22 mins ago
MOSCOW – Police have thwarted an anti-Kremlin protest in central Moscow and detained a co-leader of the opposition group that organized it.
Police roughly grabbed protesters who tried to enter the square, which was cordoned off by metal barriers and police trucks. Police dragged about 15 people into a waiting truck, some of them members of a pro-Kremlin youth group that also staged a demonstration Sunday.
Officers seized Eduard Limonov of the group Other Russia along with a handful of bodyguards as they approached the square. Chess great Garry Kasparov is the group's other leader.
Other Russia had vowed to demonstrate in a downtown and march down Moscow's main street despite being denied permission.
