The main thing is to show that few people have gathered for Sakharov.

Many people say that this is a brilliant tactical idea and thanks to this all the world's bands are occupied by Alexei Navalny. But we must not only think about samopiara. We need a platform for coordinating disparate protest groups, "Kurnosova summed up..
