The action in support of Alexei Navalny in Nizhny Novgorod outgrew, in fact, into a protest against the current government. The number of participants in the procession, according to various estimates, totaled from 3 to 10 thousand people. Bolshaya Pokrovskaya for a while turned into a “living tape”, while there were many people on the adjacent streets. Today's action has become perhaps the largest mass event in the recent history of Nizhny Novgorod.
