Hello, I speak Russian.
1st woman being filmed: “Are you for activists?”
Press: “For activists of course”
1st woman: “I just wanted to ask, if I come here and only just say two words (holds up sign that literally says Two Words), will I be arrested right now or not (OMON running up and dragging her to their van)”
Press: “You are already being arrested” (dragged away)
Press: “This is insane. Insane. Did you see that.”
2nd Woman: “Are you filming everyone or…”
Press: “Filming everyone. Everyone.”
2nd Woman: “What about people with a different opinion, are you also filming them?”

2nd Woman: “What about those who don’t come out to protests, who think Russia’s operation is good, are you filming them.”
Press: “Yes, I am ready for all opinions.”
2nd Woman: “I would like to say my opinion.”
Press: “Please tell me”
2nd Woman: “I am in support of…(gets cut off by OMON and dragged to van)”
Press: “This is shocking content”
Press: “This person came by to say that she is in support of Vladimir Putin’s plan and everything, and yet she wasn’t even able to stand and speak for a few seconds”
Okay, I finally found an article with a little more background. There’s some uncertainty here with whether the video is genuine, but it does seem to be in line with reports that we’ve been hearing out of Russia.
Has this been verified or have any context? It just feels too convenient.
