    Russian website monitoring police detentions at protests @OvdInfo is down due to a reported DDoS attack.

    DDoS attack is coming from inside Russia not outside....

    Follow @ASLuhn who tweets live while being detained by #Putin's security apparatus in Moscow.

    Russian police arrested aggressively over more than 700

    How many #Putin regime police men does it take to arrest one brave Russian woman?

    Arrests getting more and more violent on the edges of now-cleared Pushkin Square:

    At Moscow’s Pushkin Square, riot police targeting individual protesters, dragging them off, sometimes beating others around with truncheons.

    I salute all brave Russians who are in the streets today, protesting a regime that is nationalistic and corrupt, the opposite of patriotic.

    In Russia if you can't find a taxi you can just shout 'DEMOCRACY' & the police will carry you the rest of your trip

    156 people arrested at anti-corruption protests in Makhachala today.

    Makhachkala! Dagestan!

    Putin got 92.8% there in 2012!

    The dynamics of state repression are endlessly fascinating to me. Incredible watching Putin calibrate how hard he can step on Navalny

    Boy no older than 12-13 years being arrested at @navalny anti-corruption protest in Moscow

    Eager to see what the Trump administration's State Department says about an American journalist being arrested in Russia


    A lot of journalists arrested in Russia right now. Big protests. This story is big and might be on the precipice of huge


    All staff at Alexey @Navalny's Anti-#Corruption Foundation arrested, charged w/ "extremism"
    http://newsru.com/russia/26mar2017/282fbk.html#

    Staff at Navalny's office detained for streaming the protests live online without permission. Now that's a new one.....

    Russia AND Belarus are home to large protests & a police crackdown this weekend. Soviet Spring? I'm not so sure, but it feels like a start

    Protests in Moscow nothing new. The fact that crowds gathered in dozens of smaller Russian cities will be far more alarming for the Kremlin

    Crowd chanting "Russia without Putin!" & "We are the power here!". Police telling crowd they are disturbing public order & breaking the law

    Echo Moskvy says 25K people have protested against corruption across the country, before Navalny's action reached Moscow and St Petersburg

    Police arrest kid with sign on his bicycle "sell the dachas, fix the roads" at Moscow anti-corruption protest

    "The rally wasn't sanctioned" police officer tells us. "Why didn't you go to the dacha and have a barbecue like normal people"

    Ekho estimates 60,000 people protested in 82 cities across Russia. Pretty significant numbers/spread, especially given threat of arrest.

    Kremlin says all teens at the anti-corruption protests across Russia were "paid protesters." Same tired old lines. Who by? Hillary??

    BUT WAIT..it was the CIA and Ukraine working together or wait....Trump himself....

    The main news from Sunday's protest is the political debut of teenagers who only know Putin's rule
    https://republic.ru/posts/81166

    Actually this is a major development and confirms what I hear from those Russians with German Residence Permits in Berlin that are in their late 20s early 30s...."they ain't going back".....is an understatement....

    Mixed Kremlin mssgs on protests from Peskov: "provocation," kids bribed, "respects" opinion, "sober" about the scale.

    Kremlin spox Peskov: We don't tell TV what to report. There is an abundance of free information out there...

    Russian @RT_Deutsch is mere propaganda.
    Claim: ±11.000 participants
    Reality: 60.000
    Claim: "some arrests, at least 15"
    Reality: 500-1000

    The Kremlin realized on Sunday that it may have problems with the next generation of Russians.
