Anti-fascists were standing near the monument to the victims of intervention.

After that, all the picketers were taken to the police station. According to our correspondent, there are regular participants of memory action among detainees, which takes place on January 19. This mass arrest took place for the first time.

A lawyer from St. Petersburg Alexander Peredruk wrote on Facebook that police offers activists to inform about organizer and in return will let the other participants go.
