Some protesters were wrapped in a white sheet smeared with red paint, symbolizing the Ukrainian victims of the Russian invasion. Andreev and his entourage did not arrive at the memorial as they wanted to celebrate the 77th anniversary of Germany’s surrender in World War II. The police helped them leave the cemetery, where more than 20,000 Soviet soldiers were buried.
