mass protest rally metropolitan students against the 
introduction of paid education and the deterioration of working 
conditions and the lives of students and teachers.

look like, that this neighborhood I've seen elsewhere - in 
ehokonferentsiyah Fido on Enlight-e, in the forms of creative 
teams ... After who we are, spektrumisty, most of them? - We 
are young, we are just students and school children (though in 
some places there are also some teachers ;-)), and anxiety, and 
pain emerged in the streets of the capital close to us, 
everyone who learns or teaches. Russian Education is in danger! 
Was the slogan carried on the front row, and then ... Next was 
a sea of ​​red banners with the hammer and sickle, and carried 
these banners strong young men, and not the "traditional" 
retirees (although veterans were also in the column). All 
burst! "Hands Off Public Education!" - And on the staff of the 
poster with the portrait of "popularly elected" to finish with 
a bang and a characteristic black antennae. Multimeter panel
