A quick arrest.
In a video seen more than a million times on Twitter, the Russian activist group Activatica, shows the surprising almost simultaneous arrest of two Russian women, right in the middle of Manezhnaya Square in Moscow.
At the beginning of the sequence, a peaceful demonstrator appears alone in the image.
"I wanted to get your opinion," she says to the man behind the camera.
If I just say two words, will I be arrested?
“, She continues, raising a small sign where you can literally read “two words”, written in Russian.
Barely a few seconds after showing the sign, four policemen throw themselves on her and embark her towards their vehicles, holding her by the arms.
"It's crazy what just happened", reacts the cameraman.

A few seconds later, another woman, visibly pro Putin, calls out to the cameraman: “Do you only film those who are in opposition?
Those who are not going to demonstrate?
she asks the cameraman who replies that he collects all opinions.
“So I too want to express my point of view, I agree with the fact that…”, she begins.
But several police officers appear again in front of the lens, interrupting the young woman, before embarking her unceremoniously in the same direction as the first demonstrator.
“It's really shocking, then reacts the man of the Activatica group.
She came to say that the situation (in Ukraine, editor's note) suits her well and she did not even stay a few seconds, ”he concludes.
