protesters say president put his opponents being excluded from taking part in moscow city elections why is the government taking such a hard stance and could violence against the demonstrators backfire this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. it's one of the biggest security crackdown seen in russia for many years i guess what the authorities say are illegal demonstrations and independent monitoring groups has more than 800 protesters were detained on saturday the week before the figure was almost $1400.00 and the leading opponent of president vladimir putin alexina vonnie was jailed russians are angry at the ban on some opposition minded candidates for the next months city elections

in moscow the council controlled by the pro kremlin united's russia party is responsible for a last minute simple budget the vote comes at a time when putin's approval rating although still high at more than 60 percent has actually dropped that's been put down to discontent over the economy and falling incomes we'll discuss all this with our guests shortly but 1st imran khan reports on saturday's events. from the police operation designed to stop large numbers of protesters coming to central moscow did exactly that still some did manage to get through the detentions was swift so all throughout saturday they've been arresting people like this they pick them up. and they take them into. a van where the idea is will be to. the protesters are normally take also a police station so then they register journalists were also detained but released

almost immediately once they showed proper accreditation protesters are worried the upcoming last go city council elections are being rigged in favor of the governing party united russia most of the opposition candidates have been arrested but one who is at the protest said the numbers will load because the authorities were cracking down. everything depends on how people will react so far there aren't that many of us many people are unhappy with united russia and its supporters is the lowest since 2006 but people are scared of coming to the streets or taking party rallies of half a 1000000 take to the streets. despite the crackdown the protesters that did make it well hopeful change might come down more stormin yes i'm here because i have a conscience i don't like a lot of things that are happening in this country i'm happy that the young generation woke up and want to have their voices heard i am here because candidates weren't allowed to run i'm against banning of alice i'm against the crackdown and i think protest is the only way to show your opinion police say the protest was

illegal and detentions will load and opposition monitoring group says the numbers will you much higher than the police who claim it's not clear what's next for russia's protest movement but the authorities are hoping the show of force has stopped a completely immoral cardholders in moscow. their ass were condemned by rights groups in a statement on a c international said the russian authorities have shown nothing but disdain for humor whites and the notion of peaceful protests with. on the russian authorities to respect the country's humorous obligations and constitution and ensure the wiat to freedom of peaceful assembly is respected and facilitated the unfounded mass disorder charges against demonstrators must be dropped and all imprisoned peaceful protesters released. so who are the main activist challenging president putin liberal civil lawyer and video blogger was briefly detained before saturday's protests she had been on hunger strike after her disqualification from

the election alex saying of arnie is putting is no most prominent opponent last week of the anti-corruption campaign or was taken to hospital from prison in what his lawyer said might have been a case of poisoning his number back in jail serving a 30 day sentence for organizing the protests several of the opposition members and activists were also detained but some were later released critics say the kremlin has always used force to intimidate dissenters. let's bring in our guests from moscow we have victor all of it political analyst and lead expert of the center for actual politics also from moscow a powerful flag and how are it journalist and columnist for novaya gazeta welcome to the program mr oliver church why is this happening i mean this clamp down on the

protesters and how significant is it. well on fortunately the moscow municipal election commission had made a decision not to register kynges it's a number of candidates from opposition movements and parties and that you'd have become widely accepted that that decision was not exactly by the book so the mosque a municipal election commission had been political in making that decision and did not exactly act according to a law of course that was used as a b. text for brought to us by them want to read you cope parts of the opposition but it must be said it must be said that discontent that the number of people who feel disenfranchised in moscow is is significant and not every brought like yesterday's protest is not allowed these bound by by the russian authorities

in fact last in fact. weeks ago there was a licensed eagle protest that was license in the government and more than the 20000 people came out in fact weeks from now another protest is expected in moscow focused on this specific issue of the elections to the moscow city duma yeah and. also which is expect up to $100000.00 people to come out and that brought that it is not expected to be harassed in any way by the u.k. police so on the one hand there are issues that have been caused by. by decisions of the moscow city or stories of the moscow election commission and on the other hand there have been attempts both more radicalized elements of the opposition to use them as a pretext for their actions. why it's such

