Kremlin Planning 'Anti-Terrorism' Rallies to Match Corruption Protests — Report
The Kremlin is planning anti-terrorism rallies across Russia in response to Monday's deadly bomb attack on the St. Petersburg subway system. Demonstrations will be held in large Russian cities on Saturday, Apr. 8, the Kommersant newspaper reported late on Tuesday, citing an unidentified source close to the presidential administration.
“The authorities are often blamed for not sharing the people's grief. One of their goals is to prove that this is not true,” the unnamed source told the newspaper. “We haven't been given any target numbers or slogans, but it's clear that there should not be fewer people than there'd usually be [at a regional demonstration]."
The report said that special attention would be given to cities which saw a large turnout during mass anti-corruption protests on March 26. The protests, organized by opposition leader Alexei Navalny, were the largest Russia has seen since 2011-2012.
