Up to 3,000 policemen have been patrolling downtown Moscow in order to stop Communists from holding a protest rally near Kremlin, local media reported. Although the city authorities refused to issue a permission for the anti-governmental action, about 5,000 people with red flags came to city center.
According to Ekho Moskvy radio station, protestors agreed to cancel the rally and went to a nearby Teatralnaya Square to hold a plain meeting there.
Head of the Moscow Communist Party branch Vladimir Ulas told Interfax that the Moscow authorities banned the rally under “an absolutely far-fetched excuse”, explaining that it would disturb traffic.
Communists have been also carrying out protest actions that pro-Kremlin United Russia member Vladimir Kashin called “illegal” in several cities across Russia.
