The detention began a few minutes later. The police acted extremely harshly: activists were dragged by the hair and by the ears, beaten their feet. Among the detainees were two minors, who were taken from the police by parents. Three journalists - Maria Reshetnikov, Alexander Sotnik and Dmitry Melekhin - were released without drawing up protocols.
The action was directed against the law on criminal liability for violation of the rules of registration. “We, the fellow citizens, are not even returning to the scoop - but directly during the time of Nikolaevschina,” the activists say. “Putin actually canceles Alexander II's reforms. Zemstvo and judicial reforms are already canceled, since we no longer have neither independent local self -government, nor an independent court. Now, the“ modernized ”form is introduced again.
The new law will hit both homeowners and tenants, the organizers of the action believes. "We do not intend to put up with a violation of our rights. We are power here, not Putin. And the ambulance will prove this," the appeal says.

It is also planned to include an article on punishment for living in an apartment without registration in the Code of Administrative Offenses. The fine will be up to 5 thousand rubles in the country and up to 7 thousand in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
During the consideration of the bill, activists of the Civil Initiative "Rensineme.net" conducted a series of single pickets against the adoption of this document at the entrance to the State Duma. The main slogan of the action was: "Freedom of movement? No, I did not hear."
On February 18, the collection of signatures began under the demand for the State Duma to remove the law from consideration. About 48 thousand signatures have already been collected.
