Evidence

Quotes

Russian paid young 'protestors' 1,000 rubles (for every exit) to stand outside even embassies of EU nations in Moscow before the May 9th parade

Payments were likely made with mobile app transfer on-site after the event. A list of those who responded to calls in chat groups was compiled so that the police would know whom not to detain.

Two identifiable pro-government youth organizations were involved: Volunteerskoye Rion and Molodyaya Gvardiya.
