Russia's protests today begin on the Pacific ice, where riot police here give chase to protesters on the frozen Amur Bay at Vladivostok
An extraordinary show of police force in Moscow and across Russia as the Kremlin tries to defuse a second weekend of Navalny protests. Follow our live coverage here: nytimes.com/2021/01/31/wor…
Navalny's team on Telegram redirecting protesters on the fly vs. riot police trucks screeching through the streets. A dramatic cat-and-mouse game is developing in paralyzed central Moscow. Reporting from @INechepurenko, @AndrewKramerNYT & A. Higgins:

A monumental, nationwide show of force failed to smother the unrest; but with no evident fissures in the elite, Putin still appears poised to ride out the protests. On today with @AndrewKramerNYT, @INechepurenko and Andrew Higgins. nytimes.com/2021/01/31/wor…
And here’s @AndrewKramerNYT with a timely report from Kaliningrad. “Rallying around the flag is no longer an antidote against protest.” nytimes.com/2021/01/31/wor…

Navalny, in a makeshift courtroom just now at a police station near the airport, with one of his Putin epithets: “It seems that the grandpa in the bunker is so afraid of everything that they demonstratively ripped apart the code of criminal procedure and threw it in the trash.”
Minutes earlier, Navalny's lawyer received this letter notifying him that his client's hearing was about to take place at the police station — not in a courtroom. Only pro-Kremlin media have been allowed inside.

An extraordinary day in Moscow: Even his allies say there is a strong chance Navalny will be arrested after he lands at Vnukovo Airport tonight. "Leaving Navalny free would mean showing weakness in the eyes of his inner circle." nytimes.com/2021/01/17/wor…
Yesterday, Navalny thanked his German hosts. “Do you hear ‘the kindest, helpful, friendly people’ and not immediately think of Germans?” he wrote. “Then you are wrong. That’s exactly who they are.” nytimes.com/2021/01/17/wor…

In Minsk today, a column that looked to be more than 100,000 marched up to Lukashenko’s Independence Palace and demanded he resign. Here’s what we saw:
The day began with columns of people — there’s safety in numbers in Minsk these days — converging on the city center, cars honking as they went by
Heeding the directions of Telegram channels organizing the protests, people headed toward Independence Avenue because the original meeting point, Independence Square, was blocked by the police

Many thousands are in the streets of Khabarovsk, 4,000 miles east of Moscow, for the 3rd Saturday straight in the biggest protests Russia’s regions have seen in many years. It took 14 minutes for the march to pass by me here:
This was sparked by the arrest of a popular governor, Sergei Furgal. Khabarovites widely saw it as Putin’s move to get rid of an insufficiently loyal official.
Here people chant “Freeedom!” and “Putin’s resignation is the best amendment!” — a reference to the recent constitutional vote that gives Putin the chance to rule til 2036.
