According to the wife of Sergei Udaltsov Anastasia, the leader of the "Left Front" was placed in a colony in a punishment cell for 10 days. A possible reason for the penalty is an NTV story in which Udaltsov allegedly gave an interview to this TV channel. The formal reason, according to lawyer Violetta Volkova, was that Udaltsov left his workplace for six minutes to go to the toilet. Volkova connects the current penalty with the fact that she filed a petition for Udaltsov's parole.
