We must all remember that Putin was elected to his office by a majority of the people of Russia. The results of this electoral process must be respected. Those who did not vote for Putin have a right to protest and many thanks to RT for reporting these events. However, I suspect that the US State Department and/or the CIA has some involvement or at least some contact with the protestors in Russia. The American Empire is always undermining governments all over the world.
Here they are again, Navalny, Uldatsov and Nemtsov! Those three persons figure again and again, in these rallies! It is kind of a relieve that they are currently hold in custody, and that because they violated the agreement of how the rallies where to unfold! And in the west, it seems like it is "forgotten", that Mr. Navalny is a nationalist. And by bypassing that fact, he has gotten some kind of legitimacy here?! But atleast now they can't hopefully not cause any more trouble at the Presidential Inouguration tomorrow. The demonstrators "some of them" , begin to be desperate, when they try the violent approach, after the earlier peaceful marches and rallies, failed to bring the most "extremists the results" they hoped for. Why do they think violence will bring more sympathy, is beyond me! All and all, it seems to slowly end as the evening falls! Again a good and quick responce by the Police, stopped it from getting out of hand in any really serious way. And I am looking forward to see and hear from the great event tomorrow!
My name is "the proud russian" and I have been posting on here for awhile. I want to take this opportunity to apologize to the universe for being a pro-Putin lover. I cannot lie, I think Putin is sexy and the only reason I like him is because I want to lick his ankles with my vodka soaked tongue.
Other than that I think Putin is mean and bad and I didn't mean it when I said he was good for Russia. That was just the vodka talking and I really don't want to be a communist.
Again, I'm very sorry for lying to you all just because I want to lick Putin's corn hole. =)
You're obviously not Russian, you fool. You just want destruction for Russia, why else would you support a Russian revolution, everyone knows Putin is doing better for Russia, don't bring your western backed propaganda onto this forum. As a real Russian I know that Russia would not be a sovereign nation if it wasn't for Putin, and the majority of Russians will not be fooled by the western propaganda.
To see the Russian people stand up and speak their mind is wonderful. It shows the world that the Russian people are just as fed up with government lies as others in this world.
Good luck my Russian brothers and sisters! Fight for your freedoms, fight for Mother Russia, and fight against Putin! He is evil and he must be dealt with.
Never bck down, never stop, this is our Russian Revolution!
The reason of the arrests was as simply as "provocation", That's a good reason to arrest the opposition, as the American uses the same reasons to pursue its own agenda. Provocation is a great reason to stop these western financed fools.
This site is byist. you think homosexuals and americans are telling RUSSIAN PEOPLE to protest. no i dont think so. its beacause your countrys leaders are not transfering power right. medvedev is president and putin prime minister, ok so they switch, was to say that wont happen over and over and over again. that is not fair that is not right that is not freedom. if you honestly think americans can control whats going on in your country than your just as blind as the north koreans. and that is pretty blind. ps. before you say im a stupid american, ill tell you i like putin. he is a very strong leader who did help the country out a great deal. but be realalistic and move on. let your younger voices and minds start to drive the country in a direction where the people want it. not the united russian party with the most money, most media control, most dictatorship actions
In fact all presidents (including the Clinton and Bush and Kennedy DYNASTIES)..... were installed in power by an elite of rich organised criminals....... who now control most of the world...... and now WANT control of the BRICS nations. The stsategy is always the same.....call for democratic elections.... then BUY the political parties and the politicians themselves.using your Zionist media to influence the election results.....but ALSO making ALL electable political parties have IDENTICAL policies......once they are "in office"......whateve r lies they tell before the voting begins.Why did a "Democratic" President repeal Glass-Steagel and attack Serbia?
My name is Vlad and I am a tiny little man with a sneaky attitude. I like making people think I care about them but in reality, I think the Russian people are stupid little people with no brains. I am going to make them all slaves and I am going to make Russia a Soviet state again.
Commun ist rule is the only way to go because it makes me smile when you silly people have to stand in bread lines all day long. Oh how I laugh at those silly little children who cry and moan because they don't have any food to eat! Hahahahaaaa it is so wonderful to see them get all skinny and then fall down in the street dead.
Communi sim as you know is the only way to go! That is my new slogan... What do you think of it? You better say you like it or you will be dragged off into the night and shot to death and thrown in a swamp! You deserve that and as your leader, you will get it!
So for all of those silly people saying that I, President Putin is a bad man, all I can say is this... It makes no difference if I am a good man or a bad man, I am THE man and I own you so call me what you want because I will get you in the end and you will either obey or be dead.
Communi sim is here to stay and I will ring in the old Soviet state if it kills you all!
Western 'Elite Club' based in Capital of western countries have contracted this Job of Toppling Regimes of Non-NATO Countries. Currently a big program is taking place in Georgia very close to Russia where Ring leaders of this protests are paid in millions.

Can somebody explain to me why majority of opposition leaders do not have Russian sounding last names (Nemcov, Kasaparov, Davidis etc. And according to people who organized this it should be " March of the Million". How suddenly it become march of paltry 5000. Even in giving the names of events they can not be original but they have to copy event names from their masters country.
Good point about the last names, Lazarus, although they also employ services of some unscrupulous ethnic Russians (navalny and udaltsov for example) to do their bidding. Back in 2007, when pro-western parties failed so miserably at the polls, their western handlers decided to diversify their approach. Now they also bankroll several pseudo-nationalist (practically neo-nazi) and left-wings movements. Not suprisingly, they find no trouble collaborating with the known western liberal stooges, despite the fact that their slogans (for example Russia for Russians) are seemingly anti-liberal. You see, it doesn't matter how they attract the followers, as long as they do what they supposed to do - destroy from within. It also doesn't matter that they enjoy so little popular support. In the Orwellian virtual reality of Fox News, CNN, Google, Twitter and so on it will look like a "popular uprising of the feedom-loving Russian urban youth and the fledging middle class".
