The leader of Russian opposition movement Left Front, Sergei Udaltsov, detained during Sunday's rally after calling on activists to nail their demands on the doors of City Hall, has been released, police said.
A number of rallies dedicated to Constitution Day, celebrated in Russia on December 12, took place in Moscow on Sunday. Most of them were sanctioned by authorities.
In a separate development, a group of football fans circled around the Russian capital's center on Sunday chanting nationalist slogans, a day after Spartak Moscow fans clashed with police near the Kremlin following the death of a fan killed in a fight with a group of North Caucasus natives last week.
