At the moment, 14 people are known to have been detained; all of them were taken to the Tverskaya police station. Five Orthodox activists who obstructed the action, including Dmitry “Enteo” Tsorionov, have already been released from the department, in addition, Anton Drozdov, a bystander, with whom a preventive conversation was held. Two more supporters of the event, Alekseev and Ivan Brazhkin, were taken away by ambulance teams. The first one was beaten while driving past the city hall on an ATV; Alekseev suffered a head injury and a suspected broken finger. Ivan Brazhkin, after the end of the main detentions, was attacked by Orthodox activists and was doused with pepper gas, as a result of which he received a burn.
