Journalists were detained in the center Yekaterinburg before a pacifist rally that had not yet begun. All of them were questioned by the police about the legality of their presence at unauthorized events. They were first put on the bus, then released and told to leave the rally. Liza Dudina (Sota) managed to leave, but the three other journalists — Irina Salomatova (RusNews), Kristina Khaker (Rosderzhava) and Alevtina Trynova (Vecherniye Vedomosti) were again detained and taken to the police station, where they were asked to give explanations.
