MOSCOW, March 3. /TASS/. More than 130,000 people have come to participate in the rally dubbed For Strong Russia in Moscow on Saturday, the Interior Ministry's representative Irina Volk told TASS on Saturday.
"The rally For Strong Russia, organized at the Luzhniki sports complex features more than 130,000 participants," she said. "The police and Russian Guard provide order and security at the event."
The rally in support for presidential candidate Vladimir Putin began at midday on Saturday. The candidate’s election headquarters said the event "is paid for from the election fund," and the candidate will report the expenses to the Central Election Committee, to be published on the Committee’s website.
The headquarters’ press secretary, Andrei Kondrashov, said 299 Russian and 125 foreign reporters had been accredited to the event. They represent the media from the U.S., Japan, Spain, Germany, China, the UK, France, Denmark, he added.

Diplomat excoriates US State Department’s discriminatory conduct towards Russian reporter

Heather Nauert’s outright rebuff stirred indignation even among some American journalists

MOSCOW, March 2. /TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry will allocate special seats for American journalists at press briefings, if the United States dares once again to infringe upon the rights of Russian reporters, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert rejected questions from a Russian reporter at a press briefing on Thursday, which concerned bilateral relations and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly.
"You’re from Russian TV too? OK! Enough said then, I’ll move on," Nauert interrupted.
She thus reacted to the Russian reporter’s attempt to clarify Nauert’s remarks about Putin’s speech. Nauert’s outright rebuff stirred indignation even among some American journalists.
"This behavior is unacceptable! If the State Department once again dares to label our journalists who are present at press briefings ‘journalists from Russia’ and stop communicating with them because of that, we will carry out what we promised," Zakharova said. "We will arrange special seats for the so-called journalists from the US at the Foreign Ministry’s press center so that your journalists could feel this time what it is all about."
"Earlier, literally several decades ago, people with different skin color were not allowed to ride on the same bus in the United States. It is necessary to overcome that instead of returning to the flawed practice of the early 19th century, dividing journalists into countries and nationalities. You have no right to deny them access to information due to their nationality," Zakharova stressed. She also thanked "those American reporters who defended their Russian counterparts’ right to access information and be treated equally."

Quote:
Vladimir Putin, flanked by cheering supporters, strode on to a stage in the centre of Moscow’s colossal Luzhniki Stadium and urged a crowd of tens of thousands of flag-waving Russians to join him in building a bright and joyful future for the country’s children.
“Our ancestors lived here, we live here, and this is where our children and grandchildren will live,” Putin said on Saturday afternoon, at what was his sole campaign rally ahead of this month’s Russian presidential elections. “And we will do everything to make them happy!”
Standing beside Putin were celebrities and sports stars, including members of Russia’s men’s ice hockey team fresh from their triumph at the Winter Olympics. At Putin’s bidding, they burst into a rendition of Russia’s national anthem. Police said 80,000 people were present, with another 50,000 watching on big screens outside the stadium.
It was, on the face of it, a perfect demonstration of popular support for Putin, who is all but certain to secure another six-year term of office when Russians go to the polls on 18 March.
Multiple reports before Saturday’s rally indicated that tens of thousands of Russians had been strongarmed into attending the event. University students, state employees, and workers at private companies were among those who came under pressure, according to opposition websites and social media posts.
“Organise yourselves into groups of no less than four, and photograph yourselves when you arrive at the stadium,” read an email, seen by the Guardian, which was sent to employees of a Moscow-based company. “Don’t forget to pick up your placards on Friday!” An employee at the company said he feared his wages would be cut if he did not comply.
Andrei Kondrashov, Putin’s campaign spokesman, denied anyone had been forced to attend the rally against their will.
However, as Saturday’s event got under way, long before Putin had made his entrance, thousands of people streamed towards the nearest metro station. “Let’s get out of here,” said one middle-aged man named Pavel, after posing for a group photo with work colleagues. “I support Putin,” he said. “But I’m not spending all day here.”
Others were paid to attend.
“Men and women. 20-55 years old. March 3rd, rally/concert ‘For a Strong Russia’ in support of Vladimir Putin. Payment 500 roubles [£6],” read an announcement posted on Tuesday on a popular ”rent-a-crowd” website.
Those who answered the advertisement were met near the stadium on Saturday afternoon by a man who identified himself as Rodion. “We’ll all go to the stadium together, then meet back here and you’ll get your money,” he said, before handing out Russian Ecological party flags and scarves. No one present appeared to have any connection to the party. The move was an apparent bid to create the impression of broad support for Putin across Russia’s political spectrum.
“What difference does it make if I pretend to be an Ecological party member? I mean, I don’t support Putin, either,” said one young man, who refused to give his name. A spokesperson for the Russian Ecological party was not immediately available for comment.

