Protests in Moscow Metro Trying to Destabilize Russia
As witnessed last year those Russian protests are heavily and highly timed the more i see of these protests while there is another American NGO USAID funded civil war happening in Sryia could these protests that had occurred last year and are again reoccurring again today.
These protests have only one purpose and goal that is destabilization as it was done in 2000 and in Egypt, Libya, Sryia.
In Moscow the usual subject protesters demanded that Putin and his reelected goverment release the Free Pussy Riot, but the question is just who are the opposition in Russia? the western mainstream news outlets talking heads had already asked the same following question.
At the same western mainstream news outlets with the likes of CNN,BBC, aljazeera,telegraph,guardian and other news outlets. Previously had claimed that the opposition had supporters around 50,000 but as seen with Sryia and Libya protest we cant always rely by the claims that on the western mainstream news outlets makes, there own reporting speaks for itself.
Questionable timing ,Claims made by the opposition.
Interestingly enough these protests that are happening now in Moscow are very questionable due to the fact that we just witnessed selected Islamic countries raging there vents towards the American agenda and its foreign policy which is why i highly doubt it was really about the movie.
As reported by our MSM today that the opposition claims that they would reach atleast yet again with the claims of 50,000 people.
"The opposition expects 50,000 people to march down a central Moscow boulevard near the Kremlin on Saturday to urge Putin to resign, resuming protests that began after a disputed parliamentary election won by his party last December.
From SkinHeads to The Communists and to the Far left are the Opposition directed by former Serbian Otpor members, now aiding the Russian coded Otpor

Waving nationalist flags, brandishing placards calling for early elections or wearing T-shirts in support of jailed members rock band Pussy Riot, the diverse groups of protestors began marching with the chant "1-2-3, Putin go!".
Police said that 5,000 people had already joined the protest but organiser and far-left leader Sergei Udaltsov said that at least 15,000 were involved in the early stages.leader Sergei Udaltsov, nationalist, Trained by America.
is a radical Russian communist youth group. Its website describes it as an "independent youth organization, entering the all-Russian public political motion." Its "territory of action" is Russia,
Its "territory of action" is Russia, which it insists is still the heart and soul of "the republic of the USSR." The AKM's ideology is Marxism-Leninism and it forms part of the Left Front alliance. The unofficial leader of the AKM is Sergei Udaltsov (Сергей Удальцов), who has been arrested several times for protesting against Vladimir Putin's regime
The name of the organization is the backronym of AKM, a model of the well-known Kalashnikov assault rifle. Its organizational structure uses military terminology: battalion, brigade. Most cities will house an "отделение" or squad of AKM, with several squads forming a battalion. Currently battalions exist in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Kagarlitsky quotes a young AKM radical as shouting: "We will turn Moscow into Paris!" It is unclear how much support the AKM currently has from other organizations in Russia, or whether it truly plans on becoming a vanguard party.
In October 2008, the AKM joined the Left Front, an alliance of revolutionary Marxist and anarchist groups.
From the radical communists to the far left wing groups these are whom that America and Sen John McCain wants them to led Russia if they re copy what had happened in Sryia, Libya i assume these radical groups that are in Russia and had been trained by America and they are awaiting the results from the manufactured Arab Spring and the selected countries.
We should be extremely concerned if Sergei Udaltsov is not the only the leader of an extreme far left wing movement but also if his in charge of an armed splinter radical Russian group.
From rnw it was claimed.
Thousands are expected to attend opposition rallies across Russia on Saturday, with tensions running high over criminal probes into protest leaders and the jailing of punk group Pussy Riot.
More than 16,000 people had signed up on popular social networking sites by Friday to attend the the "March of Millions" rally in Moscow, which the city authorities have sanctioned for up to 25,000 people.
Smaller protests were expected in Russia's second largest city of Saint Petersburg and in regional cities from the western enclave of Kaliningrad to the Far Eastern port of Vladivostok.Russia is a country of 141 million people and the mainstream news outlets had claimed that the Russian opposition has the dwindling support of the general public.
"One of the leaders of the United Russia party has argued that Russia's opposition has dwindling public support and that Saturday's March of Millions protests in Moscow proved this."
