Hundreds of protesters - most of them unmasked - gathered on Monday in Vladikavkaz, the capital of the southern Russian Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, to demand the cancellation of the self-isolation regime. The unauthorized meeting took place near the building of the local government despite restrictions, which will last till April 30.

A group of representatives was formed among the protesters and began negotiations with officials, TASS reported. The head of the republic, Vyacheslav Bitarov, spoke with some of the demonstrators earlier, saying that authorities will help everyone in need of aid. Bitarov also asked the republic's residents to stay home because of the coronavirus pandemic, "as people in other countries do it," but those gathered did not listen to him, according to reports. Around 1,500 people took part in the action, the Kommersant daily said.

Videos from the Svoboda (Freedom) Square in the capital of Russia's Republic of North Ossetia showed the demonstrators trying to break police cordons and tossing stones at officers in full riot gear.


The number of Covid-19 cases in the republic is 177, and two people have died, according to the local Health Ministry.


The unsanctioned rally began at noon on Monday with a group of people gathering outside the administration, with only a few wearing face masks and staying very close to each other. They were quite peaceful and only chanted slogans, demanding an immediate end to the quarantine, which, they insist, leaves them without their livelihood. The protesters also called for the resignation of the republic's head, Vyacheslav Bitarov, and the release of detained activist Vadim Cheldiyev.

Former opera singer turned leader of North Ossetia's coronavirus-deniers, Cheldiyev, was arrested last week for spreading fake information about Covid-19. In videos he posted online, he insisted that the disease posed no real health threat. He also attacked Bitarov's response to the pandemic - despite the lockdown measures in North Ossetia being the same as elsewhere in Russia - and urged the public to protest the quarantine measures.


Comment: Well, Cheldiev's right. RT, curiously, is fully onboard with this hoax.


The authorities apparently didn't expect such a large gathering amid a lockdown, with the police presence not enough to hold the people off as they tried making their way to the government HQ.

Eventually, Bitarov had to come out of the building and address the angry crowd. The head of the republic tried to explain that the lockdown was a necessary measure and that staying indoors was the only way to stop the spread of the coronavirus. But not many were eager to listen to him.
Before leaving, Bitarov proposed that the demonstrators select representatives from amongst themselves in order to negotiate a solution for the crisis.

But the appearance of North Ossetia's top official wasn't enough to make the people disperse. They remained at the square, with some clashing with police, who by then had received reinforcements. The local media reports that arrests were made before the protest concluded.
