In several cities of Ugra, the LDPR party was banned from holding rallies on Russian Flag Day
In Khanty-Mansiysk, Nizhnevartovsk and Nefteyugansk, members of the LDPR party were denied approval for a rally on the day of the Russian flag on August 22. It is reported by Znak.
Officials argued the refusal to approve coronavirus restrictions. In Khanty-Mansiysk, according to the administration, the rally is also hindered by the reconstruction of cable lines in the square where the rally was planned to be held.
The party said that this was a traditional congratulatory, not a protest rally.