"Left Front party leader Sergei Udaltsov and one of the leaders of the Solidarnost (Solidarity) coalition, Boris Nemtsov, represent directly opposite views, Isayev claimed. This means that "the population will stop supporting rallies."
The western mainstream news outlets again as they as stated last year claimed that the protests were in the millions
From left-wing, liberal, nationalist opposition wings to communists These are the Opposition that are protesting Putin and who want take over.
To my surprising the western mainstream news outlets with the likes of the Ukraine news oulets have so far refused to tell its audience and readers that majority of the protesters are nothing then communists and Nazis.
The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is a political party in Russia. Since its founding in 1991, it has been led by the charismatic and controversial figure Vladimir Zhirinovsky. Opposing both communism and the "wild" capitalism of the 1990s, the party scored a major success in the 1993 Russian Duma elections, receiving a plurality vote.
In the elections in 2007, the party received 8.14% of the vote, giving it 40 of the 450 seats in the State Duma. In the most recent 2011 elections, they increased their percentage to 11.4%. The party's brand and organization are centered around the personality of its leader Zhirinovsky. Despite the party's name, it is frequently described as "neither liberal nor democratic.
The other opposition group are the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the other opposition group the western liberals.
But even with these opposition groups are these really the best choices for the future of Russia? Russia to be controlled by nationalists,radicals, Nazis.
It almost reminds us so well at work that how John McCain and his Friends how they did it in Egypt by bringing in the Muslim Brotherhood into power.
After Yeltsin screwed everything up and Putin has made such efforts to restore both glory and stability, I find it hard to believe that everyone is so unhappy over there.
The Number Game How Many protesters were actually there?
If you read the kyivpost and the western mainstream news outlets sources there usual reporting is one sided and just as before from last year they claimed that there weree at least 7,000 police officers present at the protest rallies.
The mainstream news outlets still maintains the narrative claim that the 100,000 to 500,000 people did came to the protest rallies.
after a summer lull drew tens of thousands of people, determined to show that opposition sentiment remains strong despite Kremlin efforts to muzzle dissent.
The street protests broke out after a December parliamentary election won by Putin's party through what observers said was widespread fraud, and they grew in strength ahead of Putin's effectively unopposed election in March to a third presidential term.
Huge rallies of more than 100,000 people even in bitter winter cold gave many protesters hope for democratic change. These hopes have waned, but opposition supporters appear ready to dig in for a long fight.
Leftists, liberals and nationalists mixed with students, teachers, gay activists and others as they marched down Moscow's tree-lined boulevards chanting "Russia without Putin!" and "We are the power here!" Many wore the white ribbons that have become the symbol of the protest movement.
Sergei Udaltsov, was detained along with a handful of his supporters when he tried to lead a group of about 50 on a new protest march.
Alexei Navalny, a charismatic anti-corruption crusader and a popular blogger, remains the rock star among the protest leaders. When he took the stage, young people in the crowd held up their phones to record the moment.

"Screenshot taken from the National Endowment for Democracy website featuring US funding for the NGO “Golos.” Golos allegedly was searching for “election irregularities.” Golos and other US-backed NGOs and opposition parties are now attempting to trigger an “Arab Spring” in Russia."
Navalny urged the demonstrators to show resolve and keep up the pressure on the Kremlin with more street protests.
This line about the protesters from the news article is rather interesting it states a lot more in detail, for insistence.
The rally appeared as big as the last major protest in June, which also attracted tens of thousands. More of the demonstrators, however, came not as members of the varied political organizations that make up the protest movement, but with groups of friends and co-workers, some of them organizing on social networks.
"however, came not as members of the varied political organizations that make up the protest movement, but with groups of friends and co-workers, some of them organizing on social networks."
This report is from ria.ru
"While some observers expect tens of thousands to attend, only around 3,200 people have confirmed their attendance on the event’s Facebook page."
According to the daily times of Pakistan the moment they started quoting an AFP estimate for the actually estimated amount of protesters whom were there, the AFP estimate.
Some 40,000 people turned out for the “March of Millions”, according to an AFP estimate, in line with organisers’ expectations but down on the massive first protests that first rocked Moscow in December and rallied over 100,000.
