The trouble on the day after the vote began very early. Ilyinka, Varvarka and Moskvoretskaya streets, which lead directly to the Kremlin from the east of the capital, had been closed in Moscow since 6 a.m. An adjacent bridge over the city river was also sealed off on Monday. Moscow was preparing for the next major event, a patriotic concert on Red Square. The country is not calming down right now. Vladimir Putin is probably fine with this; things couldn’t be going better for him these days.
Vladimir Putin: Cheers to me – politics
