This opinion was expressed in a comment to PolitNavigator by Mikhail Pogrebinsky, director of the Kyiv Center for Political Research and Conflictology.
“The increase in the number of participants in the Immortal Regiment action was expected. As the authorities drive people into complete hopelessness, the number of those who decide to simultaneously express their protest and honor the memory of those who fought increases. This will continue,” the expert predicts.
"The authorities decided that incidents involving beatings of elderly people should be prevented and that the event should be protected from radical nationalists. And they largely succeeded. The incidents that did occur were rather modest, I would say, minor. Things could have been much worse, but the authorities managed to prevent them. It's clear that, for example, in Dnipropetrovsk, the police leadership didn't do this on their own initiative, especially since their mayor is such a jerk as Filatov. I think they received orders from higher-ups. But these same authorities, having given the order to ensure the safety of the march, themselves got scared and fired the police leaders," Pogrebinsky believes.
