It was preceded by opposition rallies in Russian cities in December 2005 which involved fewer people.


Most of the protests were unsanctioned. Usually the authorities of the cities where the march was expected to take place have proposed protesters to meet at some more peripheral place and forbidden processions. However, according to Russian legislation, organizers of a march should merely inform the authorities of the upcoming event and don't need a sanction, while the authorities have no right to prohibit a march in the specific places where it has been planned by the opposition[3], and demonstrators have usually defied the ban (apart from the rally in Saint Petersburg on April 15, 2007).

Nizhny Novgorod, March 24, 2007

Demonstrators were going to start the march at Pushkin Square, a prominent public space, but were denied permission by the authorities as Molodaya Gvardiya, youth wing of United Russia, had been given a permission to meet there for the same time. The authorities suggested the march organizers to hold their rally at Turgenev Square, a more peripheral spot. The pro-Kremlin youth group, which had obtained the permit in order to deny the central square to the protesters, did not hold a rally there, but the square was cordoned off by police on the night before the protest.[45] Pushkin Square in Moscow, named for Alexander Pushkin, is located on the Boulevard Ring at the junction of Tverskaya. ...

Police attempted, but failed to detain Mikhail Kasyanov, surrounded with bodyguards. Protesters chanted: "We need another Russia!", "Russia without Putin!", "No to the police state!" , "Beasts! Fascists! Shame!" , "This is our city!" From about 1,000 to 2,500 demonstrators managed to get through several OMON cordons and reach Turgenev Square, where Mikhail Kasyanov gave a speech.

The protest in Saint Petersburg started at noon on Sunday, April 15, at Pionerskaya Square, under heavy police surveillance, including a hovering helicopter and scores of OMON (riot police), both local and summoned from Pskov, Novgorod and Arkhangelsk, cordoning off the area. Neighboring quarters were also closed to traffic and pedestrians. There were at least 1,500 police according to the march organizers. Only those protesters who had come by 12 p. m. were allowed to enter the square, leaving a number of others outside the barriers. The total number of demonstrators gathered was estimated as over 3,000 by the organizers and about 500 according to the police. Earlier, on Friday and Saturday, police raided Saint Petersburg Yabloko headquarters to confiscate publicity material about the march, demanded information about those involved in the printing and distribution of it and detained several distributors.[52] There were some speculations that Garry Kasparov failed to take part in the Saint Petersburg event because he had been released from police office too late in the aftermath of the Saturday rally in Moscow.[53] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 533 pixels Full resolution (3456 × 2304 pixel, file size: 3. ...
