Tens of thousands of people in over a dozen Russian cities defied heavy police presence Saturday to protest the arrest of Alexei Navalny, a leading political opposition figure to Putin. Navalny’s poisoning, recovery, return to Russia, and his organization’s viral videos are turning him into a “household name” in Russia, according to PBS NewsHour’s Special Correspondent Ryan Chilcote.
In consideration of where these protests may lead to in any short term it may help, to put the protests in more context, to look at the last pseudo-referendum Putin engineered. See again:
Putin’s moves leave Russian opposition with few options [...] Vladimir Putin secures constitutional changes allowing him to rule until 2036 – what this means for Russia [...] The leading opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, called the official results “fake and a huge lie”. Street protests on the final day of voting were few and small. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=159658173
