| A week after tens of thousands of Russians joined demonstrations in more than 100 cities throughout the country, authorities moved to stem Sunday's rallies before they started, using more aggressive tactics. But thousands came out despite the threat of arrest — the turnout in some Russian cities was believed to be higher than a week ago — boosting the opposition's hope of a sustained movement. The number arrested was the most since the Russian rights group OVD-Info began monitoring protester detentions a decade ago. |