Police and organizers gave vastly different estimates, accusing each other of not knowing how to count. Police said that 14,000 people joined the protest, but organizer and far-left leader Sergei Udaltsov saw at least 150,000. Waving nationalist flags, brandishing placards calling for early elections or wearing T-shirts in support of jailed punk band Pussy Riot, protestors hoped to build on the anger created by fraud-tainted elections and Putin’s 12-year grip on power.On Sat Reuters claimed the opposition had shown its strength by claiming that 50,000 people had attracted at the protest rallies.
Witnesses said opposition leaders appeared to have achieved their goal of attracting at least 50,000 people, enough to maintain the momentum of their nine-month-old movement but almost certainly too few to increase alarm in the Kremlin.In the same Reuters article it had claimed that the poll ratings for Putin were falling however without adding any references nor mentions of which poll had showed that Putin poll were falling.
Even so, opinion polls show Putin's ratings, although still high by Western standards, are falling.It claims that the opinion polls in Russia show Putin's ratings are still high by western standards are falling without referencing to which Russian opinion poll had shown that Putin were falling.
The article mentions who are the opposition.
"There was also more focus on social problems than at previous protests, and more communists marched this time with nationalists, liberals, gay rights campaigners and leftists."Russia's Opposition Divided
In a AFP article it has stated that the Russian opposition remained divided after the protests came to a close at 10:00 pm it went further on to state that the opposition were not getting the strength neither the support they were expecting.
Russian opposition leaders argued Sunday over the turnout and success of the latest rally defying President Vladimir Putin, after tens of thousands marched through central Moscow.
The rally on Saturday, called the March of Millions, featured playful T-shirts and slogans mocking Putin and calling for the release of jailed punk band Pussy Riot, but crowds thinned long before it ended at 10:00 pm.
Police put numbers at around 14,000, down from 18,000 at a previous rally in June. But rally organizers gave varying estimates of up to 150,000.
"Prominent protest organiser Sergei Udaltsov of the radical Left Front movement put numbers far higher, at 150,000, but argued the rally had failed to make any political impact."Protest organizer and leader of the radical Far left movement claimed to an reporter that he had witnessed 150,000 people at the protest.
The prominent far left proclaimed on twitter that the protest is not declining and claimed that its the the authorities are ignoring the actually numbers but these 150,000 figure count came from, Sergei Udaltsov.
"put numbers far higher, at 150,000, but argued the rally had failed to make any political impact."
Sergei Udaltsov as seen in the picture his rally was small centered so where has Sergei Udaltsov came up with the 150,000 if there weren't that many protesters? the reasoning for that is because the number came from Sergei.
The number that Sergei made up with no other sources then himself.
"Police put numbers at around 14,000, down from 18,000 at a previous rally in June. But rally organisers gave varying estimates of up to 150,000."
" There were not more than 20,000 people at the march to the rally," wrote Vedomosti."
The Russian Opposition remains divided after the protests had ended last weekend, with no clear objective on what would the opposition do after and if Putin is gone. Since the protests of last the opposition which is funded through by USAID.
Have not proposed any policy chances regarding there own platform which only calls for Putin to step down.
With USAID closing down its operations for influencing inside Russia, the opposition now no longer have any means of funding which they can get. For there operations inside Russia which are directed by America and its NGO counter parts.
In mid-January 2012, just days after Michael McFaul arrived in Moscow to begin his stint as US Ambassador to Russia, Russian opposition leaders lined up outside the US Embassy (Russian) to meet him in a bizarre confab that reeked of both treason and duplicity.
Photos: Caught red-handed – Russia’s opposition, long accused by the Kremlin of being foreign funded, and who have well documented ties to the US State Department, are caught filing into the US Embassy in Moscow in January of 2012, just days after agitator Michael McFaul began his stint as US Ambassador to Russia. (click on image to enlarge)
Approached by journalists inquiring as to why they had all come to greet the US Ambassador, their responses ranged from silence to dismissive gibes. Later, the group of opposition leaders emerged responding only with “Вы сурковская пропаганда,” or “you’re Surkov’s propaganda,” meaning the journalists represented government efforts to undermine their work and legitimacy. It is a common response given by Russia’s opposition members when media attempts to question them about their increasingly overt ties to Wall Street and London.
