They start pushing people away and making arrests. There are cries of "Disgrace! Shame!" from people on the square. But I'll tell you what struck me most when I talked to people who'd come to lay flowers. Some of them told me that, despite a sense of shock, they still hoped for a better future, a different Russia.
