Additional information:

Radio Svoboda correspondents Ivan Voronin, Artem Radygin, and Nikita Tatarsky were detained at a protest rally on Pushkinskaya Square in Moscow. The detainees were taken to the Kuntsevo Police Station where they were released a few hours later without reports. A video recording that the journalists managed to hand over to the editorial office shows one of the correspondents telling the police several times that he is a representative of the press and asking them to stop using physical force against him — hitting his legs and twisting his hands.
