Putin's 'Soviet' Response to Renewed Protests in Russia

On Febuary 4th over 120,000 Muscovites filled the streets of Bolshaya Yakimanka, Malyi Kamennyi Bridge, and Bolotnaya Square protesting Vladimir Putin's rule in Russia. These protesters demanded the release of political prisoners, registration of opposition parties, and the holding of free and fair parliamentary and presidential elections. http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/blog/vladimir-kara-murza/putins-soviet-response-renewed-protests-russia
