Protesters clashed with riot police in St. Petersburg, Russia.


By ANDREW E. KRAMER
Published: March 4, 2007

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, March 3 — An unusually large and unruly protest against the government of President Vladimir V. Putin ended here Saturday in clashes with the police and the arrest of opposition leaders. Rally organizers and the police said more than 100 people were arrested after a midafternoon scuffle between marchers and riot police on the main street, Nevsky Prospekt, in the heart of the city’s tourist district. St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, is Mr. Putin’s hometown.

2. Nice post. K & R
Replace the metal shields with Plexiglas, add some tasers, and what is the difference?

Your last line says it all.

3. Are the police chained together at the ankle? . . .
Does anyone see this differently?
