On the Internet, they are trying to count the audience at Sakharov. "New newspaper" is the figure 102 thousand
The attitude of Internet users to the calculations carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is well reflected in the collage “The calculator of the Municipal Department of Internal Affairs” which is widely distributed on the Web. Two meetings were filmed from similar angles on it - the rally "For Fair Elections" and the action against the corruption of the Nashi movement. Moreover, the last photo of people is much smaller, the Interior Ministry reported on 50 thousand "Nashiists", who came to scold bribe takers.
The most common way was to publish ratings that referred to people at metal detectors. Through them passed wishing to take part in the rally. The number of 80 thousand was named by the observers. The publication "Moscow news"reports that conducted a survey of police officers who counted 60 thousand stopped counting.
People of the Novaya Gazeta were also exposed to metal detectors. According to the publication, which was announced in a blog, more than 102 thousand people attended the rally. However, not all metal detectors were counted, and only from 13 to 16 hours. Also, people who left the avenue and those who were behind the line of metal detectors were not counted. "Calculated, the average number of people passing through one central frame and one side during the observation. Calculated the arithmetic average, multiplied by the total number of frames and eventually got the result - 102486 people," - describes its calculation method "Novaya Gazeta". “The figure that was voiced by the State Ministry of Internal Affairs - 29 thousand people - is nothing more than“ Surkov propaganda. ”It is impossible for 100 thousand people to say:“ You didn’t stand there! ”Thinks Novaya.
Another method of calculation was proposed by the user politrash-ru. Taking the photo from the rally of the best quality, which was made in 14: 20, he "polls" counted the participants. The result was "7 thousand people with coverage of almost half of the territory of the event. Given the various amendments related to density in late hours, etc., on the avenue more than 30 thousand people at a specific point in time will not work. Most likely this peak figure was approximately 20-25 thousand. "
RIA Novosti offered another “beautiful” method of counting. With a maximum density of people in 35, people on 10 square meters on Sakharov Avenue can fit 96 thousand, and with an average 36 thousand people.