Present at the US Embassy confab were regular mainstays of the Western media’s coverage of anti-Vladimir Putin protests, including Boris Nemtsov, Yevgeniya Chirikova of the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded “Strategy 31,” Lev Ponomarev of the NED, Ford Foundation, Open Society, and USAID-funded Moscow Helsinki Group, and Liliya Shibanova of NED-funded GOLOS, an allegedly “independent” election monitoring group that served as the primary source of accusations of voting fraud against Putin’s United Russia party. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time both words and cash had been exchanged between the Russian opposition and the US State Department, but is perhaps the most overt example of such flagrant conspiring yet.

listing GOLOS as a recipient of NED funding, which in turn is provided

US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul himself, is a card carrying member of both Freedom House and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED),
two organizations notorious for extraterritorial meddling in the
foreign affairs of sovereign nations and demonstratively funding,
supporting, and directing Russia’s so-called opposition. It was
accurately predicted in October 2011′s, “Agitator Nominated for Next US “Ambassador” to Russia,”
that McFaul’s primary goal would be to continue with America’s
“disingenuous front of “resetting” with Russia, while simultaneously
subverting the Russian government with US-funded political unrest.” It
appears that McFaul has begun his work in earnest.
Despite damning exposure of the Russian opposition’s ties to Wall Street and London, the Western media, even as recently as this weekend during protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inauguration, insists that such connections are the creation of Kremlin-controlled propaganda. The Associated Press in their article titled, “Putin Returns to Presidency in a Changed Russia,” accuses Putin of portraying the protesters as “in the pay of the Americans and intent on bringing about a revolution
that would take Russia back to the instability and humiliations of the
1990s.” AP adds, “with Kremlin-controlled television still the main source of information for most Russians, many believed him.”
In reality, Putin’s assessment of the opposition is verified by the National Endowment for Democracy’s own website, the “About Us” pages of the opposition’s various websites, and confirmed by confabs conducted by the opposition themselves with foreign interests in foreign embassies on Russian soil. And indeed, many of those leading Russia’s opposition are members and representatives of the corrupt oligarchies that plundered Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990′s. The treason is so overt, it begs the question as to whether the United States has indeed become this recklessly brazen, this desperate, or playing at a broader geopolitical gambit yet revealed.
With Russian opposition leaders on video climbing over themselves to get into the US Embassy to confer with regime-change specialist (Russian), US Ambassador Michael McFaul, and as their funding and affiliations become more widely known to the public, their work and legitimacy will be undermined by public awareness of the facts, not “Surkov’s propaganda.”

And of course who doesn't love some little Mainstream Media Bias?“It is a scary situation,” says Masha Gessen, an expert on the reign of Vladimir Putin, who won with 64 per cent of Sunday’s vote, according to official reports. “There were webcams in all the voting precincts and people spent hours watching them. The vote fixing was brazen, and a lot of people are upset.”
The rally, which drew about 20,000 people, marked a change of tactics for the opposition, which has been looking for ways to maintain the momentum of its demonstrations that flared in December. Alexei Navalny, a popular blogger and protest leader, was the first to suggest that supporters remain on Moscow’s streets and squares to turn up the heat on Putin.
Yeah and many people in North America and others in Europe doubt the legitimacy of Harper, David Cameron,Obama, Clinton and GW Bush do i need to go on with the list? i believe Canada and America, and even the youth in Europe will start protesting agaisnt our own Fixed,Rigged elections as well.Moscow-based Gessen — author of The Man Without a Face, which details Putin’s rise to power — said the danger of confrontation has risen because of Putin’s failure to accept the fact that many people doubt his legitimacy.
On the comment section one user proclaimed that the Russia will go into Civil War without realizing the simple fact which is.
The Russian people arent like the ones in the middle east countries maybe talis.briedis should look at our own fake elections before looking elsewhere, talk about mainstream news hypocrisy.
Here is his quote.
64% is not a majority in country where 140% votes! And I am fairly certain that for this election,voter activity was closer to 200% So where is the victory? The only victory is that old school communism still holds reign superior!! Russia may just devolve into civil war also. Just like Egypt, Syria, Lybia.....
Sir talis.briedis i could say the same thing about the Canadian elections, the American elections, and of course the European elections, because i highly doubt that our own elections are any better or fair, nor freer.
Read up on Mr. Putin. He's not as bad as the western media likes to portray, and comes from extremely humble beginnings. As well the only viable candidate running against him is ten times worse regarding human rights etc. Don't take my word for it, just don't take the globes as well. Do a little searching.
