state owned channels were reporting the numbers to be 8k but the people who turned out were much much bigger. secondly today while i was riding the circle line there was this old citizen who was asking people to come to the march if they care about their future and that of their children, in general people were quite and didn't give any reactions whether positive or negative but then an old woman accompanied by her friend told him young man shut up and get off!! needless to say she got ignored but the gesture was not kind at all. then in every metro station i the metro passed it was literally loaded with police ( usually there are two on any given day, but today they were out in numbers), truth be said in the metro station i get off at when returning home there were two teenagers with signs telling people to get to city center ( kitay gorod) and the police was standing next to them with no interference.
i imagined my friends from class would show any sort of interest in these events but turns out they don't see any thing coming out of it, so they opted to sit at home, they were surprised that i was interested in this and was asking why they didn't go.
