New protests against Putin in Moscow

Up to 10,000 protesters marched through central Moscow on Saturday demanding Vladimir Putin's resignation and protesting electoral fraud.

The turnout was in stark contrast to winter election protests which attracted up to 100,000 people in the largest demonstrations in Russia's post-Soviet history.

Putin has signalled he is ready to make some gestures to the protestors, including a plan to hold gubernatorial elections, reversing a policy under which the Kremlin appointed regional leaders.
