Today I want to share with you a heavy feeling of injustice, and even some helplessness and hopelessness, now after everything that happened in Moscow on May 6, 2012 https://goo.su/jFe0huD people came out to the rally “march of millions” agreed by the Moscow authorities to express their position on the past elections, demanding political reforms, holding early parliamentary and presidential elections.
It was perhaps one of the most significant and large-scale political actions of the opposition forces in modern Russia. The organizers are the most popular opposition politicians Alexei Navalny, Boris Nemtsov, Ilya Yashin and many others.
The authorities of Moscow and other cities have agreed the rally, but in the process of preparation of the event and gathering of participants the police officers used special means of truncheons and tear gas, began harsh detentions and dispersal of protesters as a result only in Moscow detained hundreds of people across the country is more than a thousand, some of them sought medical help with injuries of varying severity.
As a result, instead of a constructive dialog between the authorities and the people, there was another blatant fact of state violence against its own people, intimidation and frightening of people who want to change in the political sphere. It is very sad that neither the Russian authorities, nor any other institutions of power have not tried to build relationships for mutually beneficial political transformations.
