On September 9, in Gelendzhik, a changeable single picket was held for the resignation of the head of the city administration. The policeman demanded that one of the picket participants, Irina Zubareva, write an explanatory note. For what purpose the police demanded it is unknown. Two other picket participants refused to write explanations. This is reported by "Caucasian Knot".
“The police personally approached me and demanded to write an explanation why I am standing here. The police officer wrote the explanation. He asked, I answered questions. … I went to the picket out of desperation and to attract the attention of the public, the media and the authorities,” said Irina Zubareva, a picket participant.
