For third consecutive day, Muscovites protest for free and fair city council elections. “Every day!” they chant. “Russia without Putin!” 
Several hundred Muscovites, most of them young, gather on central square to shout “Putin is a thief!” and ”Lustration!”
Yuliya Galyamina is one of the opposition candidates barred from city council ballot; she calls on supporters to protest every day, with big rally on Saturday.
“Why are there so few of us?” somebody shouts.
“The rain,” Galyamina replies.
Weather, work, family, helplessness, apathy all work against Putin’s opponents. Plus many Russians still like him, even as they curse “the authorities.”

After the rain, a rosy sunset over Moscow before the clouds return again.
