First, the road to the demonstrators was blocked by police officers who demanded that red flags be removed from the column. They were told that such flags are allowed, since there are no inscriptions and symbols on them. As a result, the demonstrators managed to break through the police cordon.

“Veterans asked to convey to everyone that they were not afraid, and, as they once won the Great Patriotic War, today we will achieve victory over inadequacy, radicalism and anger. We will not let anyone rewrite history and rob people of the memory of the Great Victory. A great feat will always live in our hearts and in the history of our country, ”the MP said.
