Law enforcement authorities visited the former city councilor, Dmitry Petrovsky, and initiated an investigation into a possible violation of mass event regulations. The investigation is based on Petrovsky's picket with a bucket near the Yaroslavl regional government building.

On July 1, Petrovsky picketed with the word "Spittoon" on a bucket protesting the fines for spitting in public spaces. He believes that the region's governor, Mikhail Yevraev, who introduced these fines, views all Yaroslavl citizens as "ill-mannered."

In late June, Governor Mikhail Yevraev introduced fines for spitting in public places within the Yaroslavl region. The initial offense carries a fine of 1,500 rubles ($16.6), increasing to 3,000 rubles ($33.2) for repeated violations. Yevraev urged Yaroslavl citizens to exhibit better manners.

The Yaroslavl region became the first region in Russia to introduce such regulations concerning public spaces.
