For nearly a week hundreds have camped out at Chistye Prudy, a boulevard in central Moscow whose name translates as Clean Ponds.
Inspired by the global Occupy movement, but fed by the growing anger at Mr Putin’s return to power, the camp is the clearest sign yet that opposition to Russia’s leader refuses to go away.

This is yet one more of the many protests that have been held in various parts of Russia to combat Putin’s re-election as the country’s President for the 3rd time.
Prior to the election a few months ago, protestors already gathered at Moscow’s square demanding Vladimir Putin would not be re-elected.
