(Clearwisdom.net) On the 21st of August, Russian practitioners once again held a successful activity in crowded downtown Izmailova to let people know about Falun Dafa and the persecution. The activity showed the goodness of Dafa as well as the actual methods of persecution that practitioners are subjected to in China. Approximately ten thousand people passed our exhibition over several hours and several thousand people accepted our materials and showed concern. The scene was peaceful and the people were shocked by the torture exhibition.

The activity was mainly divided into two parts. One part was about Falun Dafa spreading widely in the world, the introduction of the universal characteristics of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, and the performance of the exercises. The practitioners validated Dafa's grand power to change the spirit as well as strengthen the body through their own cultivation experiences. Dafa practitioners' characteristic of compassion and decency attracted people's attention. A Turkish gentleman who was visiting Russia joined the practitioners, holding banners reading "Falun Dafa is good" and "Stop spreading lies" separately for several hours in the heat of the sun with two other Falun Gong practitioners.
Another part of the activity reflected the severe persecution which Falun Gong has suffered in China. Aiming at the Chinese people attending the big public market, practitioners showed a series of films including one about the Tiananmen self-immolation, another exploring the reason for Falun Dafa being brutally persecuted in China and the cruel torture, etc. Many people stayed and watched carefully. Russian natives, who outnumbered the Chinese people, listened to the explanation of the persecution and tragedy happening in China.
A 'live' torture exhibition was the focus in this activity. Almost every person who passed by was shocked and stopped to look. When they realised that these were several methods of torture among a hundred which are still being used in China, they felt very indignant and said that they would like to support Falun Gong. One Chinese person joined the protest and lifted up a banner against the persecution. When his friend passed and asked him why stood with the Falun Gong group, he answered loudly, "You see 1027 people have been persecuted to death. Can I still keep silent? I want to protest!" In saying so, he lifted up the slogan in his hand higher.
Russian practitioners have become aware of the urgency and importance of their mission. They are putting more effort into their actions to save sentient beings, who are lost in a maze and deceived by lies.
