This authority created imitation of a very important institution which is named 'free elections'. It's not free and it's not elections: this is imitation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eNemtsov, who is one of the co-chairs of the People's Freedom Party along with Kasyanov and Vladimir Ryzhkov explained why he spoiled his ballot:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We came here to protest against this farce, against this fraud, against the stealing of the people's vote. Since this morning we have received information about falsifications, about this charade, from everywhere. Journalists are already being arrested and popular websites such as (the radio station) Ekho Moskvy are no longer functioning.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough Putin and his United Russia party have dominated Russian politics for more than a decade, popular discontent appears to be growing with Putin's strongman style, widespread corruption among officials and the widening gap between ordinary Russians and the country's super-rich. \u003cbr/\u003eUnited Russia holds a two-thirds majority in the outgoing State Duma. \u003cbr/\u003eBut a survey in November by the independent Levada Center polling agency indicated the party could get only about 53 percent of the vote in this election, depriving it of the number of seats necessary to change the constitution unchallenged.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin wants United Russia to do well in the parliamentary election to help pave the way for his return to the presidency in a vote now three months away.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has warned that a parliament with a wide array of parties would lead to political instability and claiming that Western governments want to undermine the election.\u003cbr/\u003eOnly seven parties have been allowed to field candidates for parliament this year, while the most vocal opposition groups have been denied registration and barred from campaigning.\u003cbr/\u003eUnited Russia's dominance of politics has induced a grudging sense of impotence among many in the country of 143 (m) million.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Moscow, local resident Polina Gusarova said,\" Today we're seeing a violation of our constitutional right to vote against someone and of our right to vote for the party we want. We have been given a limited list (of candidates) and so we're against such an election.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThere are around 110 (m) million eligible voters in Russia and turnout in many areas appeared low on December 4th. \u003cbr/\u003eIlya Yashin, a Russian opposition activist arrested on December 6th with about 300 other protesters in Moscow, was sentenced to 15 days in jail on Tuesday for disobeying police.\u003cbr/\u003eHis lawyer said the charges were \"based on controversial evidence presented by two eyewitnesses, who are police officers who allegedly prepared two reports and explanations which appear to be identical, down to the last comma.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnother opposition activist, Alexei Navalny, was seen being taken into court on December 6th and was expecting a judgment.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, thousands of police and Interior Ministry troops patrolled central Moscow - an apparent attempt to deter any further protests a day after a rally against vote fraud and corruption caught Russian authorities by surprise.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protest came after widespread reports of voting fraud in December 4th's parliamentary election, which saw a reduction in the number of seats held by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party, United Russia.\u003cbr/\u003ePolice clashed with demonstrators protesting vote fraud in Moscow and at least two other major Russian cities on December 6th, as anger boiled over against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his ruling United Russia party.\u003cbr/\u003eAt least 250 people were detained by police at a protest in central Moscow, where flare-type fireworks were thrown at a group of pro-Kremlin youth, a police spokesman said.\u003cbr/\u003eAmong the detained was Sergei Mitrokhin, deputy head of the social-democratic Yabloko party; Boris Nemtsov, a leader of the liberal opposition; prominent radical Eduard Limonov and Oleg Orlov, head of the renowned human rights group Memorial.\u003cbr/\u003eRussian news agencies reported about 200 were arrested at a similar attempt to hold an unsanctioned rally in St. Petersburg and another 25 protesters were arrested in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was the second consecutive night of large protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, an unusually sustained show of indignation that came after widespread reports of vote fraud in December 4th's parliamentary election. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to preliminary results, Putin's dominant United Russia party lost a large share of the seats it had held in the State Duma but still kept a majority of seats.\u003cbr/\u003eOpponents say even that reduced presence came because of vote fraud. \u003cbr/\u003eLocal and international election observers reported widespread ballot-stuffing and irregularities in the vote count.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protesters appear to be both angered by the reported fraud and energised by the vote's show of declining support for Putin and his party, which have strongly overshadowed all other political forces in Russia for a dozen years.\u003cbr/\u003eBut pro-Kremlin supporters also put on two large rallies in Moscow, attracting thousands and showing vehement divisions in Russian society.\u003cbr/\u003eArrests were made in St. Petersburg on December 10th as tens of thousands turned out across the country to protest against alleged electoral fraud and against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his party. \u003cbr/\u003eThe rallies across the country were the largest public show of discontent in post-Soviet Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eIn St Petersburg a man was seen being bundled by police in to a van, as he shouted \"Help me!\".  \u003cbr/\u003eElsewhere large crowds were gathered, some wearing white ribbons, which are being used as a symbol of the protest against alleged election rigging. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Moscow, some converged on the city's Revolution Square to show their support for the protest. \u003cbr/\u003eOpposition leader, Boris Nemtsov, was one of those in taking part in mass demonstrations on December 10th. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Our main demand is that the fraudulent elections be cancelled, our main demand is the immediate resignation of the swindler (election commission chief Vladimir) Churov,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We also demand an investigation into the criminal activity of the election commission, registration of opposition parties, abolishment of censorship and organisation of new elections,\" Nemtsov added. \u003cbr/\u003eThe protests 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 term in office. \u003cbr/\u003eThe public outpouring challenges his image, supported by state-controlled TV channels, as a man who won the affection of most Russians.\u003cbr/\u003eThat image was undercut by December 4th's parliamentary elections, during which his United Party narrowly retained a majority of seats, but lost the unassailable two-thirds majority it 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/\u003eThe popular uprisings that brought down governments in Georgia in 2003, in Ukraine the next year, and in Egypt last spring all were significantly boosted by demonstrators being able to establish round-the-clock presences, notably in Cairo's Tahrir Square and the massive tent camp on Kiev's main avenue. \u003cbr/\u003eRussian police would hardly tolerate anything similar.\u003cbr/\u003eOpposition figures indicated on December 9th that the next step would be to call another protest in Moscow for next weekend and make it even bigger. But staged events at regular intervals may be less effective than daily spontaneous protests.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia's opposition also is vulnerable to attacks on the websites and social media that have nourished the protests. \u003cbr/\u003eDuring the week, an official of Vkontakte, a Russian version of Facebook, reported pressure from the FSB, the KGB's main successor, to block access to opposition groups, but said his company refused.\u003cbr/\u003eOn election day, the websites of a main independent radio station and the country's only independent election-monitoring group fell victim to denial-of-service hacker attacks.\u003cbr/\u003eTens of thousands of Muscovites thronged to a city square to protest against alleged electoral fraud and against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his party on December 10th.\u003cbr/\u003eDemonstrators also gathered in rallies across the vast country, the largest public show of discontent in post-Soviet Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe public outpouring challenges Putin's image, supported by state-controlled TV channels, as a man who won the affection of most Russians.\u003cbr/\u003eThat image was undercut by December 4th's parliamentary elections, during which his United Party narrowly retained a majority of seats, but lost the unassailable two-thirds majority it 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 have acted as a catalyst for long-simmering discontent of many Russians.\u003cbr/\u003eSome of the crowd gathered on Bolotnaya Square, on an island in the Moscow River adjacent to the Kremlin, carried white flowers.  Others wore white ribbons as a symbol of protest against allegations of vote rigging. \u003cbr/\u003eOpposition leader Mikhail Kasyanov, who took part in the protest, said the Russian public had \"run out of patience\" with the current government. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Especially in large cities where people are well-educated, well-informed, who understand they are not ready to tolerate such lawlessness when they are ignored and their votes are cynically stolen,\" added Kasyanov, who is also a former prime minister. \u003cbr/\u003eBy the time the rally started in Bolotnaya, the square and adjacent streets were packed shoulder-to-shoulder with protesters braving intermittent wind-blown snow.\u003cbr/\u003eAddressing the crowd, Grigory Yavlinsky said his opposition party Yabloko is \"announcing a campaign for constitutional and lawful dismissal of the Putin group from power\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe Moscow rally, which lasted about three hours, was so sprawling that unbiased crowd estimates were difficult to make. \u003cbr/\u003ePolice put the attendance at 25,000; organisers claimed up to 150,000.\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, either in the Kremlin or the White House (government headquarters),\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eThe protests in Moscow and others cities across Russia 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 term in office. \u003cbr/\u003eRussian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on November 27th sternly warned the West against interfering in Russia's elections in a speech before thousands of cheering supporters as he formally launched his presidential bid.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin, who stepped down in 2008 after two presidential terms but kept his hold on power, announced in September that he intended to reclaim the top job in 2012 and on November 27th was formally nominated by his United Russia party.\u003cbr/\u003ePutin said that Russia wants to develop cooperation with the West, but strongly warned it against paying too much attention to the Kremlin's critics and offering them financial support.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Representatives of some foreign states gather people, to whom they give money, the so-called grant receivers, give them instructions and guidance for what 'work' they need to do to influence the election campaign in our country,\" Putin said. \u003cbr/\u003e\"That's a wasted effort, as we say 'like throwing money to the wind',\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia - Leading activist held after anti-govt protest broken up\u003cbr/\u003eMoscow - 24 Oct 2011\u003cbr/\u003e1.
