Residents of Yekaterinburg "hugged" the city pond

In Yekaterinburg, almost two thousand people went to an unusual protest. They, holding hands, "hugged" a pond in the historical center of the city. Six months ago, the Russian Copper Company announced that he would build a “temple-on-water” here and transfer it to the Russian Orthodox Church. The project is approved by the leadership of the city and the governor. The townspeople say that they will defend the only large pond in the center of Yekaterinburg, and not only with the help of "hugs".
