Washington Post Article 5/16


This article is about how a group against the United Russia party is planning a "festival of resistance." Preforming will be a group called Boston Tea Party. The opposing groups say their goal is to end United Russia’s monopoly on power, in part by pressing for open and fair elections.

I think it is sad that some people in Russia believe the United Russia party has a monopoly. I am not suggesting I think there is or is not a monopoly, I'm not one to say. I hope the civil unrest seen at the beginning of the year does not flare up again in Russia.
