>Thousands of protesters have gathered in Moscow in a show of anger over disputed parliamentary polls.
20-25 thousands, exactly. In 10 million Moscow it is like a drop of water compared to the ocean. Other cities have gathered even less - St. Petersburg (2nd Russian capital) has gathered 3000 protesters, other big cities - about 1000-2000.
Besides, the meeting was a total failure - a bunch of people of very different political views (liberals, communists, nazi, etc.) were united only by dislike towards the government. No exact demands and the leaders could not even agitate the crowd well enough.
All in all, people have expressed their anger, calmed down and went home, thus proving Russia is more civilized than the West
