From the very beginning of the events at Bolotnaya on May 6, 2012, I had associations with a bloody Sunday January 9, 1905. In Bolotnaya Square, also his priest Gapon was his role, Sergey Udaltsov played his role well, and there were unarmed citizens who wished to express their protest. No one shot at them, but a well -prepared provocation was clearly visible. The question is, why for a large crowd to make a tapering corridor of a police cordon, realizing that the back rows would push the front?
