FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Udaltsov, the leader of a leftist radical group called the Left Front Movement, was leading a march on Saturday to demand president-elect Vladimir Putin’s resignation over alleged vote fraud. He has also voiced direct criticism of Putin, who has served as prime minister since 2008.
Police in St Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod also arrested scores of opposition protesters demanding deep political reforms and a new election.
More than 20,000 protesters attended the rally in central Moscow. The city hall had approved a demonstration of up to 50,000 people.
The turnout was much lower than the crowds in recent protests that followed December’s parliamentary election, which the opposition also claimed it was rigged.
Protests held after parliamentary vote in December attracted up to 100,000 people in the largest discontent in Russia’s post-Soviet history.
Putin, 57, won 64 percent of the vote in Sunday’s presidential election. The victory gives Putin a six-year-long term in the Kremlin. He will swear in as president on May 7.
He also served as president for two consecutive terms from 2000 to 2008 and worked as prime minister from 2008 to 2012.
