Saturday was a day for demonstrations in Russia. Over two hundred
thousand people gathered across the country to voice their political
views ahead of next month's presidential election. Two of the largest
rallies took place in the capital with supporters and opponents of the
current leadership braving the bitter cold to have their say. It was the
third, and biggest, opposition gathering after the Parliamentary vote
two months ago which protesters claimed was rigged. Now their main
demand is for a fair presidential vote in March. Author and researcher
F. William Engdahl says the West is funding the Russian opposition to
minimise the country's influence on the world stage during a critical
time.
