Thugs from the SERB group [a nationalistic pro-Kremlin group acting in Russia and Ukraine known for their provocations against opposition] have come to our office. They express their indignation for the camera (in the hands of Tarasevich) that we are “advertising an organisation banned by the court” [meaning the Memorial human rights society].

The provocateurs tried to open the glass window of the stand where the poster [with the Memorial logo] is hanging, but they were prevented by the security of the building. After that, they called the police to remove the poster.

The police which arrived offered the provocateurs from SERB to go to the police department to file a statement against Yabloko. The provocateurs demand that the party be fined, since the WeAreMemorial poster does not indicate that the organisation was recognised a foreign agent.
