The Kirov administration refused to approve the rally and procession dedicated to the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation on August 22. This was announced by the event organizer Vadim Ananyin. A copy of the authorities' notice is at the disposal of the editors.
OVD-InfoOfficials justified their decision by the fact that in the places of the declared route of the procession and rally there are educational, medical and sports organizations, and holding rallies near these institutions, as stated in the answer, is contrary.
According to the regional law and the resolution of the city administration, the authorities did not offer alternative sites for holding the action. Ananyin appealed the administration's refusal in court.
