Artem Loskutov, organizer of the “Monstration” was 10 days, but he is no stranger to this, said the publication “Komsomolskaya Pravda».

Zaeltsovskiy District Court of Novosibirsk can claim two records. Case Loskutov has caused a great stir in the city and in the meeting on the hearing in the hall was sold out, and another 30 people are not enough seats in the hall and had to watch the process of the windows of the room.
