What happened in Moscow on Thursday would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago.
There was a protest rally in the Russian capital.
Now that by itself would have been unusual, but Thursday’s demonstration went off without any arrests.
The demonstrators protested at Pushkin square against the detention of activist Sergei Udaltsov.
