Activists from Moscow disguised themselves as security officials for the sake of a "walk" as part of their own action. According to the latest information, their uncoordinated performance with the participation of 25 people ended in the police department.
As reported by the media, 25 Muscovites went to the Krylatsky Hills area in Moscow, disguised as riot police. Then they went to walk around the word meaningful to them in the snow. According to one of the participants in the process, this did not last long.
- We stood near the word "Freedom" written in the snow. Then we changed clothes, walked back, but the police met us near the buses, - the girl added, her words "Novaya Gazeta".
The participant emphasized that in order to implement their idea, they rented riot police costumes without stripes and identification marks. According to "Dozhd", this did not convince the law enforcement agencies, which took the activists to the police department in the Kuntsevo district. At the same time, nothing is known about the reason for the detention.
Recall that it is illegal for ordinary citizens who are not part of the power structures to wear the uniform of law enforcement officers. This situation became especially acute at the past unauthorized rallies. Now you can get a fine from one to one and a half thousand rubles for fitting a form. The director of the Institute for the Study of Problems of Contemporary Politics even suggested increasing it for wearing a uniform at rallies to 40,000 rubles.
This was facilitated by cases at the rallies when ordinary residents tried to pretend to be security officials. For example, such a story happened in St. Petersburg, when a schoolboy in uniform wanted to stand on a par with the riot police.
