The parliamentary election results have left opposition supporters in an angry mood. Moscow has seen crowds of up to 10000 take to the streets; over 300 have been arrested, reports RIA Novosti news agency. Police have counted 2000 demonstrators, but unofficial estimates say up to 10000 people made their way to Chistye Prudy Park to attend a meeting staged by the opposition movement "Solidarnost" (Solidarity). "Shame!" chanted the crowd. The demonstrators claimed the United Russia party had rigged the voting results. Meanwhile, as the Central Election Commission has almost done its counting, United Russia is coming in with almost 50 per cent of the vote. Police had already cordoned the area off for a meeting, which only 700 people had been authorized to join. As the stream of people increased, the designated area overflowed and the crowds spilled into a neighboring area. When they started to block the traffic, police began arresting protesters.

The police blockades prevented several lines of marchers from converging on the square outside the Chamber of Deputies and blocked bus and tram routes. Riot police eventually followed closely behind the protesters on Via del Corso street causing the most violent group to disperse. Lawmakers in Italy on Tuesday will vote on a contested reform bill which many students and professors say will give the private sector too much involvement in the state university system. They claim funding cuts mean faculty positions are going unfilled.
