Federal Security Service, hands off the students!

Yesterdays developments at the Journalism Faculty of the Moscow State Lomonosov University mean idiotism which should not be repeated.

The fact that the security services work at the proposed meeting site of [of the President with the students] does not cause problems. The question is, what they do: whether they ensure safety or a nice television picture. Protesting students presented no danger to the head of state, and, judging by the information in the media, what was written on their placards was in line with the law.

These students may be a problem and a headache only for the ruling United Russia election headquarters (their electoral list is topped by the President), rather than for security services. And certainly, this "problem" should not be solved by means of detentions and preventive conversations in the police. I think that any distraction of the Federal Security Service from its main function is bad. It is harmful to the state.
