Today in Moscow the police arrested Pussy Riot members
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, anti-corruption activist Alexander
Navalny, and many others. They were rallying to protest the jail sentences
handed out this weekend to participants in the 2012 anti-Putin protests in
Moscow. Apparently there were similar protests and arrests in St. Petersburg.
So far there are few details, but many of the protesters carried signs
referring to Maidan, where Ukrainians successfully overthrew their president
last week.
