fodder" without caring about their safety. So, in particular, on his Facebook page, the director of the Center for Research on Post-Industrial Society, Vladislav Inozemtsev, wrote: “Alexei suggested that citizens take a step that is extremely dangerous for them. I would not advise anyone to succumb to this call.” Those who agreed with this position decided not to give up the idea of ​​a rally against Sakharov and to come there.

Other oppositionists, in particular Chief Editor"Daily Journal" Alexander Ryklin called these plans cowardice and spoilers. “Why are you going there (to Sakharov. - Ed.) will you go? Are you already ready to protest, but it’s scary to go to Tverskaya? Yes, come on! We won’t even notice... Better stay home,” he wrote.

As a result, two opposition rallies took place in Moscow at once. At the same time, the capital celebrated Russia Day magnificently - concerts and the “Times and Epochs” festival, which was a large-scale historical reconstruction, were held at several dozen venues. On June 12 it was dedicated to the victories of Russia.

Total renovation to help the special services

The procession on Tverskaya on June 12 differed from the action on March 26 mainly in that a huge number of construction barriers and equipment appeared on the sidewalks and roadways, obstructing the passage of people. As a result, the plans of Navalny, who proposed, as in March, to walk along Tverskaya Street towards the Kremlin, were violated, and people moved chaotically, both up - towards Mayakovskaya and Belorusskaya, and down, diverging into alleys in the hope of finding an opportunity to go to Tverskaya in a place where there will be no fences or special forces column.

By the beginning of the event, some of the exits from the Tverskaya metro station were closed, and by 15.00 access to the underground passage leading to the metro was open only to the entrance. Citizens were offered to exit the city through the Chekhovskaya station. Among the lost and confused people there were many elderly people who, due to the stuffiness and crowds, did not know how to find their way. The loudspeakers announced that the action had not been approved, and invited those wishing to go to the agreed rally - on Sakharov Square.

Since the rally took place on Russia Day, Navalny invited supporters to paint the Russian tricolor on their faces and take Russian flags with them. There were very few people with symbols on their cheeks, and there were few who carried flags.

As the girl selling the flags told a DW correspondent, there are buyers, but not many. There were very few people with large flags. In particular, near the building of the Izvestia newspaper on Pushkinskaya, two young men with banners gathered a large crowd around them, which from time to time chanted traditional opposition slogans: “Russia without Putin,” “We are the power here.” And when a special forces column tried to separate the crowd, “Shame!”

Detentions on Tverskaya and a “sterile” rally on Sakharov

However, there were some arrests. Alexei Navalny himself was one of the first to be detained - in the entrance of his own house. In accordance with part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (repeated violation by the organizer of a public event of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting. - Ed.), he faces a maximum sanction of 30 days of arrest. On the evening of June 12, he was taken to the Simonovsky District Court.

Context

By 19.00 Moscow time, more than 730 people, according to the human rights media project OVD-Info, were detained among the participants in the procession. They were taken to 39 police departments. Among them are minors, Foreign citizens and journalists. Some, according to OVD-Info, were beaten, in particular, for disobedience to police officers who forbade the use of mobile phones.

Despite the coordination of the action, a detention also took place on Sakharov Avenue - there the main organizer of the action, director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) Roman Rubanov, fell into the hands of the police. According to him, he tried to draw the attention of the police to the fact that people who were not included in the event were performing from the stage, after which he was detained. Otherwise, the meeting at Sakharov passed off calmly. His main topic was the fight against the demolition of Khrushchev buildings in Moscow. During the event, activists collected signatures for the resignation of the Moscow government. The protest ended around 4 p.m., leaving participants with mixed feelings. “The rally against Sakharov turned out to be degenerate,” one of the observers shared on her Facebook.
