RE: My reportage of the May Day demonstration in St. Petersburg.
Interesting post @kurokikuro. We also have the 1st of may "day of work" in Germany. I know that we also had some demonstrations in Munich but not as big as it seems to be in St.Petersburg.
Was it a nice experience? - Was it more like a walk or did the people stand in front of a political monument?
Cheers,
Max
The demonstration went through the whole Nevsky Prospect (it was blocked during the holiday), to Kazan Square, where the holiday continued. People performed on the stage, party leaders promised supporters to "restore justice", somewhere the police in helmets again took away people who openly showed dissatisfaction with the authorities. I am very sorry that I left and did not take a picture of it. Everyone should see how human rights are respected in Russia.
