More Than 300 Detained At Moscow Opposition Rally Called By Navalny

MOSCOW -- More than 300 demonstrators and several opposition figures have been detained by police around a rally in Moscow amid a heavy security presence in the Russian capital.

The demonstration planned for July 27 was to protest Moscow authorities' refusal to put several opposition members on the ballot for municipal elections in September.

The decision to bar the candidates for allegedly insufficient signatures on nominating petitions sparked several days of demonstrations this month.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
I have traveled to Russia multiple times, and the whole notion of Russia as the fire breathing dragon is the greatest hoax perpetrated against the American people.  Russia on its best day is a third world nation, with nukes.

They go six months without paying their military.  Their military scours daches for food to live on, that is how bad things have been there the whole time Putin has led that country. 

Poverty there is so part of the fabric that it is common for three generations to live in one flat, everyone working to pull enough money to survive.  Folks in Moscow and St. Petersburg live a higher standard of living, but the rest of the country struggles.

The people of the USA have spent tens of trillions of taxpayer funds on mostly a lie.  The military industrial complex perpetuates this great lie of the threat of Russia, and now they have amped it up with the supposed threat of Russia with elections.  If the threat were genuine, it could easily be resolved with paper ballots.  If anyone is tampering with our voting system, it is George Soros, who owns all the companies in the USA and Europe that tabulates the vote.

The Democommies are promoting the Russian threat for the 2020 election, but no effort directed at solving the would be threat.  They would rather have the fire breathing dragon to use as a campaign issue.  The Dems are despicable, and the GOP is not any better.  Sad state, this in our country.
