The attempt, which was supposed to be a repeat of the 2018 action, involved Pyotr Verzilov , Veronika Nikulshina and an unnamed activist.

It is reported that the protesters wanted to draw attention to the situation in Ukraine, the imprisonment of Alexei Navalny and restrictions on women's rights in Iran. This was reported by the organization Cinema for Peace.
