I reached the scene of events when the assault had already ended and the squatters had been taken to their departments. Near the broken door, a lone activist confronted the guards.
Workers slowly dismantled the bars on the window.

The situation on the territory of the Warsaw Station is ambiguous. The young people who seized the second warehouse wanted to draw attention to the problem of demolition of architectural monuments. But the methods by which they acted are outside the legal framework and questionable from a moral point of view. 
The planned demolitions of buildings here began in November and took place on territory belonging to LenSpetsSMU. The second warehouse (which had protected status until 2007) belongs to the Adamant company. No demolition work was planned. Activists, concerned about the fate of the building, decided to take radical measures and seized it. 
A cultural center was organized inside, and an exhibition of photographs of destroyed architectural monuments was opened. Later, the skating rink is flooded. To ensure power supply, a cable was illegally laid from the Russian Railways networks, which was cut off several times by security officers. The Jolly Roger is on the flagpole. 
Of course, the owner of the building was unhappy with this development of events. However, the police were not involved in resolving the conflict, hoping to resolve the conflict without their help. The squatters did not engage in dialogue and had no intention of leaving the building. 
They demanded to provide documents confirming the rights of the owner, without motivating this in any way. After the last cable cut, there was no power supply in the squat. The 4th of February has arrived. 
In the evening, during a conversation, a private security company employee was threatened with a traumatic pistol. The police were called. The activists again refused to vacate the premises and did not make contact. Riot police arrived to help the police. 
They were given 3 minutes to leave the building, after which riot police began to break down the bars covering the window and door. During the assault, both police officers and activists were injured. They used improvised means against the riot police, including a crowbar. The detainees were taken to the police station. 
Human rights activists got involved in what was happening - they organized support for the detainees and brought packages. They called an ambulance for one of the victims and tried to establish contact with the activists. With their help, the minor participant in the events was released with his parents, as well as the girl - on bail. 
Meanwhile, in the warehouse, workers continued to open the premises. They knocked the lock off the gate, opened it and threw one of the gates onto the floor. The explanation is simple - it is necessary to exclude the possibility of recapturing the building. 
The activists can be understood - after the story of Rogov’s house, which ended in unauthorized demolition, it is difficult to trust developers. However, it is difficult to assert rights while breaking the law.
