any permit for a rally, the police did not interfere with
their actions (they were using flags, megaphones and drums
and climbed on telephone booths). Sergei Mitrokhin and Kirill
Gontcharov, leader of the Youth YABLOKO, unfolded the Russian
flag and made several steps when they were detained by police.
