Navalny protests lead to mass arrests and war of words with US The biggest opposition protests in several years in Russia led to some 3,500 arrests over the weekend. Demonstrations in support of Alexei Navalny in Moscow (where some estimates put the crowd at 40,000), St Petersburg, Vladivostok and other cities led to clashes with police, though sometimes these were limited to protesters throwing snowballs, as seen in this video from The Guardian.  Crowds could be heard chanting “Putin is a thief!” and “Free Navalny!”. Yulia Navalnaya, Navalny’s wife, was among those arrested according to CNN. The US state department said it condemned the “harsh tactics” of the police and demanded the release of Navalny and the protestors, the FT reports. The Kremlin responded by saying it was “not ready for diktat”. The BBC has a picture report of the protests.
