On March 5, Moscow was in suspense, the city center was scored by riot police, the authorities made formidable warnings, the opposition were afraid of provocations. There were indeed provocators-to-and-offers on Pushkinskaya, but the main events began after the agreed rally, when the call sounded not to diverge. OMON began stripping, the leaders of the protest movement kept the defense in the famous fountain. Events developed rapidly: mass detentions and beating, spontaneous procession, sprayed by the GAZ police ... People adopted their hands, continued the action in the subway, where riot police drove them, there was even the chanting of anti -Putin chants in the subway cars. It became clear that everything was just beginning.
