He posted a message about this on his website and social networks.
“Let’s take to the streets on June 12 with our old slogans and under state flags. We have 2 months of preparation. Let's attract even more cities, gather even more people. Wherever you are, whatever city you live in. Even in the smallest. There may be three or four of you, but you will know that next to you are the best three people,” Navalny wrote.
Let us remember that the first wave of Navalny’s actions, in which mainly young people took part, swept across Russia on March 26 and ended with mass unrest in Moscow and St. Petersburg, clashes between demonstrators and the police. However, as sociologists point out, more than half of the country’s population knows nothing about Navalny’s actions. Only 17% of Russians know about the shares.
