Residents of Khabarovsk, Russia rally against the appointment of the new governor Mikhail Degtyarev as acting governor of the region instead of Sergei Furgal, who was dismissed from office by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday (July 21) "due to loss of confidence."

In Khabarovsk on Tuesday, July 21, a mass action was held against the appointment of Mikhail Degtyarev as acting Governor of the region instead of Sergei Furgal, who was dismissed from office by Russian President Vladimir Putin a day earlier "due to loss of confidence". After the protest on Lenin square, the crowd went on a traditional March through the city center. The police are restrained and there are no arrests. Protesters are not even driven off the roadway. In the column of protesters, new slogans appeared: in addition to "Freedom to Sergei Furgal", residents chanted " Degtyarev, get out!". Despite this, the new head of the region, who arrived in Khabarovsk earlier on Tuesday, did not come out to the protesters. He left the regional government building while the protest was still in progress.
