Russian police raid homes of opposition leaders

MOSCOW — Russian police raided the homes of leading opposition figures early Monday, a day before a rally expected to draw tens of thousands to protest President Vladimir Putin’s rule. Law enforcement officers rifled through papers, confiscated computer equipment and summoned protest leaders for questioning. Anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny, Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov and Solidarity activist Ilya Yashin were among those targeted.

Searches were also being conducted at Navalny’s RosPil anti-corruption project and the home of Udaltsov’s parents, journalist Olga Romanova said late Monday.
The raids were linked to the violent clashes between police and protesters on May 6, when more than 400 people were detained in central Moscow, the government’s Investigative Committee said in a statement. Those demonstrations came the day before Putin was inaugurated.

After, six more years of Putin, I'm sure Russia will start to resemble Belarus.
