legislator leading the effort said Monday.Public events are not allowed throughout the unique military operation, which was revealed by
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Feb

city square where the presentation was set to occur on March 25
Alexei Boykov, a member of the Krasnoyarsk local legislature who had looked for approval for the demonstration, called the restriction
unconstitutional.Conducting an unique military operation can not be a factor for this rejection by itself, Boykov wrote on Telegram.He

wartime restrictions to reject opposition rallies
He stated he had actually asked district attorneys to examine the legality of the ban.I consider this response to be another insult and
mockery of the law, stated Boykov, a member of the reactionary Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR)
Boykov initially sent the demonstration demand on behalf of animal rights activists who were formerly barred from showing against a federal
costs enabling the euthanasia of stray dogs
Officials cited Covid-19 constraints in turning down that demonstration.
