Russian protests go nation-wide

Russians are gearing up for a day of protest that could see tens of thousands of people fill Moscow's streets - an incredibly rare scene in the Russian capital.

Demonstrators are angry at recent election results that kept Vlamidir Putin's United Russia party in power.

Putin, who is currently the prime minister, plans to run for president next year - a post he's already held twice and while his ruling party suffered a blow at last week's elections, it still has the majority in parliament.
