Thousands of people rallied in the Russian capital of Moscow on Tuesday in a major show of protest against President Vladimir Putin. It was the largest display of opposition to Putin since he returned to the Russian presidency last month. The rally came days after Putin signed into law harsher penalties for unlawful assembly at protests. Following the rally, Russian police raided the homes of three top opposition activists, seizing computers and other possessions.
