with the security forces, there would be a whole load of violent protests. police would be provoked and it was meant to destabilize the situation and the tensions with russia. i ve spoken to the deputy interior minister of the country this evening. emthat one of the people who organized this planned protest is now known to have strong links with russian-backed rebels. of course, the authorities here are working overtime to sort of see who is behind this apparently destabilized. they re working to establish a russian connection. but that is hard, they admit, saying that president putin, i think the interior minister said to me, does not leave a business card with these individuals. but the fact that there are these links with a rebel group called the bus stop battalion is strong evidence. and the authorities say that they re on the constant lookout for these destabilizing protests
