According to a RIA Novosti correspondent, only a few people took part in the action. The number of journalists who arrived at the businessman's office in Down Street nearly exceeded the number of protesters.
"It was not as massive as we planned, but I'm hopeful that the original message of this action will be delivered," Oleg Bondarenko, head of the youth organization of the Rodina party, told RIA Novosti.
The action was held under the slogan - If You Don't Want to Return to Your Motherland - "Motherland" Will Get You - and was authorized by the party's leadership, including Dmitry Rogozin.
Two young men dressed as Russian commandos unfolded red posters saying "Berezovsky Go Home" and "Plant the Birch-Tree" (a play on words in Russian, with "plant" meaning "send to prison" and "birch-tree" - the nickname Russian people gave to Berezovsky). Another participant wore a prison uniform and a mask with Berezovsky's face.
The young protesters were going to hand in to Berezovsky or his representatives an improvised "discount ticket London-Kolyma" (Kolyma is a river in northeast Russia where camps for prisoners used to be) and a prison uniform, which they said was made in the businessman's size. Berezovsky is now living in London with documents for the name of Platon Yelenin.
However, the protesters were not let into Berezovsky's office. So they left the ticket on a flowerbed at the entrance, folded the uniform and took it with them.
Mr. Bondarenko told reporters, "we want to be heard by Berezovsky and want to let him know that he will find no peace even here," he added.
Four policemen arrived at the site of the action to maintain order, and asked the protesters about their intentions.
When asked whether they were going to arrest or take the participants in the action somewhere, one of the policemen answered, "No, everything is fine. You are cool guys."
After the action, the protesters moved to the Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park where they will collect signatures of common British people, demanding Berezovsky's extradition to Russia.
People in Berezovsky's office in London told a RIA Novosti correspondent that they had received no notifications from the police or other official power bodies about the action.
