The word was taken by Viktor Savelov, the father of the arrested activist Artem Savelov. He said: “I raised the children on the fact that there is a homeland, there is a country, there is a state. Once it was all together. Now - no. My son went to a rally to express his point of view. He was seized ... attributed to him that he was conducting anti -state agitation. And he stuttered so much that he speaks with difficulty ...”. The square supported him with the chanting "Shame!". Viktor Savelov said that there is a video confirming that his son behaved absolutely correctly in relation to the police. When Viktor Savelov finished the performance, the square was chanted "Well done!"

The father of another detainee also performed - Ilya Konstantinov. His son Daniel, one of the organizers of the "Russian march" in 2011, is in a pre -trial detention center for the fifth month. Ilya Konstantinov said: "There has never been such a hostile state in Russia." The area responds - "Putin to the bunks!" Ilya Konstantinov said that the investigation in the case of his son is in violations, and the very matter was falsifiic. "Do not forget, do not forgive" the rally responded.

At the call of Zoe, the light rally expressed solidarity with the arrested members of the Pussy Riot group.

Lawyer Mark Feigin handed over to the participants of the action greetings from his client Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, member of the Pussy Riot group.

At the end of the rally, the coordinator of the "Left Front" Sergei Udaltsov performed. He urged to resume protests at the Investigative Committee on Thursdays from 18 o’clock. The square supported him. The first share of solidarity is scheduled for August 2. Udaltsov said: “They declared war on us ... Putin personally takes revenge on us for the spoiled ineuguration. On September 15, we must answer them and collect a million throughout Russia. It will be an autumn attack on crooks and thieves ... I believe that we will not surrender and will not be combed. We will win!”

The rally adopted a resolution in support of the arrested in the “case on May 6” and demanded that they initiate cases of exceeding official powers by representatives of the authorities.

The action began when more than 1 thousand people gathered in the square. But at that moment, not everyone went through the frames. People continued to approach. There were about 2 thousand people at the “peak” of the shares on the square.

At the rally, funds were raised in support of the prisoners.

... RS correspondents went to the declared place 4 hours before the start of the action to evaluate the situation and see with their own eyes how preparations for the event are taking place.

.. At the entrance to the square, white lattices are prepared with the inscriptions of the "ATC of the Central Administrative District". By 17.00, the passing part has already been blocked by iron fences. On the blocked road, there are police cars, riot police buses, autosaki. Near their cars, gathered in small groups, there are law enforcement officers. A dozen more police buses and a couple of autosaks are visible across the road.

On July 26 Novopushkinsky Square will be held with the metropolitan authorities, a rally under the slogan "There is no repression and police arbitrariness!" Its organizers are demanding the termination of criminal cases against the participants of the opposition’s mass action that passed on May 6.

In the center of the square, everything is as usual: loud slogans are not yet heard, posters are not visible; People just rest.

However, we decided to find out if the participants of the action were not “clogged” among the walking. After interviewing about half the people gathered in the square, RS correspondents found out that they did not even suspect that such an event was planned in this place in this place. The dialogue took place approximately as follows:

- Do you know what will happen here today?

- No, but what? Will there be something?

- Yes. A rally in support of prisoners on May 6.

- What is it at all?!

Young guys to the question "Will you take part in the action?" They answered: "And they will pay the money? If they pay, we are ready to participate! Well, or at least feed if we are."

OMON fighters reported that today nothing is planned in the Novopushkinsky Square except the beer festival.

Others told us that a holiday was planned. How many people will be on it, they themselves still do not know, but it is better not to go to this holiday - "it is not interesting, not for young people."

Recall, in the case of "riots" in Bolotnaya Square, 14 people were detained.
