The number 17 is a reference to the 1917 revolution. Within the framework of Strategy-17, shares of solidarity with pursued for political reasons, environmental and zoo protection measures, as well as direct action shares are arranged. On March 17, NRO and NRA activists overlapped a garden ring in Moscow, expressing solidarity with the defendants of the Saratov “case of desecration of a concrete slab” , and on April 17 they held a subbotnik in the Kuzminsky forest park. On May 17, Activists of NRA and NRO walked along Novochermushkinskaya Street with smoking fireplaces and a banner with the slogan “They don’t give rights, they take them by force”, thereby blocking the movement along the street in one direction. This action was directed against the expanding practice of political persecution and, in particular, bills tightening the punishment for terrorist and extremist crimes. Timofei Purnkov told the OVD-info details of his detention.
I went to the monthly action, which is held by NRO and NRA organizations. Its purpose was to overlap the road and the demonstration of the slogan "they do not give the right, they take them by force."
From the beginning to the end of this action, everything went successfully. After everyone began to disperse and went into the yards, the police car followed us. Everyone began to scatter. After everyone scattered, the car and the foot employee followed me. I stopped at the first request. They put me in a car where they was well covered with obscenities and tried to intimidate: “I ran, Gandon, we will hang everything to you, you will answer for all”, etc. I tried not to talk to them at all while they took me to the department.
After arriving in the department, I was brought into the room and inspected on top of the bottom, during the detention the phone and the pneumatic pistol of Makarov were seized from me. Then they began to ask me what I forgot in their city and who we are all like that. I said that in general I was there by chance at the invitation of a friend that I was driving, not knowing the purpose of this action, etc. In my opinion Dynamo, they decided that we were just fans who wanted to make noise. They said that I was lying to them and if I do not tell the truth, I will go to the distribution center of some kind of and soon my parents will be taken from there. I answered them that he said everything he wanted.
Then they took me to the room, where I was waiting from nine to half of the first night, while my parents came for me. The next day, they called my mother and said that on Friday they needed to be in their department until ten in the evening.
According to the ATS-INFO, on May 20, Plava did not reach the department.
