Opposition rally in Maryin gathered from 4 to 7 thousand people

The opposition rally in the Maryino area on the southeastern outskirts of the capital, which was under the slogan of the change of power, collected, according to the correspondent of the "faces", 4 thousand people. The project "White counter", however, reports 7100 demonstrators. Earlier, the Moscow City Hall stated that she was ready to coordinate the action of 40 thousand participants.

The event was guarded by a large number of police officers, but there were no incidents during the rally. The promotion was attended by a group of Activists of the NOD, among whom was Maria Katasonova, assistant to the uninterpox deputy Yevgeny Fedorova. Nevertheless, they did not commit power provocations, limiting themselves only to questions to demonstrators. Nodovites found out why the audience went to the rally now if the presidential elections in the country are held only in 2018.

Along with political slogans, participants in the action also stated social. In particular, there were posters in support of education and medicine, stretching in defense of the Friendship Park . The organizers also offered the rally participants the posters "Cave Caves the Kadyrov" and "Interrogate the Turchak." The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is suspected of involvement in the murder of the co -chair of the RPR -Parnas Boris Nemtsov, the Pskov governor Andrei Turchak - in involvement in the attempt on journalist Oleg Kashin.

Some participants in the rally launched the flags of Ukraine and Crimean Tatars.

Among the speakers from the rostrum was the leader of the "democratic choice" Vladimir Milov. He turned to the audience with the question: "Who is the main foreign agent and national traitor?" The demonstrators in chorus replied: "Putin!"

The participants of the event honored the memory of the deceased Nemtsov with a minute of silence.

The most powerful applause caused an audio recording of the appeal of Oleg Navalny, serving a period of three and a half years of the general regime in IK-5 of the Oryol region. “You're holding on there,” said the hostage. “If you have hands, then do nothing with the toad.”

The rally ended with the performance of the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny. He stated that in the current circumstances his plan is to "remain a decent person." "If my friend was killed in the center of Moscow, I must say that Ramzan Kadyrov killed him. Perhaps by order of Putin," Navalny said. He also called Turchak an attack by Kashin.

In their notice, the organizers of the event reported the intention to hold a procession on the Boulevard Ring and a rally on Sakharov Avenue on September 20. However, the head of the capital’s security department, Alexei Mayorov, said that the action can be agreed only in Maryin and only in the form of a rally, but not a march.

The organizers announced the refusal to accept the requirements of officials , but a few days later they expectedly agreed to the conditions of the city hall . "An alternative to a protest rally in Maryin is not a rally in the center, but a rejection of a rally," Navalny said in this regard.
