In St. Petersburg, the participants of the march "For honest elections" did not accommodate the square
About 30 thousand people take part in the St. Petersburg march "For Famous Elections", one of the organizers of the event told Interfax - the executive director of the United Civil Front Olga Kurnosova. At the same time, ITAR-TASS, citing the management of information from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg, reports that the rally gathered no more than 3,000 people.
The convoy of the opposition reached the final point of the procession - the stable area. People line up around the scene, but everyone lacks space in the square. According to Fontanka.ru , part of the area (closer to the sink) is closed for passage by a chain from riot police. The organizers three times asked representatives of the power structures to push the cordon so that people could fit.
This was eventually done, but there are still so many participants in the rally that new problems can soon arise. The bulk of people have not yet approached the square, and those who come are encouraging themselves with slogans.
The police do not intervene in what is happening.
