“White ribbons” +”fair” Russia. I think we now this party is a mouth piece for the ultra nationalists and this cannot be good for security of Russia. and why they use “English” in their anti-Putin slogans? Who are they speaking with?

Is the job of the opposition to oppose - as Putin said it. The question only is what methods they use and how far they go. The methods of H Clinton´s "colour revolutions" would most certainly fail there, thus we see also very powerful, much larger, rallies in support of Putin :)

I phoned my friend in Moscow asking about this "Fair Election" drive.
He heard nothing about it but promissed to find out and phone me back.
He phoned me back and said he could not find anybody who even heard about it. Interesting??

Misinformation should be regarded as criminal offence

I Agree misinformation should be a criminal offence, then the ‘opposition’ of liars, deceivers and paid agents together with US owned and controlled Golos and other associated western owned and controlled NGOs would find their leaders behind bars for the WMD type internet fraud and misinformation they carried out regarding the last elections to please their US owners.

Few hundred people is all it takes to cause a lots of hardship and disrupt daily life of commuters,  commercial vehicles,  ambulances, fire engines.  

 

What is wrong with this picture?   Apparently,  I do not see any PROGRAM comming out of these "opposition"  groups.   What are their ideas on economy,  infrastructure, education, health?   Do they even bother to come up with a plan to present to the voters?  Apparently, this is no longer necessary to become an "opposition".   They just need to announce stunts they will perform,  sabotage traffic,  declare their "color",  come up with the plans to get into media --- like with semi-naked women in Belorus or Ukraine.  

 

This is not about political opposition, but about spitting on the country as a whole.  I do not doubt that there are many, many  problems in Russia, as there are everywhere else.   But while in New York and other US cities protesters have a clear political program identifying the criminal banking speculation for the collapse of our financial system and real estate markets that caused millions to lose their homes --- in Russia protesters just want to party.  

 

Again, what is wrong with this picture?

I love how all the commentators have to find a way to make this article anti-USA. @New World Order --- they only have signs in English? What are you talking about? 95% of the signs are in Russian. Also, it's good to have English signs so that the rest of the world can read and understand the protests.

I noticed that the most Russians are good informed. This is why Vladimir Putin wil be the next man. He is strong, well educated and not under the influence of the Zionist conspiracy. Thes are the same as the ones who started the revolution in 1917 and brought enslavement for millions of people. From a Moscow friend I heared that the opositian is financed by the US. I believe this and this is obvious that these Zionists from the US and Brittain will have there spy's in place. Mr Putin your guys are able to see this and do what you need to do. These Zionist will whatever the results of the votings do, they will protest and will try to de-stabelize your country. So that you will have your hands full and this give them the opening to attack Syria and Iran at the same time. Beware of this.
Don't let this American democracy ever enter your country. So help my God.

Hmm. Oh english signs for the rest of the world. Why. Why they should care about the rest of the world? Thats no reason.. I am n Austrian young guy and i even think that this is a US campain. Because when i will protest in Austria i make german signs even the most austrians can speak english. But the rest of the world should translate it in their speech if they want read it.i am not pro putin because i don't know much about him (only what austria media says me) But i am PRO RUSSIA because i think you are the only country who can destroy this duty system what US and EU had brought to us.
