The protest rally “For fair elections” is winding down on Moscow's Sakharov Avenue. The Moscow Interior Department said about 30,000 people had gathered for the rally.
Crowds began pouring into Sakharov Avenue an hour before the event started.
Most of the protesters congregate near the stage. In the middle of the street, a huge screen has been erected to broadcast recorded speeches by protest supporters who could not be there.
