      Society Government The government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region has proposed to reduce the number of officially authorized sites for holding rallies and other public events. The corresponding draft resolution was prepared by the state-legal department and is currently undergoing anti-corruption review and public discussion.

      The current list of places for collective discussion of socially significant issues was approved in 2012. Since then it has been amended three times.

      This time it is proposed to exclude the site in the Prioksky District of Nizhny Novgorod — the area opposite the former Impuls cinema at 192 Gagarin Avenue. At the same time a new zone is being added in the city, transferred from the Kstovo municipal district due to its merger with Nizhny Novgorod.

      In Sarov the number of places for rallies is also being reduced. Of the three sites only one will remain — the square by the Eternal Flame on Lenin Avenue. The territory of the former market on Muzrukov Avenue and the section at 11–13 Kuibyshev Street are being removed from the list.

      The changes will also affect Pilninsky District. Instead of the site at 10 Uritsky Street in the urban-type settlement of Pilna, local authorities propose to use the viewing platform in the 40 Years of October Park, which they consider more suitable for mass actions.

      Earlier it was reported that Nizhny Novgorod residents were invited to express their opinion on the bill to ban "razlivaek."
