The organizers of the "anti -crisis march" Vesna ", scheduled for March 1 in Moscow, agreed to transfer it from the Central Tverskaya Street to the Maryino district on the southeastern outskirts of the city. One of the official organizers of the event Leonid Volkov said this on Twitter." Maryino so Maryino is not the worst area, "he wrote.
Thus, the event is agreed .
Earlier, another official organizer of the march, Sergey Davidis, noticed Interfax: "This is a bad place for the action, but we will be able to organize full agitation."
The leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny urged to agree to Maryino on Thursday. At the same time, he noted that in the organizing committee of the event, his position is shared by the minority.
The promotion notification was filed on Monday . The organizers stated the route from the Tver outpost to Manezhnaya Square, and the number indicated 100 thousand people.
However, on Wednesday , officials proposed to transfer the event to the outskirts . Then Davidis commented on the city hall’s response: “It seems to me that the proposal that we received is unacceptable and offensive.”
The next day, the chief of the "Daily Journal" Alexander Ryklin said that the organizing committee did not intend to agree to Maryino and counts on "consultations" with the mayor. “We never rested and did not get into a pose,” Ryklin remarked. “We always agreed to normal routes: we went to Bolshaya Yakimanka and Boulevards, but we never left to the outskirts.”
On Sunday, the police detained agitators in the Moscow metro for march on March 1. For three, protocols were issued under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violations of the procedure for conducting public events). The rest, including Navalny, were released after taking the explanation.

In the evening of the same day, judge Irina Zubova sentenced him to 15 days of administrative arrest under part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (repeated violation of the legislation on rallies). It was expressed that in this way the authorities decided to exclude the participation of Navalny in the march.
