MOSCOW — Riot police on Saturday broke up an anti-Kremlin rally of several thousand people, detaining some of the protesters, including former chess champion Garry Kasparov and other opposition leaders.
Police also detained Eduard Limonov, leader of the National Bolshevik Party, who has been Mr. Kasparov’s closest partner in a broad opposition coalition.
Mr. Kasparov, one of President Vladimir Putin’s harshest critics, and other opposition politicians have come under growing pressure before Dec. 2 elections.
The police, who had surrounded the rally, moved in when about 150 of the protesters broke through police lines and tried to march to the Central Elections Commission.
Police pushed protesters into three police vans. Before he was himself surrounded by police, Mr. Kasparov estimated that dozens, protesting against Mr. Putin’s rule, had been detained
“We should overcome the fear that the regime uses to sustain itself,” Mr. Kasparov told the crowd. “For the Putin regime, our country is just a source of enrichment.”
Here is the full story.
Too bad for Kasparov.
I’ve never seen anything like it….he was dragged like a dog and shoved into a van ….it was really upsetting to see this…this is a democratic russia?? I can’t beleive the world media is not picking this up.
Kasparov wants control of the govt. to make it a Amerikkkan asset a la Boris Yeltin; under him the Oligarchy got control of the State owned holdings and sold them to western interests. But Putin kicked them out of Russia , i. e.; Berezovsky, Gusinski, Patarkat, Sishvili, etc.

And people like you are responsible for the Cold War and h future World War 3. Kasparov wants peace. You only love the warmth of radioactive fallout from your false god plutonium.
sandra, it’s the Amerikkkan govt. that has spent 24 trillion dollars on nuclear weapons that holds the entire population of this planet hostage to the corporate capitalist machine of economic slavery.I do no believe in nuclear weapons or nuclear energy created by man.
sandra, it’s the Russian and Chinese govt. that has spent 100 trillion rubles/won on nuclear weapons that holds the entire population of this planet hostage to the communist machine of slavery. I do no believe in nuclear weapons or nuclear energy created by man. Unfortunatley, those weapons have been designed to to kill 95% of humanity so that the elites can create their paradise without the useless capitalistic or communistic eaters and breeders. Wake up. The elite class of all nations are preparing our collective destruction. The idiot Bush and the cats paw Putin are just figure heads of the real evil that lurks at the top of all governments. Look up Illuminati. They are real and they want to eat you and your children. Make peace with your creator now. Spaceba.
I have seen people been dragged and shoved into a van in UK and in Greece where I have lived, and I am sure that in all western countries this thing happens.
The question is, how much publicity gets the person dragged…
If his name is Kasparov, and he serves the US interests, it gets lots of time…
If he is some radical left group in UK or Greece, not much.
And ofcourse, the actual figures can prove that the biggest expenses in military by far are made by USA. This is not even denayed by the officials..
