A few rallies of Navalny’s adherents took place across Russia

All actions were not agreed upon. Navalny's supporters say more than 100 people have been detained by police across Russia.
Apparently, the organizers this time decided to focus on St. Petersburg, where the action will begin at 17:00, as well as in Moscow, where about 2 thousand young people have now gathered on Pushkin Square. They shout anti-Putin slogans. The police ask them to disperse.
Navalny himself was arrested for 20 days in early October for repeated calls to participate in uncoordinated actions. Today's rallies coincide with the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who turned 65 years old.
