Employees of the construction company Petro-Hehua marched in a column through Komsomolsk-on-Amur. They appealed to Rosneft chief Igor Sechin and Vladimir Putin for help over unpaid wages at a workers’ camp near the Komsomolsk refinery. 7x7 reported this.
Videos published on social media show the protesters’ banners. The signs read: "No money," "Путин помогите," and "Сечин помогите."
After the march, some of the workers staged a sit-in protest in a forest park. Komsomolsk-on-Amur mayor Dmitry Zaplutayev wrote that he was holding talks with the workers and the refinery’s management, but later deleted the post.
Security officers who arrived in the city center told passersby that the Chinese had come to celebrate Easter. No detentions of the protesters have been reported.
