Press Release, 28.05.2014
Moscow Youth YABLOKO conducted a series of one-person pickets against the new arrests in connection with the Bolotnaya Square rally case, searches in the YABLOKO office and the flats of civil activists, toughening the legislation and strengthening the TV propaganda. The action which was held in the style of surrealist Rene Magritte was conducted at Tverskaya Street, Moscow. Chair of Moscow Youth YABLOKO Oleg Naumov was attacked by an unknown man who accused the activists of being spies and wanting “the American scenario”. He also tore the banner.
“We want to attract the attention of the society to the attempts of the authorities to establish a ruling ideology. In connection with the latest events in Ukraine the Russian television started to manipulate public opinion even more. There are no alternative points of view there only the single correct version of the events which is often surreal and denies obvious things,” explained the activists.
