Two in the afternoon. People are standing on the side of the road. From the "October" to the "Park of Culture" - a dense ring. Cars are buzzing, on some inscriptions: “We are with you”, passengers with white ribbons look out of buses and trolleybuses.
A lot of elderly gathered for the “White Circle” campaign: grandparents, grandfathers with ribbons tied to beards. There are many youth too. They give out the stickers “Putin’s skit” and white ribbons, which are tied everywhere: to hair, to clothes. Children are sitting on their shoulders, baby strollers are standing. I see one wheelchair: in it is a woman with a white chrysanthemum. White umbrellas, white balls, white sheets on the shoulders. Among all the white walks a guy in a black hoodie with a scythe from a foil. On the back is a piece of paper: "I go after crooks and thieves."
Closer to the culture park, I notice people with red hearts "Putin loves everyone." Several gazelles drive up to the RIA Novosti office, the guys with signs are poured from them: “A week before Putin’s victory.” They shout: “You have an unauthorized action!”, “Only Putin, only victory!” At first they try to live up in a parallel ring, then suddenly begin to move towards the “October”.
“This is a provocation,” Vladimir Ryzhkov comments on what is being present at the rally. - We are peaceful people, we are quietly standing, we do not touch anyone. But the provocateur and here is the provocateur, ”indicates the guys passing by with signs.
“Today is forgiven Sunday, stand and pray,” says grandmother with a white rose screeching girls: “Russia is for Putin!”
Nearby they pour tea, I see the inscription "We are for honest elections." Cursing, cookies. A man in a shabby sheepskin coat and a dirty earflame is suitable, pulls his hand to the liver: “I, too, for honest elections, maybe give me a cigarette?”
