Rumors raced around the city the next day that the police had released all those accused of Sviridov’s murder (as it happens, the rumors were true). Spontaneous protests erupted in front of police headquarters, but the police did not intervene.
事发第二天城中谣言四起，说警方把所有涉嫌杀害施维利多夫的人都放了（跟往常一样，这是真的）。于是人们自发聚集到警察总部门口抗议，但警方却按兵不动，未做任何阻拦。
