The meeting of “angry” citizens, despite the nervous atmosphere in the authorities and short-term rains, passed without incident. The residents who came (at different times their number ranged from 80 to 350 people), mostly representatives of various initiative groups, were able to once again state the problems of Miass and call on the authorities to finally start working.

The traditional cultural event “Night in the Metro” will take place at the Kropotkinskaya station of the Moscow metro on the night of May 19, the press service of the capital’s culture department told Interfax on Saturday, May 12. “This year the action will be held for the third time and will be timed to coincide with the 77th anniversary of the capital’s subway, celebrated on May 15,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

Here I wrote about the strange behavior of the authorities after the purges and destruction: http://publicpost.ru/blog/id/10162/ Now, it seems, it’s clear why: to show something like this in government-controlled media: http://www.1tv.ru/news/social/206731 I’ll pull out a quote I particularly liked: “And look how they, for example, treat the boulevard? They trampled all the tulips. They sleep on this grass both day and night, they defecate wherever they want and how they want.

Former Interior Ministry employee Igor Potokin will appear in court in Belgorod - according to investigators, he provoked a mass brawl and killed a person in it.

Today I read the so-called charter of the opposition camp on Chistye Prudy . I experienced an unpleasant sensation. All points are completely prohibitive. Especially in the section regarding interaction with the police and authorities. Do not use, do not use, do not shout, etc. Treat the police with respect. Characters in red bands keep order. Not having time to defeat the police state, people built their own small opposition concentration camp.

Mikhail Prokhorov recently wrote a post about his attitude to past protests (link to public). In the post, irritation and annoyance are felt. Apparently, Mikhail Prokhorov repeatedly pulled the oppositions of all stripes during all past shares, urging to join themselves. I think he has repeatedly heard words like “You must decide on which side of the barricades you are, with us or with them.” Prokhorov took a wait -and -see position during protest performances.

Alexander Drozdenko, who was confirmed as governor of the Leningrad region on Saturday, considers the issue of uniting the region with St. Petersburg to be complex and requiring careful consideration. “Me and the members of my team have never considered the Leningrad region as the patrimony of the government of the Leningrad region. But the issue of unification has both disadvantages and advantages. And you just need to sit down and carefully calculate,” Drozdenko told reporters.

The events of May 6 on Bolotnaya Square came as an extremely unpleasant surprise for the Kremlin. On this day, tens of thousands of people came to the march, and it became clear that the public had managed to overcome apathy after the “confident victory” of the “national leader” in the 1st round, which means that there is certainly no point in expecting a decline in protest sentiments in society.

Hi all! Recently, I have acquired a large number of volunteer “advisers” who know exactly what I urgently need to do, what to talk about, where to go and what to participate in. Interestingly, they are even more aware of what I am doing at the moment than I am. I thank them all in advance, but I make decisions in any situation myself and act based on considerations of practical expediency, and not emotions.

In the evening newscast on May 11, Channel One showed a story about the opposition camp on Chistye Prudy. The story, in particular, contains a detailed commentary from Chistoprudny Boulevard resident Nina Toporova. A pensioner complains that the oppositionists have “trampled all the tulips” and “defecate wherever they want and how they want.” In addition, Toporova calls for her rights to be respected and to be rid of annoying oppositionists.

I was now riding the subway to work and the feeling of anxiety did not go away. I don’t even know for what reason. Either for the people driving nearby and not knowing what is really happening in the country. Either for the guys in the camp on Chistye Prudy, because increasingly voices are heard from various sources that our cozy boulevard will be dispersed.
