Russia: “Manifestação, ou coisa parecida”
Traduções
A oposição russa ia realizar uma manifestação no dia 6 de maio, em Moscou, na véspera da posse de Dmitry Medvedev como substituto de Vladimir Putin na presidência, mas as autoridades locais não permitiram — e os líderes da coalisão de oposição Outra Russia acabaram por cancelar a Marcha dos Descontentes no último minuto. Dezenas de protestantes foram presos pela polícia, de qualquer forma.

This evening, by the monument to Griboedov at Chistye Prudy, 4,625 journalists and 8,416 policemen were waiting for the participants of the Dissenters’ March, who, however, showed up from the opposite direction.

A small group of 15-20 people gathered at Pokrovka and moved along Chistye Prudy towards the subway station, accompanied by a few photographers and cameramen.

The police saw the group from afar and stopped it near the monument to a Kazakh [folk singer]. Just as I heard “grrrr… self-control and calmness… grhm-hm-gr…” coming through static noise from one riot cop's walkie-talkie, the opposition [protester] walking down the path were attacked from all sides.

O usuário kozenko do LiveJournal postou um epitáfio [Ru] para o Outra Russia:
” There was no Dissenters’ March. The leaders vanished, and the activists carried out several small-scale and brief public disturbances in the city.
Well, the Other Russia, congratulations on your demise. Last year, it was fun with you, and even interesting. And at the start it even seemed that there was a future. But the finale turned out to be – forgive me – boring and embarrassing.
Amen.”
