Rally on March 10

Here you go. Yesterday's lightning-fast negotiations at the mayor's office yielded the expected result. I have just received official approval for the March 10 Rally on NEW ARBAT.

Participants of the action will gather in a huge pedestrian zone - along the entire length of the street. If it overflows, the roadway will also be blocked (this time, an indication of this is contained directly in the text of the approval).

It turns out that Gorbenko, at a press conference after the events on Pushkinskaya, said this: “The presence of the same applicants in the application for yesterday and March 10 puts us in a certain position in the negotiations, because some of the applicants yesterday publicly called for unrest and violations law. This will be taken into account when agreeing on the next application.”

Terribly interesting.

The applicants in both cases were, in fact, the same: Anastasia Udaltsova, Sergei Davidis, Nadezhda Mityushkina, Dmitry Bykov, Igor Bakirov, Elena Lukyanova and me.
Well, which of us called for what?
Alexander Nikolaevich was completely confused in his testimony.

In general, one way or another, we got New Arbat as we asked for - without any options or alternatives - and that’s what we got.
