Most of the participants in the “March against scoundrels” that took place in the center of Moscow dispersed, opposition leaders left the venue of the action. According to Interfax , at the final point of the route, at the intersection of Sakharov Avenue with the Garden Ring, only a few dozen opposition activists remained. From time to time they shout various slogans criticizing the country's leadership and against the law prohibiting US citizens from adopting children from Russia.

The police helicopter continues to fly over the route of the procession along the Boulevard Ring. Police officers use loudspeakers to remind that everyone who took part in the action can go to the metro by folding up their posters. Car traffic along Sakharov Avenue has already been restored, RIA Novosti notes . Traffic along the Boulevard Ring was previously restored.

According to police estimates, the procession that took place on Sunday attracted 9-9.5 thousand participants, with the declared number of up to 20 thousand people. According to various sources from the organizers, the event was attended by 30-50 thousand people, and one of the organizers of the action, Pyotr Tsarkov, told ITAR-TASS about 80 thousand participants. Lenta.ru correspondents counted more than 20 thousand participants at the march.

The “March against Scoundrels” was directed against the ban on the adoption of Russian children by Americans. The procession, coordinated with the authorities, began at 14:00 from Pushkinskaya Square and was generally calm, with no significant incidents or arrests reported during it. The police stopped a number of provocations from activists of pro-Kremlin movements who hung posters along the route of the columns. Also, on Twitter, eyewitnesses reported that a provocateur “in a Pedobir costume,” apparently portraying blogger and oppositionist Rustem Adagamov, accused of pedophilia, was beaten by march participants. In addition, shortly before the start of the march, 9 people were detained in the Strastnoy Boulevard area for coming to the event drunk and using obscene language.

At the end of the route, the organizers installed a large trash can into which everyone could throw out portraits of State Duma deputies who passed the ban on adoption. The organizers distributed these portraits at the beginning of the action. Left Front coordinator Sergei Udaltsov tore up and burned a portrait of Vladimir Putin in front of journalists. This act was condemned on Twitter by another well-known opposition activist, Ilya Yashin. “For some reason, Udaltsov tore up and burned a portrait of Putin. This will be shown on state TV. Stupidity is sometimes worse than provocation,” Yashin wrote. In addition, the coordinator of the Left Front proposed starting an open-ended mass protest in the spring, saying that the protest movement remains in force. Most opposition leaders took part in the “March against scoundrels,” including Boris Nemtsov, Alexei Navalny, Leonid Parfenov and others.
