Activists of the Lev Against movement, who oppose drinking alcohol in public places, came to Moscow's Gorky Park, where people celebrating the Day of the Airborne Forces gathered. REN TV, SOTA and the Mash TELEGRAM channel write about this.

As Mash writes, the riot police had to intervene in the conflict between the Lev Against activists and the paratroopers, and arrests are underway. SOTA also writes about the detention of activists. According to REN TV, Mikhail Lazutin, leader of the Lev Against project, was detained in Gorky Park.

An activist of the movement told REN TV that some celebrants recognize them and ask to take a photo. According to him, they "communicate politely", but some in response "are indignant and begin to prove very strongly that they are right in this situation."

The press service of the Main Directorate of the Russian Guard in Moscow told RBC that the OMON officers prevented a conflict between young people in Gorky Park. “A verbal skirmish that arose between several citizens could end in a fight. The employees of the Russian Guard who arrived in time escorted one of the participants in the conflict to another place for his own safety, ”the press service said.
