On Russia Day, Marina Zagorodneva, a resident of St. Petersburg, went into a solitary picket near Petrogradskaya station.
The activist held a placard "Freedom for All" in her hand. She said that her action was a signal for the others not to be silent and not to be afraid.
In a conversation with a journalist from MR7.ru, Zagorodneva said that she used to go to protests, but then she stopped. She says that after the special operation, she became more afraid to speak up than to declare her position.
Petersburger was detained half an hour after the start of the rally and taken to the 43rd police department.
Earlier, she was detained on Navalny's birthday, when she and Vitaly Ioffe brought out blue and yellow balloons with the inscription "Happy Birthday." They were supposed to be punished for violating anti-covid restrictions, but the meeting of the commission never took place.
