Anti-Putin protests break out across 80 Russian cities
Link to tweet
Bill Browder is a leader on Russian anti-corruption.
From article:
Russia’s day of protests is underway, with hundreds attending nationwide rallies and dozens of arrests already reported.
The protests are an unwanted birthday present for Vladimir Putin – who celebrates his 65th today – from leading critic Alexei Navalny. Mr Navalny is himself watching at distance from a Moscow detention cell after being jailed together with his campaign chief last Monday.
The protests were originally only planned for Mr Putin’s home town, St Petersburg, but were extended after the sentences. Police told Interfax news agency an estimated 700 people were present at the protest in Moscow.
