Wide of street\u003cbr/\u003eTens of thousands of Muscovites thronged to a square across the river from the Kremlin on Saturday to protest against alleged electoral fraud and urge an end to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's rule.\u003cbr/\u003eThe demands were repeated at other rallies across this vast country in the largest public show of discontent in post-Soviet Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe demonstrations come three months before Putin, who was president in 2000-2008 and effectively remained the country's leader while prime minister, is to seek a third presidential term. \u003cbr/\u003eThe massive outpouring of public anger challenges his image, supported by state-controlled TV channels, as a man backed by the majority of Russians.\u003cbr/\u003eThat image was undercut by last Sunday's parliamentary elections, during which his United Party narrowly retained a majority of seats, but lost the unassailable two-thirds majority it had held in the previous parliament. \u003cbr/\u003eEven that reduced performance was unearned, inflated by massive vote fraud, the opposition says, citing reports by local and international monitors of widespread violations. \u003cbr/\u003eThe reports of vote-rigging and the party's loss of seats acted as a catalyst for long-simmering discontent of many Russians.\u003cbr/\u003eProtests took place in more than 50 other cities from the Pacific Coast to the southwest, including a large demonstration estimated by police at 7,000 people in St. Petersburg.\u003cbr/\u003eLess than 100 demonstrators were reported arrested nationwide, far fewer than the hundreds taken into custody at smaller protests in the first days after the December 4 national election. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice, who normally crack down fast and hard on any unauthorised gathering, even allowed a few hundred leftist radicals to conduct an unsanctioned protest on Moscow's Revolution Square just outside the Red Square.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Moscow rally, which lasted about three hours, was so sprawling that unbiased crowd estimates were difficult to make. Police put the attendance at 25,000; organisers claimed up to 150,000.\u003cbr/\u003eWhatever the precise number, it was a show of dismay that gave pause to the ruling elite. \u003cbr/\u003eAs the rally came to an end, opposition leader Boris Nemtsov said it was \"brilliant\". \u003cbr/\u003e\"We haven't had this for twenty years. I think we shall win. If he (Prime Minister Vladimir Putin) doesn't meet our demands we will come here on the 24th (of December). There is no way out: either he fulfils our demands, or he won't stay,\" Nemtsov said.\u003cbr/\u003eState-controlled TV channels that usually ignore or deride the opposition gave notable airtime to the protests.       \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials in many cities, including Moscow, gave permission for the protests. \u003cbr/\u003eBut in what appeared to be an attempt to prevent young people from attending the protest, Moscow's school system declared Saturday afternoon a mandatory extra school day for grades 9 to 11. \u003cbr/\u003eStudents were told about the decision only on Friday, news reports said.\u003cbr/\u003eOpposition figures indicated Friday that the next step would be to call another protest in Moscow for next weekend and make it even bigger. \u003cbr/\u003eBut staged events at regular intervals may be less effective than daily spontaneous protests.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
