Anna Androsova is a troll paid to spew anti-Russian propaganda drivel. S/he is writing from an apartment block close to the centre of Detroit or perhaps from a similar dreadful place somewhere in London. Given her low pay as a troll and fairly good English, one can conclude that the economy in her place is continuing along the downward spiral. Do not despair "Ana", the time will come when Russia will extend its helping hand even to you. Just do not bite it in advance. Cheers. Miguel.

Anna Androsova, can you please tell me the difference between Prokhorov and Khodorkovsky? Well there is none, because they've both stole from the Russian people as well as others, that's why the living standards in Russia are so bad for the ordinary person. There really is no point in arguing with you because I'm sure most of the people commenting on here know the truth, and you're support for a "true" opposition is absurd, especially when your current government is doing a great job as it is. I'm glad majority of Russians aren't as gullible as you. Don't tell me Putin asked Prokhorov to run for president, that's just a joke.

The next opposition rally is planned for March 10. In the form of processions.

@Anna Androsova, &nbs p;you are full of phoney anger.  Real anger assumes  feelings, not the capacity to recite a well-scripted narrative the way you do.  It is shocking that the "opposition" is actually given the honor of being called the "opposition". & nbsp; Opposition in a democratic system are political parties that have formed their platform for solving societal problems.  From economy, to taxation, from infrastructure, to jobs.  The people who just want to get some attention to themselves,  are not opposition. &nb sp;And it would be fair to ask them,  WHAT ARE YOU FOR?   Protests in democracy means identifying a problem, and letting leaders know of your displeasure.  A PROBLEM,  Anna Androsova.  Not just that you do not LIKE someone, and hate that they are elected.   So, we protest in US against bankers and their misdeads, against wars, against legislation that took legitimate rights of voters, etc.  But when people protest for REFORMS,  for FAIRNESS --- without identifying one specific reform --- and without any intelectual capacity to say how any reform is going to perform in government, economy, traffic, salaries, etc. etc.  In short, Ms. Anna Androsova,  it will take smarts to be opposition.  Giving phoney language of "reform" will not be bought by people who have once fallen for the likes like Boris Nemtsov.  Voters voted for the proven goods.   There are other good leaders, I am sure.  But the self-serving crowd ready for fight for (they are still thinking about it) --- is not it.  A famous blogger shouting paroles --- in the best of communist style!  Too bad, below his slogans, there is nothing at all. 

Konstruct You perhaps should get more information. &n bsp;Vladimir Putin was the one that asked Mikhail Prokhorov to run for president to serve as a candidate for liberals and democrats. We don't have a real opposition because Putin who makes the decisions on who is allowed to be a presidential candidate. The strong ones will be either  put to in jail (Khodorkovsky) or not allowed to participate in elections (Yavlinsky) 

Alright for those who comment on here against Putin, what are you against? Putin has done nothing bad for Russia he only does good, and when people say Putin is doing bad for Russia in reality he's doing good things.. it's a propaganda&nb sp;machine trying to mess with your brain. On the other hand oligarchs have billions of dollars, Prokhorov himself has 18 billion that he stole from the Russians..an ordinary russian doesn't even make a million dollars in his life time. Are you too stupid to understand that, its mind blowing people would even vote for that criminal. It amazes me how naive people are to not realize it..its called Russian stubbor n pride, once you're convinced of something even if its wrong you'll continue to disagree even when all the evidence points against your argument. If the majority of Russians vote for Putin obviously there's a reason for that too...and if you're against Putin you're obviously not Russian and if you are you should get a brain.

The corruption during Putin has become unbearable, from the very bottom to the very top. Putin owns the mass media and manipulates it in his favor. We are tiered of seeing the same botoxed face. I have never in my entire life  seen such a high concentration of injustice and felt such a sense of powerlessness. The army opposed the people, this army built on blackmail, bribery, and complete disregard of the law. So I do not understand how it can be combated. I just know that itmust be fought. In Moscow and St. Petersburg people have understood everything. The others ones will follow. This is the beginning of the end for Putin!

I know Pushkin Square.  Hundreds can gather there but not thousands. 

Red Square is big enough for thousands but not Pushkin Square. 
The Putin supporters were  not on the red Square, but on Manegnaja Ploshad.  Many were dragged form their work places to fill Manegnaja under the treat of being fired, or offered days off if they participated. Pushkin square is where truly intelligent, educated russian are. We want to see true democracy in Russia, not a manipulated one.

Guys i would like to ask: Are there any chances to see an other ukraine here?By the way congratulations to Mr.Putin from Greece!
Really bravo!

Correct me if am wrong, but isn’t it an act of war interfering in other countries elections calling it a Fraud? What if other countries such China, Russia, India, etc. call Obama a Fraud and step down! Did Putin Cheat? He did not need to. The overwhelming majority of Russians adore him starting with my girlfriend and all of her friends. I havn't met a single Russian national who does not love Putin. He has charisma and he speaks openly to anyone who wants to speak with him. He mixes with people and listens to people, that is why he is so popular and loved amoungst the Russian population. The so called "opposition" is an insignificant force made up mostly of communists and more insignificant still western financed "Liberal groups". For the rest, Putin with 64% of the people's support has much more legitimacy to govern than Obama with just over 50%. So let Putin be congratulated for his success and let all those world leaders who only dream of being so much loved and supported by their electorate starting with Barak Obama himself, drown in their envy.
