Народу на митинг пришло действительно очень много. Причем контингент был совершенно разный: от школьников и студентов, до людей в возрасте. Тут были и националисты, и монархисты, и преданные приверженцы различных политических партий, но  в основном это были обычные люди

"Как здорово, что все мы здесь, сегодня собрались".
И каков результат? Покричали, разошлись и ... все? Ах, да! Приняли декларацию. Вы реально верите, что изложенные требования будут выполнены? =)
Собрать стотысячную акцию, увести ее из центра в загон и выпустить пар в свисток - это позор! Позор не участникам, конечно, а организаторам. Но и участникам радоваться причин нет - они поучаствовали в спектакле с дружелюбными ментами. =)

Ну основным-то лозунгом был "Перевыборы", это и в резолюции шло первым пунктом. Но Путина и правда все вспоминали, не сказать чтоб добрым словом:)

Putin

What to say?... Maybe it is not a perfect world and that is the point at this time why Mr Putin fits. Mr Putin maybe not every body's cup of tea but from a person who has seen Russia with and without him I would suggest that both he and Russia has something to benefit from him serving another term in office. Democracy is a fantastic thing but without control it is called anarchy and different societies need different levels of control in the same way that an immature teenager needs more control than a mature adult. Russian with respect is still having growing pains from the regime change of communism and needs nurturing probably a bit more than other democracies that exist else where and Mr Putin to be frank is the guy to do it. He faced off the oligarchs that threatened to use their ill gotten gains for power play and has step by step taken Russian into the 21st century albeit with maybe a little more control than UK but he pulled you through.. He reminds me of Oliver Cromwell. One day Russia will have the luxury to play with more

Your argumentation on the point that Russia needs Putin is based on the «belief » that Putin is capable to bring country to democracy. But let’s be earnest - even if Russia is not yet ready to the true democracy, to make a country to be a democratic one, its authority (Putin in our case) should at least be democratic itself. I can give you the example of Turkey here. Turkey had authoritarian president in 1920-1930 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and country had one-party regime; still he considered this situation as a temporal one and supported other political party to appear on the political scene.

What we see in Russia?

• New political parties are forbidden to appear and be registered accordingly, for example, Parnas party. As consequence they cannot take part in elections.


• People suffer from violations of their Constitutional rights. The simplest example is the 31 article of Constitution that allows people the freedom of assembly. But we don’t have it in reality, meetings and gatherings are forbidden and recently 300 people have got to a

As the opposition was destroyed in Russia there are no new political figures that could find real support in Russia. Actually I think that the most important thing at the moment is to create the conditions for new parties and people to appear on the political scene. There are some people in the parliament parties who could try to take the presidency but I don’t think they will get it as the administrative pressure and fraud will avoid any change of power. There is no independent mass media as well to inform society about new people and ideas, especially far from Moscow, in regions