If you dont believe me you want to know who the so called Anti-Putin Protesters are why just look at the image i have posted in the blog after the searching i have done.
The Ant-Putin Protesters are Russian Hardliners ten times worse then Putin, I certainly hope not TPTB will try to create a "Russian Spring" situation over there.

At least 28,000 people turned out in the cagspital, according to the Russian interior ministry, but rally organisers said the true number was around 120,000.In truth the real number was 30,000 not 120,000 as the rally organisers claim.
Mr Navalny, a prominent anti-corruption blogger who was jailed for 15 days over a street protest just after the elections, greeted the crowd with the words "Greetings to the Banderlog from the net hamsters [internet activists]".More Info On Alexey Navalny
Navalny was a World Fellow at Yale University's "World Fellows Program" aimed at "creating a global network of emerging leaders and to broaden international understanding" in 2010.
Whats The World Fellows Program?
The Yale World Fellows Program is a program run by Yale University that seeks to build a network of emerging global leaders and broaden international understanding at Yale. Every year, the program selects approximately fifteen highly accomplished men and women representing a diverse set of countries from throughout the world and brings them to spend a semester at Yale University to explore critical global issues and contribute to international awareness and dialogue within Yale University.
On the occasion of Yale's tercentenary, in 2001, University President Richard C. Levin launched a number of internationalization initiatives aimed at enhancing Yale's global footprint. The Yale World Fellows Program was among these, and it has since emerged as the University's signature international leadership training program – with a steadily growing global reputation for excellence – as well as a popular, broadly participatory program for the entire Yale community. Yale welcomed the first class of World Fellows to New Haven in the fall of 2002, and now boasts more than 150 emerging leaders world wide, representing 74 countries. These include a diversity of committed innovators, from top government officials and members of parliament to on-the-ground activists and investigative journalists to ground-breaking artists and next-generation business executives.

While he was running Norilsk Nickel, the company became the world's largest producer of nickel and palladium. He is the former chairman of Polyus Gold, Russia's largest gold producer, and former President of ONEXIM Group. He resigned both positions when he entered politics in June, 2011.
Info on Mikhail_Prokhorov
Grigory Yavlinsky was also seen on the weekend protest rally.
Grigory Yavlinsky Supports Different NGO Groups In Russia
thus building a crucial alliance with environmental NGOs, as well as with human rights organizations, labor unions, women associations, and ethnic minority groups. He was also an uncompromising critic of the Putin government's reforms of the housing and utilities sector and of the energy sector. A number of times, the Yabloko faction in the Duma initiated petitioning campaigns for the resignation of the government. At that time,
* Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, 80, did not attend after all, sending a message of support instead. He later told Moscow Echo radio that Mr Putin should not stand for another term in office.
Of course Mikhail Gorbachev didnt attend the rally why you think a traitor who sold russia and the Soviet Union to the west join the protests? Mikhail Gorbachev spent all of his life hiding into western countries knowing if the traitor comes back to russia they would arrest him.
And This last part is qutie ironic I Wonder if it was Sen John McCain who was the Grandfather Frost.
Saturday's rally in Moscow ended peacefully, with the last speaker a Grandfather Frost (Russian Santa Claus) figure who wished citizens of a "free Russia" a Happy New Year.Free Russia Then What? Turn Russia Into Georgia 2.0?
BBC Lies and Cliams That there is no Leader
However, one of the main problems for the opposition is that there is no single leader able to unite it, our correspondent adds.Makes You wonder if Sen John McCain NGO Group IRI is behind them.
And Finally Who were the protesters?
A total of 22 speakers were lined up for the Moscow rally, with rival opposition figures addressing a crowd which mixed liberals with nationalists. Ah So the Communists now are the liberals and some of the Nazi parties are the fair right nationalists ah ok got it western media thanks for the hint.
So the next time you support such rallies search on the leaders and on who they are and what they want turn your country into.
What it seems to me is that other russian oligarchs are trying to bring putin out of the grand scheme of things, probably for business, while I assume putin is trying to keep russia, for russia, if you know what I mean. the divide in russian politics might be whether to befriend the west or not at this juncture with Iran and what not.
