Protest in Russia against Vladimir Putin



Opposition to Vladimir Putin is growing in Russia

 One of the biggest stories of the day is that thousands of people have taken to the streets of Moscow in protest against Vladimir Putin and his government.

Many people in Russia feel that the police and the government lie to them on a regular basis and that Putins instatement as prime minister was the result of a rigged election.

Several leading activists houses were raided by Russian police only yesterday which has turned out to be a contributing factor to the support of the movement. Protestors were heard shouting "Putin is a thief" and "Russia will be free."
