A list has been published on the website of the Bolotnoye Delo project , the name of which speaks for itself - “risk group”. Here are 86 operational orientations for citizens, which, according to the portal, "investigators may soon be interested in."

For each person, a description of the appearance and illegal, according to the investigation, actions committed on May 6, 2012 on Bolotnaya Square is given. These data are presented in the form of quotations from the protocols of inspection of video recordings by employees of the Investigative Committee (IC): “a citizen in a blue hat on his head hits police officers with a flagpole”, “a man in a purple sweatshirt, bald, standing to the right of a group of police officers throws a piece of asphalt, after which he disappears into the crowd.

Ilya Yashin, a member of the Political Council of the Solidarity movement, told The New Times how these documents came into the possession of the opposition: “Even in the Investigative Committee there are people who perfectly understand the political motivation of the Bolotnaya case, and who do not want new arrests. They shared this information with us solely for humanitarian reasons.”

The investigation into the Bolotnaya case has been extended until mid-October 2013. At the moment, 27 people are involved in it.
