Reuters: Putin critic Navalny jailed after protests across Russia
Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was handed a 15-day jail sentence on Monday for his part in a big anti-government protest in Moscow which buoyed the liberal opposition's morale a year before a presidential election.

WNU Editor: Everyone was surprised by how large and how widespread these anti-corruption protests were in Russia this past weekend. Even though calls for people to turn out was widespread throughout Russian social media .... the expectation was that only a few cities would be involved, and only a few hundred protesters (here and there) would show up. Everyone was wrong .... the media, pundits, and local authorities .... no one expected the turnout that actually happened .... and I will admit that even I was surprised. But it is the Kremlin that is the most surprised .... taking 24 hours to respond via through state media ... and they are now hitting their critics hard. What`s my prediction for the future .... this Russian anti-corruption movement is going to grow because it hits every Russian .... and more to the point .... everyone knows that it is true. As to what is my favourite corruption story, it is this one .... In Two Years Russian President Putin's Son-In-Law Became A Billionaire (December 31, 2015).
