I guess he didn't like the presents he received for his birthday.

290 arrests in anti-Putin march on Russian leader's birthday - CNN

Russian police arrested 290 protesters in 26 cities as marches took place against President Vladimir Putin on the leader's 65th birthday, according to independent monitoring group OVD.

Thousands attended the marches on Saturday, held by supporters of Putin's only real political opponent, activist Alexei Navalny, who is serving a 20-day jail term for organizing an unauthorized public meeting.

It is very difficult to legally organize protests in Russia, where public assembly laws have been tightened several times since Putin's current presidential term began in 2012.

Nice Putin mask. I wonder if any costume stores have any in time for Halloween.

They say that Navalny is not eligible to be a candidate due to his "criminal record" (which he says is bogus), but he's still running anyway.
