Detachment of special purpose "BASTION" in St. Petersburg
LJ user paaladin writes in his blog: On Sunday, I was taken to the most guarded yard of St. Petersburg, to the base of the special unit “Bastion”. The thing is that a delegation of Chinese comrades arrived in St. Petersburg consisting of the children of the employees of the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China, who died in the line of duty. After the cultural program of the museums and palaces of our city, they went to visit the fraternal ministry to inspect the equipment and weapons used in Russia to protect the rule of law.
I was lucky to be the only photojournalist to attend this event.
