• In September, officials in Khabarovsk refused to approve a rally in support of Sergei Furgal. One of the applicants of the action was Andrei Dudenok. In addition, Dudenka had previously been arrested and fined due to his participation in rallies.
• Since July 11, in the Khabarovsk Territory and other regions of the country, rallies have been held in support of the arrested ex-governor Sergei Furgal. Until about July 18, the police made almost no attempt to interfere with the protesters, but later law enforcement officers began to detain the protesters. In the overwhelming majority of cases, they were detained after the protests, including on other days, right at home or at work, after which they were taken to police departments and courts, where they were fined or arrested.
• After the dispersal of the rally on October 10, criminal cases were opened against several people: three under the article on the use of violence against a government official (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code) and one under the “Dada” article on repeated violations of the procedure for holding public events (Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code) .
