Teachings of the Moscow riot police: the dispersal of unauthorized rallies
December 15 on the basis of the Moscow riot police passed regular exercises. This time, special attention was paid to the dispersal of unauthorized rallies. Riot policemen showed what 11 of December should have shown on Manezhnaya Square. That was how they were supposed to disperse the crowd that had gathered that day, but none of the leaders took the responsibility to apply tough measures. The order to disperse an unsanctioned rally using riot police was to be given either by the head of the Moscow police department Kolokoltsev or his deputies, but instead of a hard dispersal with the demonstrators that day they preferred to agree.

At the beginning, police officers come to them and explain to the megaphone that their actions are illegal, that they will be brought to justice, and ask them to disperse.
