After the electoral victory of Vladimir Putin, the opposition added its voice with protests on Pushkinskaya Square in Moscow.
The amount of protesters was 10 times less than a month earlier, in the bitter cold, reaching –20 degrees Celsius. According to various sources, between 5,000 and 20,000 people came out to Pushkinskaya Square. Those in attendance of the Anti-Putin rallies included residents of Moscow, who call themselves the “creative class” – the intelligentsia and the middle class, who are actively against the Putin regime.
