This information was confirmed by Interfax, the official representative of the RF IC Vladimir Markin.

The federal law “On assemblies, rallies, demonstrations, processions and picketing”, which effectively introduced a 24-hour “curfew”, did not leave even the most stony creations indifferent. On Pionerskaya Square, Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov sat skeptically with a poster: “We’re making noise, brother, we’re making noise...”.

State Duma deputy, Socialist-Revolutionary Dmitry Gudkov, who came to St. Petersburg to hold several meetings, reported surveillance by security forces, reports Rosbalt news agency . As Gudkov wrote in his microblog on Twitter, all yesterday in St. Petersburg he and his colleague Ilya Ponomarev were followed by outdoor surveillance. “Hello to the 7th department! Guys, you are on fire. Dark Nine and Skoda. Calm down, no revolutions today,” Gudkov said.

On June 11, Navalny, Nemtsov, Udaltsov, Yashin, Sobchak and other participants in the rallies were searched. They are now awaiting interrogation. I have no reverence for these guys, and I regard many of their actions as senseless and even, at times, provocative. But when mass demonstration flogging begins, I consider it necessary to share some experience and knowledge that, unfortunately, I have. So: There are different types of searches...

TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak said that during a search that took place on Monday, June 11, in her apartment in Moscow, she was robbed, Interfax reports. “At eight in the morning people broke in, didn’t let me get dressed, robbed my apartment, humiliated me,” K. Sobchak said on Twitter. “My annual income is more than 2 million. I have no right to keep money at home if I don’t trust banks?” - she noted. Interfax does not yet have a comment on K. Sobchak’s statements from law enforcement agencies.

On the eve of the “Million Millions”, which the opposition is going to spend on the day of Russia - June 12, PublicPost correspondents interviewed people in the regions that they heard about the “white movement” and how they relate to whitewater. Under the sight of video cameras were ordinary passers -by on the streets of Yekaterinburg, Kolomna, Kachkanara, Kirov, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Kineshma, Barnaul and Khabarovsk.

To the Secretary of the local political council for the city of Bolshoy Kamen of the All-Russian political party "United Russia" Andryukhin A.V. From the acting head of the administration of the urban district of the ZATO Bolshoi Kamen Klyotskin Alexey Viktorovich Dear Alexander Vladimirovich! When I joined the United Russia party, I sincerely believed that I was joining a club of like-minded people whose goal was to improve the life of the common man.

The stupidity of superiors, subordinates and the ruling community as a whole gives rise to exactly the same steps taken a hundred or two hundred years ago as in the era of modernization. This is a feature of Russian management: most often it is not the brain that works, but the tongue in the area of ​​the boss’s pelvis... The law - stupidity - was adopted. The searches - utter stupidity - were carried out... And after that you want a decrease in protest activity?

In Dnepropetrovsk on Monday, June 11, an explosion occurred in a tram, as a result of which several people were injured, eyewitnesses of the incident told an Interfax correspondent. According to them, the explosion occurred in tram number 1, which was traveling along the central avenue. “Someone on the tram threw an explosive package or a saber. The young man and the man received burns on their hands,” said an eyewitness to the incident.

I’ve written all this a hundred and fifty times already, but I’ll repeat it again. The first and most important thing is that this rally was agreed upon. As Alexei Navalny says, “in the most comfortable place for the authorities.” And this is the true truth. Sakharov is a gut, both exits of which are blocked by a regiment of riot police once or twice. This is a mousetrap, even better than the Swamp one. This springboard is not at all suitable for any active actions.

Oh, unfortunately, I will again have to do what I at the same time do not like to do most, and what I am most tired of, since I have to do it all the time. That is, explain what I wrote. Because, no matter how much I beg, no one categorically wants to read what I have written. And they see the topic out of the corner of their eye and immediately begin to comment on something that has nothing to do with what I specifically said. So.

All these arrests and searches on the eve of the 12th are too demonstrative. A sad feeling came that everything was going to hell and there was no way to stop it. Putin acts the way he knows how, the way he has been acting since 1999—to kill everyone, no talking, no negotiations, no explanations. Ordinary citizens don’t really understand anything - what evidence is there, why five people were arrested, why the searches were carried out at the opposition leaders.

Look here, my bunnies. If Navalny, Nemtsov, Yashin and the Typys can somehow still be called professional politicians and active opposition, then Sobchak is by no means. She wasn't there on the 6th, she wasn't going to go tomorrow. She simply expressed her opinion on the situation in different places. By the way, it’s quite seasoned. And she always emphasized that she was for peaceful protest.

The amendments to the law “On rallies and processions” recently adopted by parliament are an attempt to intimidate the protesters, divide them into parts, force the moderate part of the opposition to abandon the protests, and the radical part to become even more radical. Will the authorities succeed in this? I think not! Random people no longer attend rallies; those who can no longer be intimidated take part in protests. These “caring” people believe in their ideals.

On Saturday, July 8, I had to close the Occupy Arbat mock camp. And, perhaps, it’s time to sum up the results of my protest month that has already passed. I won't talk about how heavy or intense it was, it just was, that's all. I had no intention of going to Bolotnaya Square on May 6th. I knew that they had plans to stay in the square, but I didn’t want that. But when, 2 days before the rally, participants from other cities began to be harassed, detained and closed, I realized that I had to go!
