F U and Putin too.

Not a "political" crime, eh? So how about this recent development:

FSB checking Kasparov's radio address for extremism - Ekho Moskvy

MOSCOW. April 16 (Interfax) - The Federal Security Service (FSB) is checking the radio address made by one of the leaders of the March of Dissent Garry Kasparov on Ekho Moskvy radio for elements of extremism.

Ekho Moskvy's editorial board received a request for its transcripts of the broadcast so that they could be checed for "possible signs of criminal activity in the address by Kasparov on the Counterblow program on April 8," the station said.

The request will also check "Kasparov's calls to take part in the March of Dissent on April 14, which could be qualified as a public call for extremist activity," it said.

Demonstrating peacefully for democracy and against Putin is now "extremist"?

Ekho Mosckvy is not a good source of information.
there are about 25 FM radio stations in Moscow,
and only ekho moskvy is susspected.
I think it’s clear enough that not all of other stations are bought or suppressed KGB :)

Ekho moskvy tells the truth and facts, but ONLY bad news you can hear there. Let’s imagine radio station in NY tells all day along just about USA soldiers killed in Iraq or Afganistan or tragedies in university. it’s not a good radio to listen - just because you will never hear there something good.

Btw, that really was really disgusting for most of russian people.
at this rally was west-oriented “so called democrats” in on e line with facists, national-bolshevik and ortdox communists. And there was not so much people - just around one thousand.

it not a good company for wise people :)
