The Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg appointed a hundred hours of compulsory work to the activist of the Time Youth Movement Timur Rasulov for the October campaign "The Altered Constitution" on Senate Square. This was reported in the Telegram channel of the United press service of the city ships.

The report notes that Rasulov repeatedly violated the rules of public actions, meetings, demonstrations, processions or rallies (part 8 of Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). On the Time page on the social network VKontakte , it is reported that after the meeting at the exit from the court, the bailiff brutally detained Rasulov, breaking his hands.

The handcuffs were “put on the young man and left in the building, claiming that he was detained,” activists said. According to them, the human rights activist was not allowed to Rasulov, and everyone who was at the meeting was "put up on the street."

Boris Vishnevsky, deputy of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly from the Yabloko party, wrote in his Telegram channel that they made a protocol on petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) for supposedly cursed. Activists of Time, in turn, reported that Rasulov was released after an hour and a half without drawing up the protocol.

On October 10, Timur Rasulov hung at the entrance to the Constitutional Court building on Senate Square of St. Petersburg a cut in a frame depicting the cover of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The action resembled the sensational performance of the British artist Banksy, whose painting "Girl with a ball" partially self -destroyed at the auction thanks to the Schreder built into Rama.

“The mechanism of the disappearance and violation of the main law of the country was launched by the authorities many years ago, and today there was practically nothing left of our constitution,” explained the “time”. “The stability of the Constitution is the key to the legality of the regime, the stability of the state and legal organization. The Constitution cannot be renewed to please the momentary interests of political groups in power.”

The reason for the action was the article by the chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation Valery Zorkin "The letter and the spirit of the Constitution", in which he noted the shortcomings of the basic law of the country. In his opinion, they can be corrected by making"point changes."
