In Buryatia, a federal subject of Russia, police arrested two young people who were holding placards “No money, but we hold on. Mood is bad” and “I left a school job, went into business, became bankrupt. Thank you!” near the Buryat State University in Ulan-Ude, where Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev arrived.

The young people were standing at a distance of three meters from each other. According to eyewitnesses, at first they were asked to go behind the fence and then they were detained by the police.

The inscriptions on the placards referred to Medvedev’s recent statements.

In May, Dmitry Medvedev was on a working trip to Crimea. Asked by a local resident when Russia will raise pensions, he referred to the lack of money in the country’s budget.

“There is simply no money now. We will find the money and have the indexation of pensions. Hold on, I wish you all the best, good health and good mood!” Medvedev said and quickly left the venue.

In early August, Russia’s Prime Minister recommended young teachers to go into business if ‘they are not satisfied with their salaries’. A modern teacher is able not only to get their official salary, but have some additional earnings as well, Medvedev said.
