Russian term or phrase: контингент Болотной / новой Болотной
Hello fellow linguists,
I have just come up against the term 'Болотной' in the context of an article talking about police behaviour when it comes to mass arrests and detentions at peaceful demonstrations. I can't decide whether this might be the literal meaning ('swamp') or whether it alludes to a specific term in the Russian socio-political lexicon.
Does anyone know?
Many thanks in advance!

The Bolotnaya Square case is a criminal case by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation on the counts of alleged massive riot (article 212 of the Russian Criminal code) and alleged violence against police (article 318 of the Russian Criminal code) during the "March of the Millions" on May 6, 2012 on the Bolotnaya square in Moscow. The demonstration was one of the biggest protests in Russia since the 1990s.
