A Russian Protest Song
Thousands of Russians gathered last weekend near the Kremlin. They chanted slogans and accused authorities of ballot-stuffing in the December 4 parliamentary election.
They also made their views known on video.
An alternative newspaper asked protesters to say a word that best describes the day.
The newspaper recorded those responses and set it to music by a Russian’s 80s band Kino.
Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Courtney Weaver, a reporter for the Financial Times in Moscow, about the viral video.
