The start of the action, scheduled for September 24, the International Day of Peace, was scheduled for 14. 00.

According to the Fontanka, the participants of the peace march gathered near the Kazan Cathedral and 40 minutes later they were going to go towards the Senate Square along the main thoroughfare of the city. The police blocked the way for part of the group, because of which the protesters stayed at the Kazan. Protesters with balls of yellow and blue, as well as white balls with the image of a dove in their hands went to the Admiralty.

The police warns those gathered with the help of loudspeakers that the action is not coordinated and the offenders will detain.

Recall, on September 21 at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office was blocked by a group of events "VKontakte". Participants of the action call for peace with Ukraine. The city authorities did not agree to the holding of the march, as in 2015, although then the opposition managed to pass from the metro station "Gorkovskaya" to Kazan.
