A small anti-Putin rally was broken up rather abruptly and quickly today in Moscow, with the arrests of some 30 people, including Natsbols leader Eduard Limonov. One would think that the government would find a that a more confident show of strength would not involve such overreactions to peaceful protests.

at Triumfalnaya (Triumph) Square in downtown Moscow, Russia, Sunday,
May 31, 2009. Russian Police detained prominent Kremlin critic Limonov
and several other people who tried to hold the protest on Sunday. City
authorities had refused to grant opposition groups permission for the
demonstration, but Limonov’s group and others said they would go ahead
with it anyway. (AP Photo)
