For the second weekend in a row, protesters and police clashed in the streets of dozens of Russian cities. The protests against the government of President Vladimir Putin have been called by supporters of opposition leader Alexei Navalni, who is under arrest.
According to the human rights NGO OVD-Info, at least 3,243 people were arrested by 5 p.m. (11 a.m. in Brasilia) in 60 cities. Last Saturday (23), the count fell from 4,000 detainees at the end of the day of demonstrations.
Police repression was much more organized on Sunday, also under the freezing temperatures of the Russian winter. In Moscow, the entire central area of the capital was closed to traffic this morning, including seven of the region’s main metro stations.

(Moscow) – On January 23, 2021, police detained more than 3,700 people across Russia at nationwide protests against the arrest of political opposition figure Alexey Navalny and against state corruption, Human Rights Watch said today. It was the largest number of people detained on a single day in the country according to OVD-Info, a Russian human rights group that monitors public assemblies.
There were numerous reports of excessive use of force by police, including beatings, with much photographed or filmed by media outlets or private citizens and posted to social media. Although there were some incidents of protester violence, the vast majority of the protests were peaceful.
