Andrew is reporting from the unsanctioned protest in Moscow in support of oppositionist Alexei Navalny, arrested last week upon his return to Russia after the FSB tried to poison him.
Events like this happening all around Russia today, and police are beginning to crack down.

Hard to imagine a timely tweet like this getting out just a week ago. Trump's State Department famously stifled communications from posts.

A friend in St. Petersburg writes, "I haven't seen such a huge group of people since 1991. A lot of people have come out [to protest] for the first time."

In addition to the small boy above and Yuliya Navalnaya, Navalny's wife (who Navalny says the FSB also tried to poison in Kaliningrad this summer), already 1000 arrests.
Not a regime that feels comfortable with dissent.

Really remarkable sentiment from a lot of the protestors on tv and social channels- the complete resignation and acceptance that they will be arrested. The protestors have been chanting "all for one and one for all."
