KHABAROVSK/MOSCOW - Thousands of people marched in the Russian far eastern city of Khabarovsk on Saturday for a fourth consecutive weekend in protest at President Vladimir Putin’s handling of a local political crisis.
Residents of Khabarovsk, around 3,800 miles and seven time zones east of Moscow, are unhappy about the July 9 detention of Sergei Furgal, the wider region’s popular governor, who was arrested on murder charges he denies. City authorities estimated around 3,500 people had taken part in the march. Some local media put the number above 10,000, but said the crowds were smaller than previous weeks.
“The government doesn’t think of us as people, we’re scum to them,” one female pensioner protester told Reuters.
