The first protests began in Siberia and the Far East. Hundreds of protesters were seen in the streets of Khabarovsk, Vladivost and other countries, despite the large number of policemen and very low temperatures.
The OVD-Info group, which monitors police activity, reported on dozens of arrested protesters, adding that physical violence by security forces is being subjected to some, writes Free Europe.
In the distant eastern city of Yakutsk, protesters took to the streets despite the powerful wind and temperature - 50 degrees Fahrenheit [150 ° C].
In Moscow, where the biggest protests are usually held, protesters plan to gather at the “Pushkin” Square in the central part of the capital.
Navajo was arrested last weekend, shortly after returning home from Germany, where he was treated at a Berlin hospital after poisoning his nervous agent, Novico. He has accused the Russian secret services of poisoning him.
