Vladimir Kara-Murza, the twice poisoned Russian dissident, was on Maddow’s show telling us about the Open Russia Protest that is happening today. Here are photos of the protestors who are taking risks protesting, especially leaders. It looks like detentions are happening. More photos added at bottom. Link to more photos included. Please share.
Open Russia aims to connect and unite Russian citizens who seek a state governed by the rule of law, with a strong civil society, regular free and fair elections, and the promotion of democratic values.
Khodorkovsky has described Open Russia as a “horizontal alliance,” explaining:
“What is needed now for effective resistance is not a party with yet another ‘vertical’ structure, eager to fight for power, but a ‘horizontal’ alliance of the vast number of ‘small civic groups’ that form the underlying fabric of civil society and that solve their own concrete problems locally.”
