IN RUSSIA, THOUSANDS PROTEST PUTIN, VOTE FRAUD. “Tens 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 Saturday, and demonstrators gathered in other rallies across the vast country, the largest public show of discontent in post-Soviet Russia. CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata reports there have been clashes in St. Petersburg, with riot police dragging away protesters. Demonstrations in Moscow have so far been peaceful but they are growing in number and anger.”

This in spite of the fact that the government has imprisoned the blogger who called for them, and opened school today to keep students away from the marches. Can you say “running scared?”
