Riot police have arrested hundreds of young people in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, including a... duck – in honour of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev’s infamous duck house – on a day of “unsanctioned” anti-corruption protests across Russia. All photos: Max Seddon (@maxseddon).

A Call to Silence


PICTURE OF THE DAY. See http://chess-news.ru/node/22900.

Hundreds of protesters have been detained by riot police in cities across Russia, as some of the largest anti-government protests in years swept the country on Sunday, March 26, 2017. A monitoring group said at least 700 people were detained in Moscow alone, including the opposition politician and anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Anatolievich Navalny.
