The Pervomaiskaya "Monstand" in Novosibirsk in 2015 turned into a spontaneous procession. The city authorities refused to coordinate the action in the city center, and when the audience tried to join the column of the Yabloko party, the police blocked the road to them. As a result, the monsters were walking in the direction opposite to the center, and then in small groups they reached the building of the city administration and demanded a meeting with the mayor. The mayor of Anatoly Lokot ignored these requirements, after which the monsters parted.

During the action, the police did not detain anyone, but after its completion, the organizer of the procession Artem Loskutov got into the department. They decided to draw up an administrative protocol for the organization of an inconsistent event and the disobedience of the police.

On the slogans of “monstration”, traditionally absurd, the public mood of the last months clearly affected. Participants in the action recalled the scandal with the Tangaiser and made the main slogan “Lord forgive”. Among other banners - “stop offending”, “Empire of Evil. The empire is very evil ”,“ Thanks to God for Darwin ”,“ We ​​are against same -sex crayfish and black huts ”.