a whole sense was all about city elections i mean not talking about the dubai lushes we're not talking about. the president said it actions which are going to be held in 2024 well it seems that the right moscow authorities are grossly overreacting in the. moscow city do mother we're just not sure this will be you act that in september doesn't yield any real power it's not even the professional so-called well i just which sure i mean it's part time people they're not even paid for that work they sometimes gather to pass some kind of registration and there was 0 possibility that the opposition could actually gain a majority in the this way just to ensure or could wield any power there but the authorities are dealing with this lack a military operation basically there had been reliable information coming out

from sources in the cram on the scene as an act of. unrest in moscow seen as a. hybrid warfare that this is a western american led intelligence organizations organizing discontent in russia in an attempt to chart turn it into a possible coup d'etat the way it was and ukraine the so-called my don and that is being the russian authorities as being very afraid of that and so now they're clamping down. they're arresting people do all the way there so oppositional all the known we'd years of the opposition or most of them right now and behind bars there's they're running. searches they're working for information and the intelligence counterintelligence organization f.s.b. is very much involved so they're working for evidence to show that this is a. hybrid war operation to the west and that maybe they're actually preparing some

of the show trials afterwards. if we see it that way victor usually city city election is usually about infrastructure services and there's this consensus among many people particularly the government that the mayor who is an ally of president putin has been doing well over the last few years why is the government afraid in this case why is afraid of not allowing the position candidates to run for the city in the city elections. well i would agree with 5 of that the moscow cigar in the car was over reacted and the proper way to deal with this situation would have been to register as i was going to those who actually received enough signatures to be adjusted to plea by the book and to our free and fair elections and in fact the popularity the readings of some of these opposition candidates are quite low so in free and fair elections if there are held in september to the

moscow city duma most of them would have probably not the achieved victory most of these opposition candidates able to have simply lost in fair elections instead by clamping down steve yearly by taking this somewhat unnecessary actions of these opposition including radical opposition figures and activists have gained more name recognition their reputation. among certain are layers of the population in moscow certain segments of the population there they are brand name and there are in name their condition has increased and their bipolarity has increased ok so these actions by by the moscow authorities are certainly counterproductive from whatever vantage point you look at the. public the clum done back fly to the point where we can say safely now that the opposition

is no on the path to build up more momentum for his own political agenda. oh that's not clear at all in 2012 such a very severe clampdown actually stopped the opposition movement then after the duma who actions the state duma elections that was a rather more massive than today so then and work must like with artie's believe it can work now too but then again that depends on other issues it's not just about moscow though this right now is a moscow city issue it's moscow elections it's happening in moscow there's very much resonance to the entire a contrie side of russia. but right there their thirties have they're afraid and they have a reason to be afraid because this politico basically political opposition movement

in moscow may begin to spread out and join forces with the social economic discontent that's really massive in russia because russia is in the car nomic those drums for over 6 years household incomes have been declining they're sick anomic frustration it it's right now not public and it's not connection connected to the actions and to the moscow council but if a jew they join forces the affluent more politicized moscow public with the disk and a social discontent in the russian provinces then the russian authorities could be in really serious trouble. is that you don't think that the opposition candidates. have any chance to win the city elections even if they were given

permission to take part in the elections however don't you think that with the growing discontent nationwide about the track record of putting on his government this could tilt the balance in their own favor in the favor of the opposition well most of them could not win in a free and fair election to the to the moscow city duma right now sour them several of them could possibly have won in fact some of those that have not been edge that day i would they remind you that there was in the last week between these protests one of the opposition candidates from yabloko should be made to work in has been registered the decision not to register has him has been overturned and so even. in a free and fair election the radical opposition. would simply not be able to get a majority there not that bipolar and they would not even be able to get a significant portion of the seats in the moscow state duma i would also look at similar or somewhat similar examples of long term protest movements in various

countries and power as they go what their results are usually the best way to base if i are long term. more or less weight ranging brought this movement is to compromise we have already seen some elements of this in the registration of your game in talking from yabloko also i would point to a comment some comments by the vice beacon of the russian duma and this is the federal doma not the this is the russian parliament that it's on the result of from the from the united russia party who had suggested that the in the next duma the next russian parliament elections that are coming up in 2021 it is.
