Several participants in the rally in honor of the anniversary of the October Revolution were detained in St. Petersburg

In St. Petersburg, the police detained six participants in the “Flowers for Aurora” action, timed to coincide with the 102nd anniversary of the October Revolution. This is stated in the group of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in VKontakte.

Communists report that among the detainees is the first secretary of the St. Petersburg City Party Committee, the head of the Communist Party faction in the Legislative Assembly of the city, Olga Khodunova.

"OVD-Info" writes about the detention of eight people. According to the project, the flags of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Left Front served as the reason for the detentions. Mbh Media reports on police demands to remove red flags. As the newspaper notes, those who refuse are put in a paddy wagon.

"Fontantka" reports that the participants of the action during the traditional annual procession were going to lay flowers at the cruiser "Aurora" and hold a meeting with the deputies. City officials this year did not agree on the event.
