According to the results of unauthorized protests in 26 cities of Russia on October 7, according to the OVD-Info, at least 290 people were detained. 62 people were detained in St. Petersburg, 57 people in Yaroslavl, 24-in Yekaterinburg, 21-in Krasnodar, 20 in Lipetsk. There are also detainees in Kaliningrad, Moscow, Perm, Pskov, Saransk, Selyatin, Sochi, Stavropol, Tver, Tyumen, Yakutsk. One of the detainees in Krasnodar was already arrested for three days. Everyone was released in Yekaterinburg, Izhevsk, Nizhny Tagil, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Saratov, Tula, Tyumen and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
According to the number of participants, this protest was much less large -scale than similar March and June. Then, in large cities, thousands of disagreements entered the street, and in Moscow tens of thousands, the number of detainees exceeded a thousand people. Now the largest action was held in St. Petersburg (several thousand participants). In Moscow, NT correspondents reported a thousand protesters gathered in Pushkinskaya Square, and several hundred disagreed in the regional capitals.
Nevertheless, the opposition politician Alexei Navalny, who is now serving administrative arrest for calls for unauthorized rallies, considers the results of protest actions on October 7, organized "in haste", positive. In an interview with the correspondent of the Rain television channel, which visited it in a special -reception, Navalny noted that the detention of participants in protest actions clearly make it clear that the current power in the country "continues to tighten the nuts." Navalny explains wide support among young people with the spread of information about promotions mainly via the Internet. In his opinion, young people rally due to the lack of prospects, and the senior audience due to low salaries.
After leaving the special receptionist, the politician, according to him, intends to continue his campaigning campaign before the 2018 presidential election.
The most numerous detentions on October 7 took place during the protest in St. Petersburg E, where riot police, unlike Moscow , where the detentions were single, acted extremely harshly.
And on October 8, the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of St. Petersburg opened a criminal case on the death of a woman, to whom allegedly due to the fact that the protesters were blocked, the ambulance did not have time. Meanwhile, witnesses of the events of the evening of October 7 do not agree with this: in numerous photos it is clear that the fare to the house of the deceased was free. “The protesters were stopped by OMON's numbness, not reaching Nekrasov Street, about which there are many photographs,” writes David Frenkel on his Facebook , who was also detained the day before. - For the cordon, less than 10 people broke through, most of them were detained ... In my photo you can also see the place where the police cordon was installed (it is easy to make sure that it was a corner house from Nekrasov), and the fact that cars were driving behind riot police. In any way, the protesters could not be on the roadway in such a way as to be on a short ambulance route. ”
The police acted very hard in Yakutsk . One of the activists, Vadim Vasiliev, the police beat, broke their nose and knocking out three teeth, said Anatoly Nogovitsyn, coordinator of Navalny’s headquarters in Yakutsk.
The police worked hard in Samara , Tula and Izhevsk .
But Yekaterinburg, indicates Znak.com , became the only city in which the mayor - Evgeny Roizman - went out to the protesters and talked to them. Roizman sympathizes with Navalny, and during the arrival of the opposition Navalny to the city in September fed the pancakes, reminds the portal.
Roizman called the actions of the police, who had detained Viktor Barmin, the coordinator of the Navalny headquarters, “completely excess”. He indicated that people who "were not related to Navalny" came to the action. " A rally in Yekaterinburg, in which up to 2 thousand bangs took part, became one of the most numerous among all shares on October 7.
In Kaliningrad, Oleg Alekseev, an employee of Navalny’s headquarters was detained. Presumably, this happened in the morning, when the activist left his house, OVD-info reports. In addition, a call from the driver from Moscow Yana Kuleshov received a “hot line”, who said that the traffic police stopped his car when he drove along Tverskaya, turning on the audio recording with the voice of Navalny at full volume. The motorist was “rudely stuffed into a car carrier”, and then they offered to him in his own car to come to the police department in the Tver district.
In Rostov , on October 5, the coordinator of the headquarters of Navalny Anastasia Deinek was detained - without explanation. According to representatives of the headquarters in Rostov, employees of the Center for Combating Extremism delivered Anastasia to the Department of Internal Affairs of the Proletarian District. And the GLFV of the headquarters of Navalny in Smolensk was arrested for 8 days.
