Police took Galyamina to a station on Yapeyev Street, where officers are drawing up a report against her under the article on disobeying a police officer's demands, Rumyantsev said.
Political scientist Ekaterina Shulman confirmed the detention and said Galyamina's lawyer, Rim Sabirov, is at the scene. Shulman noted that the disobedience article is a standard way to start a case when nothing else can be thought up on the spot.
Galyamina came to Kazan on a private visit, SOTAvision reported.
Galyamina is a politician and public figure who formerly served as a municipal deputy for Moscow's Timiryazevsky district. In 2020 she was handed a two-year suspended sentence under the so-called Dadin article, which penalizes repeated participation in unauthorized protests; the case was prompted by her participation in a rally against amendments to the Constitution. The criminal prosecution cost her her deputy's mandate.
In September 2022 the Justice Ministry added Galyamina to its register of "foreign agents." She was subsequently dismissed from the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), where she taught.
