Let us remind you that in Gukovo, miners demand to cover the wage arrears, and starting from September 4, they are on march to Rostov-on-Don.

In groups of two persons, they pass some sections of the way, and on the other day they are replaced by new participants of the protest action.

On September 15, in Gukovo, policemen detained two miners on protest holding solo pickets. Besides, Tatiana Avachova, a coordinator of the Gukovo miners' protest actions, has been detained in the city centre.
