No, they weren’t scared, honest people weren’t scared and came to the rally. Despite the rain and the promised hail, despite the searches, intimidation, Putinism, police, riot police, criminality, prosecutorialism, committee rule and lackey lies of all the media, including supposedly democratic ones. Who even now continue to lie that only 10-15 thousand came to the rally.

Nonsense! Many tens, if not hundreds of thousands came: young, old, with sticks, in wheelchairs, with children, with flags, posters, chants and simply ready-made theatrical numbers... It was still possible to walk from Pushkinskaya to Petrovka in about two hours, then the crowd barely crawled to Trubnaya, and further on Rozhdestvensky Boulevard there was simply an impassable traffic jam of many thousands, this is clearly visible in the photographs. What 15 thousand, I think from the police helicopter, which was hovering over the crowd as usual, they counted a completely different figure, but it was apparently already classified. So as not to overshadow today's holiday, who knows what.

However, the holiday was already a failure. I drove through an extinct city, hung with pitiful posters “Today is Russia Day,” and all these miserable events were empty, although, of course, for the evening news they will lie something, it’s a simple matter.
But where the holiday really took place today can be seen here .
