I didn't believe in it for long-long time as well, dismissing it like some kind of hoax, so I don't blame you.

( I think that in Russia that's how it's perceived for the most part. That's why the fact that someone like Lev Ivanov ( the investigator) identified the culprit as UFO back in the 50ies (!) is simply mind-boggling. ( At that he was not talking about "aliens" or what not, but just "Unidentified flying object."



I think I changed my mind after reading about the "Rendelsham forest incident" where the military base staff was involved, and "Dyatlov's pass" finally convinced me, just for the sheer number of people involved. Two search teams, the numerous witnesses, the parents, the funerals where a lot of locals took place, and what they said about the deceased.
I mean it's much easier to dismiss the witnessing of couple of people, but it's not that easy when it's already a big crowd.

Does anyone have any news on the supposed protests in support of Furgal/Khabarovsk in St. Petersburg and Moscow? I haven't seen any official news sites report on this and it's hard to tell the actual scale of these protests?

Grega...
As far as I understand, there were planned actions in Moscow and St. Petersburg against the latest amendments to Constitution.
And since they coincided with the protests in Khabarovsk, people participating in these actions, ( anti-Putin's crowd,) expressed their solidarity with Khabarovsk as well.

But people who usually participate in such protests in Moscow and St. Pet, are mostly right-wing ( so not popular,) and they are usually tied either to Navalny or whoever else suspected in ties to the US. ( With other words, not a big crowd - may be few hundreds? )
While in Khabarovsk it's a truly popular and spontaneous people's uprising.


But they were grateful for what little support they received from St. Pet and Moscow ( judging by the comments on Youtube.)

I want to remind everyone that posting articles or videos in foreign languages is against the forum ToS.

Thank you!

Elnina.. but if it's translated/explained as much as possible?

Is it yes or still no?

(Not to argue - I have no idea, are there any exceptions/rules on that, because sometimes those youtube videos serve as the referrals to the source of information. )

Most of us here have some knowledge of Russian and we know how to use translators. I can understand a lot so long as they're not speaking too fast. Erasure puts a lot of effort into informing us what is going on. The content posted in Russian are vital to the subjects being discussed. I know you have a job to do but I strongly suggest that an exception be made in this this and the Ukraine thread.

I understand Russian too, but those are City-Data rules. If you want talk Russian with selected few, then you will need to find a Russian Forum.
(However, I am going to ask Senior Mods again, for a confirmation - which will be posted here).

Please do, thanks))

( Because sometimes we REALLY need those videos to comment on. Provided they have explanations/overviews in English accompanying them for anyone to keep track of whats' going on - that's understood.)
Otherwise we might start missing a lot on info, because often in that part of the world it comes through Youtube, and not official news channels.
It's important to keep in mind, so thanks again in advance Elnina.
( Like for example - I wouldn't have a clue that the protesters in Moscow and St. Pet were supporting the protests in Khabarovsk if not for a video posted by Grega.
There was NOTHING on it on official Russian sites.

Heck, even the protests in Khabarovsk were nowhere on official Russian news or sites for quite some time - just the arrest of governor in Moscow, that's all.
