Russians protest Putin, election fraud

With St. Basil's Cathedral in the background, protesters wave a red flag as a symbol of revolution as they march during a mass rally to protest against alleged vote rigging in Russia's parliamentary elections in Moscow, Russia, Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011.

Russians angered by allegedly fraudulent parliamentary elections are protesting Saturday in cities from the freezing Pacific Coast to the southwest of Russia, eight time zones away - a striking show of indignation, challenging Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's hold on power.
