Tens of thousands protest Russian election

Central Moscow roiled Saturday with the largest anti-government protests that post-Soviet Russia has ever seen. People gathered to criticize electoral fraud and demand an end to Vladimir Putin's rule.

    But who's calling it a revolution?RT @arahsultana The "revolution" in Russia has been titled "The Snow Revolution" by the media. I like it!

    @markmackinnon Worth mentioning that Rus parties are not very representative because no new ones able to register since 2004; only 7 left.
