have made it a point to say that they're not affiliated with a party we have communists here we have galba we have the national bolsheviks who are considered to be very extreme it's really a mix here but a lot of people first of all just out here to call for fair elections are not associated with the. hardy and secondly a lot of people especially on the sidelines at least from what i can see it seems like they're really here is observers they've come to see what will happen if we go out onto the streets and of course we'll be here all day to see and bring you all the news on what happens that really i think it's certainly fair to say the biggest protests we've seen in russia for years indeed in the summer saying that these are the biggest protests seen in about twenty years since the time of the of the u.s.s.r. and as you were saying up perhaps people there not so much aligning themselves with certain political parties but perhaps showing a form of solidarity with what's going on in our life in central moscow thank you. live updates of the opposition meeting in moscow are available on our
