The police in the pic look like russian special forces: OMON

OMOH (Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya) is Russia's version of the RCMP's tactical teams. Only with a lot less regard for the rule of law and proportionate response.
The guy in the costume was attempting to deliver a sealed package to the mayor of Moscow, who was in the vicinity. OMON didn't like unexpected guy in bulky costume carrying sealed package to municipal official. Wonder why?
