The members of the Kremlin guard took a group of 30 BRSM (pro-Lukashenka organization Belarusian Republican Youth Union) activists for extremists, when the people unfurled the official Belarusian flag with the inscription BRSM on Red Square. The members of the Kremlin guard demanded to take away the “extremist poster” and stop “unauthorized meeting”.

The BRSM activists tried to explain the security they weren’t holding a meeting, but had an excursion, and an “extremist poster” was the flag of their organization. But the guard didn’t accept the explanations of the Belarusians, open e-news-paper Forum.msk.ru reports.
