Meanwhile, the courageous Russian People are massing in Moscow again today

After two weekends of extreme violence by
Putin’s jackbooted stormtroopers, 47,000
brave Moscowvites have come out today to
protest his undemocratic kleptocracy. This
destroys the myth that Putin is still popular.

Over 50 thousand people came today to Sakharov
Avenue in Moscow to demand free and fair elections.
At least 66 people have been detained in three cities -
St. Petersburg, Rostov on Don and Moscow.

And as the rally goes, people are coming, more and

Last week Browder reported learning that authorities were threatening to cut the fingers off arrested protesters. Not quite murder, yet somehow just as terrifying.

There were/are about 50,000 today, dozens "detained."

This is fantastic! Members of the public drown out this
#Kremlin TV present(er), chanting "shame, shame, shame".
Slightly Game of Thrones.
