Protests erupted in scores of cities across Russia today, including massive demonstrations in Russia and Saint Petersburg condemning the ruling United Russia Party over allegations of election rigging in last weekend’s vote.
The protests ended with Interior Ministry troops attacking the rallies, and at least 300 arrested in Moscow, with another 200 detained in Saint Petersburg. Reports say the journalists covering the rally may have been among those arrested.
The election saw United Russia winning around 50 percent of the popular vote, with the old Soviet Union-era Communist Party coming in second place. The Liberal Democrats and the Socialist “Just Russia” bloc also scored double digit votes.
Despite the claims of ballot-stuffing, this was a significant drop-off from United Russia’s take in the last election, and it seems that the Putin/Medvedev party is losing its support. The only question is if any other party can emerge which isn’t so flawed that it is seen as a realistic alternative.
Only 500.
The Americans have arrested over 5000 of their protestors.
Beaten, pepper sprayed them, injured them and intimidated them dressed up as star war clones of the imperial guard.
We know that Russia will not be interfering in American affairs or funding NGOs which are nothing more tha Russian fronts.
However in Russia no one would bet a penny that the demonstrations against Putin are not American/British/Israeli funded and organised by NGOs pretending to be .the genuine voice of the people.
We have seen enoughof 'colour' revolutions – all being reversed as the chance arises.
The poeple are no longer being fooled by the NWO..
PUTIN NEEDS TO STEP DOWN !!!!
