Moscow . On Tverskaya, an already unauthorized rally. So far, everything goes calmly and without detention. A few crowd chants: “Freedom to Navalny!”, “Happy Birthday!” And "for honest elections."
Today, in dozens of cities of Russia, rallies and pickets of supporters of oppositionist Alexei Navalny are held with a demand to allow a politician to participate in the presidential election.
The calls to go out on the streets on the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared on Navalny’s blog on October 4 - shortly after the court sent him under the arrest for 20 days for organizing an inconsistent campaign in Nizhny Novgorod. The headquarters of the Federal Staff Leonid Volkov is now in the special receiver.
It is assumed that today the largest (and at the same time, not agreed by the local authorities) rallies will be held on Tverskaya Street in Moscow and on the Marse Field in St. Petersburg. In most other cities, the shares are either agreed or will be held in a bastard (special sites for public events).
The "new" monitors what is happening on the streets and squares of Russian cities.
