Police near St. Petersburg detained 100 people at a secret punk festival on suspicion of "performing songs in support of Ukraine"

Police searched tents for drugs and "evaluated posters with Ukrainian symbols, hung on trees near the makeshift stage."

Police raided the festival in Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Oblast. Law enforcement representatives told the state agency RIA Novosti that "citizens with radical left-wing views gathered under the guise of a music festival near Vyborg, close to the border zone of Leningrad Oblast with Finland," writes Meduza.

The reason for the raid was "suspicion of performing songs in support of Ukraine, changing power in the Russian Federation, and mass drug use."

Approximately 100 people were detained – participants and organizers of the festival. Police searched tents for drugs and "evaluated posters with Ukrainian symbols, hung on trees near the makeshift stage."

In addition, quadcopters, which are prohibited from being launched in the border zone, are being confiscated from participants and organizers.

The festival in question is Day x Night, where, according to the poster, punk bands from St. Petersburg and Karelia were scheduled to perform.

    Bhagawan, і Беларусь, і тая ж расея не вылазілі з СССР, так, пры ельцыне пабалаболілі са сцэны ды па ТБ і ў газетах. А у БССР і не было аніякай адлігі, мо толькі ў пачатку працу парламента бачылі ды слухалі. А потым зноў пад лаву загналі, нават, стол мінавалі, хутка за печ загоняць.
