Tens of thousands at Moscow protests
Tens of thousands demonstrators rallied in the Russian capital today in another massive protest against election fraud, signalling a growing outrage with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s 12-year rule.
The demonstration in Moscow was as big as the one two weeks ago – the largest show of discontent the nation has seen since the 1991 Soviet collapse – although rallies in other cities in the far east and Siberia earlier today drew much smaller crowds.
