Crowd of people

March of Dissent" in St. Petersburg: despite the harsh actions of riot police, the rally is still ongoing. Riot police broke into the thick of it - onto the steps of the former city council, where opposition leaders were speaking - people were simply thrown down. Protesters are beaten and detained en masse. NBP activists are desperately fighting the riot police. Opposition leaders are confidently being “squeezed out” from the steps of the Duma. Deputy of the Legislative Assembly, member of the St. Petersburg "Yabloko" Sergei Gulyaev was arrested.
