On March 26 2017, protests against alleged corruption in the federal Russian government took place simultaneously in many cities across the country. They were triggered by the lack of proper response from the Russian authorities to the published investigative film He Is Not Dimon To You, which has garnered more than 14 million views on YouTube. Protesters used visual and auditory material (such as posters, hinted-on objects, slogans and chanting), which in turn urged the local police and anti-riot forces to intervene in the events. The situation has stabilized around 9:00 PM Moscow time.

Background

In March 2017, Alexei Navalny and his Anti-corruption Foundation launched the campaign "He is Not Dimon to You", accusing Dmitry Medvedev, the prime minister and former president of Russia, of corruption.[8] The authorities both, ignored the report produced by Navalny, and commented that the report was issued by a "convicted criminal" and was not worth commenting on. On March 26, Navalny organized a series of anti-corruption rallies in different cities across Russia. This appeal was responded to by the representatives of 95 of Russian cities, and four cities abroad: London, Prague, Basel and Bonn.[9] In some cities, the rallies were sanctioned by the authorities, but in others, including Saint Petersburg, they were prohibited. Moscow authorities declined the event request by Navalny in the city centre, but did not suggest any alternative location. Navalny referred to a decision of the Constitutional court and declared the event for being permitted[10]. The Moscow police said that 500 people had been detained, but according to the human rights group OVD-Info, 1,030 people were detained in Moscow alone, including Navalny himself.[11][12][13]

Main Department of the Ministry of internal Affairs on its official website posted a message with a call to Moscow residents not to join the event. It said that the action in Moscow is not coordinated with the municipality and is illegal.[14]

Events

Twenty minutes afterthe start of the protests in the center of Moscow, Alexei Navalny was detained by the police and locked inside a patrol vehicle. The protesters identified the vehicle and tried to shake it, but Navalny did not wish to be helped at the time, and urged protesters to continue their peaceful protests in the center of the city even without him.

According to the main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow, the rally was attended by about 7-8 thousand people. However, Anti-corruption Foundation said that the streets in Moscow gathered 25-30 thousand people, with no less than 150 thousand for the whole country.

For several hours from the start of the rally, starting at 2:00 PM local time, people gradually began to gather on Pushkin square. Activists hang campaign material monument in the center of the square and threw laced sneakers on nearby trees and lampposts. Some put up posters depicting ducklings along the Tverskaya Street, referencing key points in Navalny's film.

Soon, the police started making mass arrests of anyone depicting violent behavior (such as shouting, hanging posters and throwing objects). Tverskaya Street and Pushkinskaya Square the whole time until the end of the meeting were on patrol by an unmarked helicopter. Later the police blocked part of the streets, Pushkinskaya Metro station, and underground passages near the protesters[citation needed].

Although the initial protests sought the resignation of the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Navalny's arrest was met with slogans against the Putin regime. Young protesters in Moscow shouted "Putin begone" and "Down with the current government", drawing parallels with previous mass-protests of 2011-13. Active social media websites such as Facebook and VKontake invited users to join the main manifestation in order to march toward the Kremlin.

Aftermath

Volunteers and employees of Newcaster.TV and Anti-corruption Foundation arrested in Moscow

The building where the office of the Fund of struggle against corruption is located was evacuated in connection with the message about the bomb. At this time in the office there was live webcast of the meeting, which was broadcast on the Internet. Soon the staff of the Fund were detained by police, who also began to conduct searches and seizure of equipment.

Some time later, Alexei Navalny was charged with organizing an unlawful meeting. Employee of the Fund and the head of the Moscow branch of the unregistered "Party of progress" Nikolay Lyaskin was detained for 25 days. In relation to Leonid Volkov, the head of the election headquarters of Alexei Navalny, brought the case under extremism.[104]

About 1000 people were detained overall, most of whom were released on Monday. Many detainees were under 25 years of age. This protest is considered by critics of the Russian government to be the biggest since the March 2012 Bolotnaya protests for Moscow, which happened in reaction to Putin's election. Pro-government critics, however, linked Navalny's activities with appealing to the Russian youth, mainly by promoting "rebellious movements" as a way of spending free time.
