In January 2004, an initiative group of Yekaterinburg people is carrying out an action of protest against human rights violations during the war in Chechnya. A picket at the monument to Tatischev is to be held on January 30, with up to 15 people taking part in it. The initiative group is led by Gleb Edelev, a local NGO activist.
