Behind the Striking Viral Photo From the Russian Protests
One of the most striking photos
from the protests depicted Olga Lozina in Moscow being carried away by
several police officers, who held her by her arms and legs.
Lozina, who described herself as "a graduate of Physical-Technical Institute," told the Russian website Meduza
that she had been walking through the center of Moscow with her mother
and sister, when they encountered a police blockade and a crowd of
people.
Lozina was arrested after her sister and her mother, who was
taken into custody after asking police why they had detained another
man.
Lozina
told Meduza that she was not "rudely detained," according to a
translation of her account, but she said she had "suffered." At the time
of the interview, she did not know when she would be released.
