V #BBCRussian 's Olga Ivshina:
'There's been a significant police presence today, with dozens of security personnel in uniform. But from my eight years' experience covering events like this, there could well be a few dozen more (at least) plain clothes officers closely monitoring the situation and taking pictures of those present.

Russian courts have labelled both #Navalny and his organisation extremists, so any association with them can lead to serious trouble.'

#Russia has one of the largest #police forces in the world, employing over 900,000 officers to serve a population of 146 million, according to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. It has nearly 630 officers per 100,000 people - more than double the US or the UK. And they are quitting in droves - a good read, by #BBCRussian 's Olesya Gerasimenko
