On a single voting day on the call of Alexei Navalny throughout the country, protests were held against raising the retirement age. Almost everywhere, the authorities banned the rally and launched a campaign of repressions against activists. Hundreds of people were detained on the actions themselves, especially hard - in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. In Moscow, during the "election", the protesters staged a spontaneous procession, chanting anti -Putin slogans.
