“To everyone’s surprise, more than half of those who came to the rally were schoolchildren, college students and first-year university students. Several guys painted their faces green as a sign of support for Alexei Navalny, doused in green, while the companion of one of them limited herself to green lips. Fifteen-year-old schoolchildren Vasya and Gleb came to the protest together, having watched Alexei Navalny’s investigative films on social networks,” the publication describes the Moscow protest
“Young people preferred to stay close to each other - the square was filled with groups of teenagers who sometimes ran away, “shot whitefish” at the adults and again discussed what was happening among themselves,” the newspaper continues. - “Listen, how long has United Russia been in power? “Already 18 years old,” a high school student in tapered sweatpants, who had clearly skipped social studies classes, explained to the others.
“Longer than we’ve been alive,” nodded his brightly made-up friend. At this time, those gathered near the monument began chanting: “Impeachment! Impeachment!". “What’s there about the cops?” - the schoolboy perked up. “No, they demand impeachment. This is when the president is dismissed,” the girl explained. “Wait, why was that possible?” - Her friend was sincerely surprised.
At the same time, Kommersant writes, teenagers tried to take pictures with the police in the background, and some, having heard the word “impeachment,” thought that it referred to the police.
As PolitNavigator reported, Navalny’s supporters in Moscow beat up a riot policeman.
