Tea, not Russian March

In Nizhny Novgorod, at the March of Regions, which local authorities did not allow - or the Russian March - 35 people were detained (some of them specially came from Moscow, including Gennady Stroganov, Pavel Shekhtman, Vera Lavreshina, Maxim, who regularly participate in unauthorized actions Vinyarsky, Maxim Sannikov, Yuri Staroverov). They are charged with violating the rules of holding protests (which involves high fines), as well as the notorious disobedience to the legal demands of police officers (and this already implies administrative arrest for up to 15 days). And the Russian March in Nizhny Novgorod was agreed upon and took place, several hundred people came there.

Later it became known about the beating of several detainees in Nizhny Novgorod OP-2. At least six people were beaten, including a woman, Daria Gladskikh. Vitaly Shkilev was beaten for several hours and persuaded to cooperate, reports ovdinfo.org.

However, there were also arrests at Russian marches in different cities. In Moscow, in Lavrushinsky Lane, about 20 people were detained, walking towards the march from the metro with flags at half-mast, without slogans or shouts, reports ovdinfo.org. Kommersant-FM clarifies that they were wearing SS helmets.

In St. Petersburg, the Russian March was not coordinated with the city authorities. Nationalists, Kasparov.Ru reports, came to the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, where the United Russia rally was taking place, with imperial flags and handed out ribbons with a white-yellow-black tricolor to everyone.

The executive director of the United Civil Front, Olga Kurnosova, and the decoration of the Coordination Council, one of the organizers of the St. Petersburg march, Nikolai Bondarik, were detained. The online publication reports that they first tried to arrest them in the cafe where they were giving an interview, citing the fact that they were swearing loudly, but the administration of the establishment had no complaints. In total, more than 40 people were detained.

There were also arrests in Kazan. 54 participants in the unauthorized march were detained, 20 of them minors.

The largest number of detained participants in the Russian March was in Yekaterinburg - about 90 people (the march was not approved here either).

In Moscow, sanctioned nationalists unsanctionedly attacked anti-fascists and leftists in the metro and brutally beat them. Anti-fascists gathered at the Dostoevskaya metro station to go to their rally, and the nationalists were returning from their rally. The leader of the Moscow branch of the Left Front, Vasily Kuzmin, was thrown onto the rails. Granei.Ru correspondent Dmitry Zykov also got it, he was knocked to the floor and received several blows to the head. As he reports on Twitter, several people have their heads broken. The nationalists chanted “Kill!” The attackers managed to jump onto the arriving train, and the police were unable to detain anyone.
