Ruslan Valiev - at the protests in Bashkortostan

Journalist Ruslan Valiev on the YouTube channel “BILD in Russian” says :

“They continue to be outraged in chats and social networks. They continue to plan protests until the decision on Fail Alsynov somehow changes.

Today (January 17 – Polit.Ru) events developed over several hours and began with clashes with riot police and police literally in the morning. There were a lot of them today, unlike the previous action, which took place the day before yesterday.

And special equipment was used, and even things like tear gas and stun grenades. To my memory, nothing like this has ever been used before either in Bashkiria or, in principle, in Russia.”
