In Astrakhan, 500 people gather for walk with Alexei Navalny's supporters

300 people gathered by the beginning of the action. It was held in the form of a walk along the central streets of the city, and about 200 people joined the activists along their way.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on May 31, the Mayor's Office of Astrakhan did not sanction the rally for June 12. Organizers of the anticorruption action demanded in court to recognize the refusal of the City Mayor's Office as illegitimate, but the court confirmed the legitimacy of the city officials' response.

For about an hour, the people who gathered for the action held solo pickets and then they lined up in a column and moved along the route of the planned walk. Meanwhile, the column crossed the intersections strictly according to the road regulations.

In Lenin Square, participants of the action stopped to make a group photo. After that, the people chanted: "Russia will be free" and applauded to each other.
