About this on February 21, herasscalled in conversation with aif.ru.

"We plan to hold more and more new actions. The next rally will be on February 23. Of course, the local authorities are trying to limit it," he said.

Syrsky noted that at the last rally, timed to coincide with Victory Day on May 9, local authorities in Australia fined people for allegedly having flags improperly hooked to their cars. However, during other demonstrations, this was "turned a blind eye", he added.
