On May 31, a group of young poets went to Triumfalnaya to protest against Putin's government. At that time, supporters of Novorossiya, led by Eduard Limonov, were rallying on the square.Poetry readings at the Mayakovsky monument are a glorious page in the history of the liberation movement in the USSR. In 2009, the tradition was revived by the Other Russia member Matvey Krylov (Dmitry Putenikhin) - poetry readings were held on the last Sunday of the month in support of Strategy-31.
