These festivities, which began on the night of May 8 to 9 as the support of the Moscow unlimited action on the Pure Ponds "Okopayabai" , gain strength. If at first it was important for people to just gather, the jokes of white ribbons, and not leave the Isaacievskaya Square, now every day, or rather, in the evening, their creative thought is becoming more and more inventive. They are no longer only thrown with plastic plates and play chess and checkers-improvised rock concerts are held here, university teachers give lectures, one evening was dedicated to the "television" with Moscow. It is the most difficult to spend people on the Isaacieva night, but, for example, Nikolai Yarmishko does it regularly:

- I have been here from the very beginning of the action, for 7 days, at the most difficult time - early morning. In the evening, there are a lot of people, and by the morning there is an outflow: today we are 15 people left at 6 in the morning. It is psychologically difficult, you begin to think about different things - there is life around, and here is such an island with your own laws. I call this an island of justice in the kingdom of lawlessness. Here we can’t swear, there may be a fine for this, you can’t walk on lawns and a lot of things cannot be, which no one is even shy outside this square, ”says Nikolai. He formulates the purpose of this unlimited walk as follows:

- Mass protests in our city gathered thousands of people, and these people have not gone anywhere. Perhaps they simply do not know that there is a protest, or they do not trust him yet. By our stay here, we try to prove to them that they are needed here ...

In the hands of the famous oppositionist Olga Kournosova is a children's drawing, which depicts the Isaac's Cathedral and an unlimited walk in the square. On the reverse side is the text: “To Moscow from St. Petersburg. We also want all the elections to be honest. You are a good city, you have a good Ramt Theater. We are drawn. We don’t know the dog. We don’t know. We are all peaceful. We love our city. White tapes - it means honest elections of the main. Ahead - tulips. Let there be peace and good ones. Zhenya, 3a class " .

On May 16, the so -called Assembly has been taking place in Isaacievsky’s square for the fourth day - an open discussion in which everyone takes part. They discuss not only the fate of the action itself, but also the fate of the Russian protest movement as a whole and Russian politics. The festivities on Isaacievskaya continue.
