This humorous picture and calculation of the “Citizen Observer” project, which Konstantin Sonin spoke about, haunts me.
Novaya Gazeta counted 102 thousand people “on the heads” .
RIA-Novosti invited the famous surveyor Nikolai Pomeschenko after Bolotnaya. At 15:30, he recorded 56 thousand at once, “with an underestimation,” but someone left and new people came to take their place.
On Bolotnaya Square, I became an involuntary witness to how the figure of 25 thousand appeared. One responsible police officer asked a prominent social activist: “How much will we give?! It was towards the end, when many left. They agreed on the figure of 25 thousand.
Yesterday, visibly more came on Sakharov Avenue. It's impossible to hide.
And what?
They gave you four thousand.
An obvious misconception of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, all the more unfortunate after thousands of people thanked the police for the second time in a month.
This is how they counted the people at the Rally now, and this is how they will count them at the elections, so don’t relax.
