"Targamadze, Razvozzhayev, Udaltsov and Lebedev - together with unidentified individuals - organized mass riots on Bolotnaya Square on May 6," he said.
An authorized rally on Yakimanka Street and Bolotnaya Square ended in clashes between the police and protesters. Dozens of indivdiuals were injured and over 400 protesters were detained. The Investigative Committee launched a case over the mass riots.
