by Euronews 2,847 views
http://www.euronews.net/ Several thousand protesters gathered in central Moscow calling for the end to Putin's rule.
They claim that Sundays election was fraudulent, and it is now time for the man who has dominated Russian politics for over a decade to go.

"What has Putin done with all this time (in office)?" He said. "He had a colossal mandate of trust. They controlled the Duma, they had support and they had high oil prices."
