"The Embassy urges the Department of State and Department of Justice to take urgent measures to respect the legitimate rights of the Russian citizen, as well as to ensure proper conditions of Pyotr (Peter) Levashov’s detention and the protection of his human dignity," the statement said.

“The appearance of a Boris Nemtsov plaza in Washington is interference in Russia’s internal affairs.”

There is no doubt that the U.S. delegation has something to tell the world. For example, Nikki Haley can share the American experience of dispersal of protest actions, tell in detail how, for example, mass arrests and suppression of the Occupy Wall Street movement were carried out or Ferguson was "cleansed.”
