In Saratov, there are problems with organizing a rally against the election results, which is scheduled to take place on December 10 near the circus building (the intersection of Kirov Avenue and Chapaev Street). The organizer did not have time to submit an application to the administration and decided to postpone the event, and then completely retired from the corresponding VKontakte group .
However, the idea was picked up by other organizers and at the moment 805 people say that they will definitely participate in the unauthorized rally, and another 1,858 people talk about their possible participation.
I just talked with the leader of the Saratov communists, Olga Alimova , who, following the results of the last elections, received a mandate in the State Duma. She said organizers should have applied 10 days before the event. Since they missed the deadline, the communist assumes that the authorities’ response will be harsh: batons, detentions, stun guns. However, she herself plans to come to the unauthorized rally on December 10 to “see what will happen there.”
