Russian opposition vows new rallies to shake Putin
The movement against Vladimir Putin was on Sunday preparing new rallies to loosen the Russian strongman's 12-year grip on power after keeping up their challenge with a third mass demonstration in Moscow. Tens of thousands marched through Moscow on Saturday despite bitterly cold weather to protest against Putin's domination, with organisers disputing police claims that a pro-Putin rally elsewhere in the capital was even larger. Putin is still expected to win March 4 presidential elections.
