For most observers, the current state of the Russian opposition is simultaneously despondent and hopeful, defeated and resurgent.

The demonstrations were catalyzed by Alexei Navalny’s exposé of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s offshore accounts, yachts and vineyards that he secretly owns at a time of economic decline and expenditure cuts.
