Russian Ultras left the stadium in Zenit St. Petersburg before the end of the first half in a league match to protest the aggressiveness of the police with football fans traveling with their teams.

During the game that faced Zenit , the undisputed leader of the Russian league, and Dinamo , the fans of the visiting team left the stands after half an hour of play. They were followed in the 40th minute by the most faithful followers of Zenit, who joined the request of the Spartak Moscow fan organization known as Fratria.

Last Sunday in the game that faced the Muscovite team and Zenit, hundreds of Spartak fans were arrested, three of whom are still in police custody. Fratria denounces in his note "the unfounded police aggressiveness" with which the fans of Spartak, but also of Zenit, Lokomotiv or CSKA, have met in several cities. "Cheering on our teams is not a crime," he proclaims.

In the past, the most radical fans of the main Russian teams and the national team were involved in violent clashes in the European Eurocup and in several international matches, although no incidents were recorded during the World Cup in Russia.
