The first to be detained on the “wires of the political winter” were three girls with Putin’s scarecrow in Kimono. Therefore, a full -fledged Shrovetide, with the burning of a scarecrow, did not succeed. But several hundred people who came to the Revolution Square at the call of the leader of the “Left Front” Sergei Udaltsov, led a huge round dance, chanting “Five minutes for gatherings, crooks and thieves!”
Putin provocateurs, as well as on the “Big White Circle” shares, which took place in Moscow two hours earlier, appeared on the square in abundance. "He hit me!" - the elderly member of Solidarity Semyon Zon-Zam was indignant, pointing to the guy with a muffled smile. "And here I am for Putin, yes!" - The girl was bewitched for thirteen, hiding behind a more chase girlfriend. The guys-"Nashists" were replaced and pushed out of the crowd, they simply giggled over the girls. Cossacks appeared in the square in the form of omnipotent Cossack troops.
Will you vote again for Yavlinsky? Or for this clown Zhirinovsky? - asked a curly Cossack a woman with a white ribbon.
And Putin, isn't it a clown?
I’ll tell you a secret: they are all clowns, ”the Cossack winked at the woman. - Cossacks - for themselves, for Russia and for Orthodoxy!
When white balloons with the emblem of the voter league began to be distributed in the crowd, the provocateurs took away a large bunch and troopically burst the balls. But they could not prevent the paper flashlight of Aerostat into the sky. "Putin, fly away!" - the participants in the action shouted, following its flight.
The provocateurs were especially activated when Boris Nemtsov appeared on the square. They rushed at him with questions like: "Today is forgiven Sunday, do not want to ask for forgiveness from the whole country?"
After statements by the press, Nemtsov, accompanied by supporters, moved to the theater passage. Almost the entire area followed him - 500 people did not interfere with an unexpectedly organized march, only observing what was happening. The procession stopped suddenly, when Nemtsov, without ceasing to swear with the following on the heels, got into his car and drove away. People were confused for a minute, then moved along the theatrical passage further to the Lubyanka. Then along Ilyinka they went to Red Square. The police were ready for this - from Ilyinka to Red Square was not allowed. “Closed for technical reasons,” the policeman repeated, as the wound, those who guarded the passage from those who came. “For what reasons? There people walk there! " - the tall young man was indignant. “Now the square will be cleaned, and then you will be missed,” the policeman answered. “From whom is it cleaned? From the snow so that it is not white? White color is now prohibited! ” - the arrivals laughed. The old man raised a white balloon so that he turned out to be a policeman’s head, others began to photograph with a laugh. Another guard of order by the sleeve dragged a colleague from the "white -based", telling them severely: "There is no need to make a ball over his head with a police officer!"
The girl in glasses offered to cling to and forcefully break through the police. But people (there are only a few dozen of them left) simply rushed the cordon, passing the other way through the GUM.
On the square there was a scene and the celebration of Shrovetide was held. There were surprisingly many people with white ribbons - not one of those who came to break into the Red. Just today, thanks to the white circle on the garden, white ribbons have become part of the city’s life.
