MOSCOW — Several hundred demonstrators in southern Russia have protested a strict lockdown amid the new coronavirus pandemic.
The protesters rallied Monday outside the regional government’s headquarters in Vladikavkaz, the regional capital of the province of North Ossetia in the North Caucasus mountains.
They booed a local official who spoke to the crowd and argued that the quarantine measures are necessary to stem the spread of infections.
Police detained several organizers of the rally.
Russia so far has 47,121 coronavirus cases, including 405 deaths.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a partial economic shutdown through April 30 and authorities in most of Russia’s 85 regions have introduced strict lockdown measures.
This is what schadenfreude looks like. Looks like those MAGA trolls you’ve been paying brought their stupid home with them doesn’t it Puti?
Who boy! Now that is rich! Sow the wind, Vlad, reap the whirlwind.
“Russia so far has 47,121 coronavirus cases, including 405 deaths.”
Can’t hide that,no matter who you are.
So that’s what Guiliani’s been up to this whole time.
What? No masked goons with assault rifles defying local government & being egged on by the President? Don’t they have any ‘patriots’?