In contrast to some who believe only what the trustful MSM (WaPo, NYT, FFF, etc) write...
Pity, that the Guardian's reporters (or others) did not snap the paycheck queue... (but perhaps they were strip checked when leaving the stadium, weren't they?)Quote:
...125 foreign reporters had been accredited to the event.
Since TheGuardian had been heavily involved in the WikiLeaks disclosure, they have been doing all they can to be back again among the "recognized MSM"...
Vlad doesn't take criticism well does he. I'm sure he'd love to slip the feller a cup of his famous Polonium tea but that would make him a martyr.

Police have detained Russia’s opposition leader Alexei Navalny at a demonstration against Vladimir Putin in central Moscow.
Thousands of demonstrators denouncing the Russian president’s imminent inauguration for a fourth term on 7 May gathered on Saturday in the capital’s Pushkin Square.
Video showed police carrying a struggling Navalny, who is Putin’s most prominent opponent, out of the square by the arms and legs.
The unauthorised protest was part of nationwide demonstrations called by Navalny under the slogan “He is not our tsar”.
Police also made arrests at demonstrations in other cities, but no overall figure was immediately available.About 150 people were detained in Krasnoyarsk, in eastern Siberia and 75 in Yakutsk, the capital of a diamond-mining region in north-east Russia.
I suppose you missed the "unauthorised" bit.
One wonders what reaction western countries leaders would adopt if "thousands" of protesters marched, "unauthorised" through the streets of London, Paris, Dublin or Washington. Are amerstanis allowed to conceal carry weapons in "unauthorised street marches"?
Somewhere they have got an "authorised" one, however, the govt is not happy either...
Thousands protest against Macron under heavy security in Paris
Police out in force for demonstration over reforms after May Day disturbances
Police were out in force in central Paris on Saturday as thousands of people protested against Emmanuel Macron’s sweeping reforms a year after he assumed the presidency.
About 2,000 members of the security forces, including riot police, were deployed as marchers gathered in warm spring sunshine in Opera square for a protest labelled a “party for Macron”, a tongue-in-cheek “celebration” of the 40-year-old centrist’s first anniversary in power.
The event began with a mass picnic, and smaller rallies took place in the southern cities of Toulouse and Bordeaux

Maybe you could enlighten us to how many political opposition leaders have been arrested at protest marches in western Democracies? Or how many that have been "mysteriously" murdered a stones throw from the white house houses of parliament etc with no one caught or held accountable. While you're about it please let me know how many anti May and anti Trump journalists have been murdered.
As much as I respect you are entitled to offer an alternative point of view (IMHO a must in any forum of ideas) and you do make valid points on occasion, your slavish obsequiousness of all things Putin and your almost obsessive anti Americanism, makes it difficult for some to take you seriously on any issue.
Whilst America has many things to answer for, so do the British Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Israelis, Turks and many others. Recognising faults in one country should not blind you to the faults of the countries you so obviously seem to want to defend and promote. The irony is these same countries that you criticise are the only ones that would allow you the freedom to criticise them. Try criticising Putin in Russia or Xi in China, or if you really are a thrill seeker try Kim in Nth Korea. The very fact that TD's intellectual giant kloneddick supports you should at least give you pause for thought.
Ever heard/read about Catalonia?
Many, many, some of them in the park nearby, some not so nearby, some never much publisized, some just suicides (the lists are well known - but surely some conspiratorial), some in the middle of an army of bodyguards, any posible scenarios...Quote:

I am sure THE LORD would authorise a peaceful march conducted with due respect to the citizens living in the area, conformance to guidelines etc. THE LORD may of course restrict such "peaceful marches" to Siberia, 1st November to 31st February, but political change is "worth it" as some have said. They of course may need to wait until highways and electric car charging stations are provided, by THE LORD's democratically government and the content Russian citizens, to get there.
:)
Unfortunately the "organisers" have previous on not following the countries laws on such matters, hence the now use of the marches organisers of the "spontaneous" sort.
Your just illuminating your desire for anarchy, once again. Different thread, same anarchic suggestions.
There are plenty here who post verbatim amerisrtani propaganda, look to those to justify what they post. Copy and paste artists without the confidence to utter one word of their own. Pathetic. And then there's 'arry with his anarchy (without government of any sort) option, always being pushed.
I am content with posting factual reports from the other countries here and in other threads, which few here rebut conclusively. As you have tried and failed here.
harry, under Nazi Germany, you would have been quite the cheerboy for the regime actions :)
Ha! Harry couldn't be a "cheerboy" on his best day in life. Anyway, perhaps you should do some real, in-depth research, regarding the true facts of Nazi Germany.
Here's a clue. If today's Putin (instead of Stalin) had been the Soviet Premier, in 1940, then we'd all be living in a very different 21st. Century world; guaranteed. :chitown:

THE LORD remembers his roots and as an aside pushes Israel to the second row.

