As previously reported by "7x7", the police detained Alexander Peskov, Andrei Khristoforov, known as Drevarkh Prosvetlyonnyi (Drevarkh the Enlightened), and Eduard Luzhkov. It happened when a helicopter with fuel for the builders of the landfill reached Shies. Police officers didn't allow to transfer food to the detained activists.
