Police in Sevastopol cut off a group of young people with red flags and wearing Budenovka headdresses who intended to hold a protest on Thursday evening against the opening of a monument to the reconciliation of participants in the Civil War.
The amusing Bolsheviks, after telephone conversations (obviously, with the leadership of the local cell of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation), abandoned attempts to break through to the ceremony site and limited themselves to taking a photo for the report against the backdrop of the monument, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The opening itself took place with the participation of Presidential Advisor Alexander Medinsky and State Duma Deputy Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy. The celebration was not widely announced, apparently due to the critical attitude of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to the idea of installing a monument. A cordon of military and law enforcement officers was established around the monument at the beginning of the ceremony. Access for everyone to the new monument became possible only after the departure of the VIP guests.
The new monument is located on the opposite shore of Karantinnaya Bay from the Tauride Chersonese Nature Reserve. Especially for the ceremony at sea, two patrol ships of the Black Sea Fleet, a sailboat, as well as the oldest rescue ship of the Navy “Commune”, which was put into operation in Tsarist Russia and still remains in service, having passed, among other things, were put into service. and through the events of the Civil War.
