Meanwhile, the cause of the riots that occurred on Manezhnaya Square on Saturday was the corruption and inaction of law enforcement agencies, Boris Nemtsov said at the authorized rally.

"We are a multinational country, and such incidents as yesterday create a threat to the unity of the Russian Federation. This is an interethnic conflict, it poses a threat to the collapse of the country," he said.
