On October 7, on the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a group of civilian activists blocked the movement on Uprising Street in St. Petersburg. The participants in the action lit the firewood of the flowers of the Russian flag and stretched a banner with the inscription: "Long years of prison." After the action, four were detained: Andrei Graf, Ivan Rubtsov, Vlad Ivanko and Svetlana Utkin. The detainees report that Andrei and Ivan were not participants in the action, but only watched it from the sidewalk.
