"They are fed up": Moscow protests challenge the Kremlin's authority


Up to 60,000 protesters gathered in Moscow on Saturday to denounce the barring of opposition candidates from running in an upcoming election for Moscow City Council. Nina Khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at The New School, says that the discontent surrounding local elections points to a much larger political reckoning in Russia in which the authority of the Kremlin is being challenged. "It is not just the Moscow political crisis taking place in Russia right now — it is the Russian political crisis," says Khrushcheva. "Suddenly, from a very small event of local elections, it became an anti-Putin demonstration." Khrushcheva is the co-author of "In Putin's Footsteps: Searching for the Soul of an Empire Across Russia's Eleven Time Zones." #DemocracyNow Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1,400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
