News report on demonstration
Hello fellow linguists,
I have just come up against the term 'Болотной' in the context of an article talking about police behaviour when it comes to mass arrests and detentions at peaceful demonstrations. I can't decide whether this might be the literal meaning ('swamp') or whether it alludes to a specific term in the Russian socio-political lexicon.
Does anyone know?
Many thanks in advance!
