The gathering, on the central Arbat Street, coincided with Valentine’s Day and was dubbed “Love is stronger than fear.” Some of the participants were given flowers, balloons and leaflets with black hearts.
Those involved told reporters the “chain of solidarity” was aimed at showing support to figures they referred to as “female political prisoners” detained in Russia.
Many of the younger participants struggled to name any “imprisoned” women in particular. Meanwhile, others mentioned Navalny’s wife Yulia and his close associate Lyubov Sobol as well as Pussy Riot activist Maria Alekhina. However, none of them are actually in jail.