An old soldier is manhandled away by "security". he stops and apologises for the "security" teams behaviour. The old soldier is invited to join the front row. Israeli leader goes to the second row, possibly expecting to be attacked. The LORD continues along the route with the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and the old soldier chatting and smiling.
The Israeli leader with a glum expression, realising the cameras are rolling, quickly accelerates to the end of the front roe but is ignored by all.
THE LORD, dangerous or an accommodating decision maker, you decide.
I see you are still living in "La La Land" and think Putin is the only bad guy but not others? and what sanctions you would propose? I would be interested to hear. Do you care to collaborate? Maybe the US should appoint you as ambassador of the "world know how" inventing a new job for you. That maybe solve all the Putin problems what we having right now at ones. Not people dying for a useless causes or hunger or anything else which is created by whom? All by Putin himself.
Have you tried telling Nato and the Usa that? Or Israel, for that matter?Quote:
Territorial acquisition is a dangerous game to start playing.
Doesn't seem so to me- but who are the main aggressors anyway? Gee, now thats a tough one. :yerman:Quote:
The world has moved on from the age of annexation and invasion.
Presumably not those who 'liberated' Iraq, are in the process of trying (& failing) to 'liberate' Syria, who 'liberated' Libya, and are in the process of 'liberating' Palestine.
Right now, Putin, the chinks, and what rump is left of continental European pride seem about the only chance for some modicum of world peace.
General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned - Seven Countries In Five Years
Originally published in March 2007 General Wesley Clark:
Because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz.
I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, "Sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second." I said, "Well, you're too busy." He said, "No, no." He says, "We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq." This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, "We're going to war with Iraq? Why?" He said, "I don't know." He said, "I guess they don't know what else to do." So I said, "Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?" He said, "No, no." He says, "There's nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq." He said, "I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments." And he said, "I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail."
So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, "Are we still going to war with Iraq?" And he said, "Oh, it's worse than that." He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" -- meaning the Secretary of Defense's office -- "today." And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran." I said, "Is it classified?" He said, "Yes, sir." I said, "Well, don't show it to me."
And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, "You remember that?" He said, "Sir, I didn't show you that memo! I didn't show it to you!"

How can I help you today?
My apologies for my briefness previously. Some will call this "waffle", "am I bovvered", no.
Not at all. My reports from Russia, China, Iran and other counties illustrate actual, physical or documented achievements. You know like increasing local food production, providing funds to protect local citizens, raising living standards for a large % of local citizens and also some foreigners . My list goes on and on regarding countries which most here deride as buffaloes. There are many here who blindly report western MSM with no personal input/views expressed. As for being serious you must be joking. I am under no illusion that I am changing anything, at all.
ameristan has the exceptional ability, truly, to do good and evil. I can't recall the last good thing they did, either for their own citizens or foreigners. I can and inform on ameritani evil acts. ameristani vassals do not have independence of actions. Can you imagine 4 UK bombers approaching Tartus naval base and not being shot down, a French attack. I can't.
The only vassal, which I ponder that relationship, which does act for itself is Israel. Illegally, violently but the western world is scared of calling them out.
Many sites I visit are full of posters blaming everybody but themselves for their own situation. That's their culture, not taking responsibility for their own actions and bitching about the results others have taken on their behalf. I took responsibility for my actions and care of my loved ones at 16, some stupid decisions made but also some brilliant life enhancing ones. Assitance was required occasionally but provided willingly and repaid in spades.
China, Iran, Russia are all painted at as xxxkin animals, They're humans same as you and me, treat them as such. They have differences to you and me but you and me are probably very different. So what, get on with your life.
There are many here on TD who pick out foreign actions or inactions. Most cut and paste from their local MSM, with no opinion from themselves. I try and show a different view. When I joined TD I couldn't find any post on China, which to me, was a mistake given Chinas position in Asia, so I started some. I also do post in defence of the bad guys action when others create threads against normally pointing out inconsistencies in there source facts and unproven allegations. Some times after prompting they do supply new evidence and I thank them for it. Mostly they don't reply at all.
I will never know everything, please bear with me if you think I am mistaken and will, hopefully, point it out politely.
Have a nice day.
:)
