Russia has seen a week of post-election frenzy with protests over allegations of fraud in last Sunday’s poll hitting the streets. On Saturday, the biggest opposition rally in Russia’s recent history passed off peacefully, despite ominous predictions.
According to police estimates, some 25,000 protesters gathered in Moscow alone, while opposition's estimates differ greatly – from 40,000 to 80,000 for the gathering in the capital’s Bolotnaya Square. The rally was held on December 10 between 2 pm and 6 pm MSC.
According to official reports, there were no arrests at the Moscow demonstration.
Other, less massive protests were also held in many other Russian cities, including St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok.
The main demand of the opposition was “the annulment of the election results and the resignation of the Central Election Commission chairman." Protesters vowed to gather again on December 24 if their demands are not heard by the government.
This day of discontent came after a rather intense week for opposition forces in Russia. Protests on Monday and Tuesday, right after the parliamentary elections, saw hundreds of people arrested.

Jewish, especially exiled Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe and Russia should stop meddling in the affairs that concern eastern Europeans and Russians. Sure Golos means “Voice” in Russian, but it also means “Exile” in Yiddish. Look up Jacob Golos (born Yakov Naumovich Reizen; 1889 -1943), who was a Ukrainian-born Jewish Bolshevik revolutionary. Reizen joined the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) in 1904, becoming active in the group's Bolshevik wing headed by V.I. Lenin (also Jewish as was Leon Trotsky). He then became a secret police operative on behalf of the USSR in the USA. A founding member of the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA), around 1930 Golos became involved in the covert work of Jewish Soviet intelligence agencies, including the procurement of American passports by means of fraudulent documentation and the recruitment and coordination of the activities of a broad network of agents. He changed his name to Golos because of his involvement with a pro-Bolshevik daily newspaper published in New York, Russky Golos or The Russian Voice. So, the so called independent election monitoring agency that's making accusations of election fraud in Russia is just that, Jewish trouble-making to aggravate tensions between the East and the West as they did during the Cold War which was coined by a Jewish named Walter Lippmann, as was the idea of Communism by the Jewish Karl Marx.
