3rd of August: What Navalny and Sobol promised to be a large-scale protest ended up being a minor meet & greet with bloggers and journalists making up most of the crowd. Despite being allowed a protest by the authorities on the 10th of August, this small contingent decided to go ahead. Last weekend, it became clear that it no longer is about the Moscow council elections, as half of those detained were from other cities and regions. Further evidence of the peaceful nature of some of these protesters can be seen in the video.
