120,000 participating in rally
Police are not letting approach the rally venue. Organizers of the the opposition's rally at Sakharov Square say there are 120,000 people participating in the action and that the flow continues.
Lenta.ru writes that the participants of the rally taking place with the slogan "For Fair Elections" are not fitting in the fence set by the authorities and for that reason, organizer Vladimir Rizhkov has called on the police to expand the fence.
Police say there are 29,000 participants. "Moskovskiye Novosti" reports that the police have started counting the people standing near the fence, but they have only counted 60,000 and have stopped.
The newspaper reports that the police officers' metal detector has registered 90,000 people.
According to sources, the police have closed the entrances leading to the rally venue and are not letting people enter Sakharov Avenue. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs denied that, mentioning that the entrances had only been closed for 10 minutes.
