Avoiding public protests in Yakutsk is advised by the government

The city of Yakutsk may not witness the traditional May Day parade this year, as a recommendation from a government commission on offenses suggests the cancellation of the event. The decision, however, will not be finalized until April 10, when the Federation Council of Trade Unions of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) makes its official announcement.

Last year, the May Day demonstration of labor collectives in Yakutsk was cancelled, and in its absence, the trade unions organised thematic events dedicated to May Day. According to local news source, KP - Yakutia, similar events might take place this year instead of the May Day demonstration.

It is important to note that the recommendation from the government commission on offenses is advisory in nature and applies only to Yakutsk. The decision, if made to cancel the May Day demonstration, will not be binding on other municipalities.

The May Day demonstration in Yakutsk is a traditional event that usually takes place in the city, though no specific information about the nature or usual occurrence of the demonstration is available. The news about the potential cancellation of this year's event was first reported by KP - Yakutia.

No information has been provided about the reasons behind the cancellation of the May Day demonstration last year or the possibility of its cancellation this year. Nor is there any publicly available information about the use of Life, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Twitter in relation to the May Day demonstration or the decision to hold or cancel it.

As the date of April 10 approaches, more details about the May Day demonstration in Yakutsk will likely become available. Until then, the city waits to see if the traditional parade of labor collectives will take place this year.
