Current Event II: Rush'n Opp'sish'n

Those Russians are really bringing the hate on good Ol' Vlad.

Opposition supporters attempted to construct a 15-kilometer ring around the core of Moscow using the strength of their united spirits and... linked arms. That's right. human circle time.

though turnout hit 11,000 and the ring would have required about, oh, say 35,000, it's the thought that counts- really. The opposition has some actual pull in Russia, even if the majority of their members believe it's a lost cause- for now. It seems that, properly and fairly or not, the next president will be good ol' singin', fightin' Vlad Putin. Again. That there is an opposition at all says a lot about the Russian Rage building up- and could indicate material, tangible change. Take a look.
