In St Petersburg sixty people were taken into custody when police moved in to break up a demonstration it was one of at least twenty seven held to coincide with president bush and sixty first birthday the demonstrators are supporters of the Opposition Leader alexina valmy who is currently serving a twenty day jail term for a challenge of reports from moscow where police were more restrained in their handling of the protests. Saturday was a test for Alexei Navalny and the test for russias Security Forces on the day president putin turned sixty five the Opposition Leader wanted supporters to demand his release from twenty days it minister to detention and for him to be allowed to run in next years president ial elections hes going in the band of independent candidate they want the person who are the. Top to bottom line talk about the real russian problems i love my country very much this is why i am here the method of ruling. I wrote. And. New generation is great. But while unsanctioned rallies earlier in the year trail many thousands of people not nearly so many came this time perhaps the awful weather kept people away moscow at least but perhaps to get the message this time with less focus on the corruption that blight so Many Russians lives and more focus on the family herself and maybe a student here than in previous demonstrations at the time mostly young russian tourists very very vocal the.
