Five years ago I organized a few picket lines in front of the embassy of Belarus in Moscow, where I lived. I remember this complex procedure of matching a simple picket of five men from the Russian Prefecture: personally offer in a statement, and in the correct format, but then take away pryyazhzhay Written as a response. I remember how on the eve of one of the actions I and a friend summoned a high official of the district and asked for half an hour, what kind of intelligence pays us money for the organization of the shares. In our ideynasts official refuses to believe.

«If the stars are lit, it means the world to behind the scenes, "says a modern Russian mentality:)

And God forbid, do not meet the requirements and come out to stand with the flag is simply this: for standing in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong subject in the hands of a fine and, even less pleasant, a few hours at a police station.

What was my surprise from what seems to be in London prior approval is required only for march or for any demonstrations in the area around the Parliament, whose boundaries Embassy of Belarus is not included. That is a small picket if they are not held in the heart, can never agree : May with a document, do not bother Traffic and behave decently. Debauchery of democracy, not otherwise. If we do so it will be?
