Russian opposition activists attempted Sunday to build a human chain along the Garden Ring road that encircles central Moscow in a flashmob protest to demand fair presidential elections on March 4.
The organizers of Sunday’s protest, a recently created opposition movement called the League of Voters, have said that they chose this kind of a demonstration because it does not require permission from the Moscow City Hall.
The flashmob aiming to build a human chain along the 15.4-kilometer (9.5 miles) Garden Ring road was the latest in a series of protest rallies that followed parliamentary elections won by Putin’s United Russia party in early December which critics say were marred by fraud.
Most protesters interviewed by RIA Novosti said the reasons why they were out in the streets were moral as much as political. Many say the authorities are corrupt and that they disregard the general population.
