Pensioner protests continue in Russia
(Наэту статью довольно много ссылок)

Published Sunday, January 16th, 2005
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) - Police stopped angry retirees from blocking traffic Monday, the third day of protests in President Vladimir Putin's hometown against welfare benefit cutoffs that have sparked the largest outburst of public anger in the Russian leader's five years in power.
Lines of police blocked hundreds protesters from retaking an intersection where key avenues meet in central St. Petersburg, which thousands of pensioners occupied Saturday and Sunday, bringing traffic to a halt.
The demonstrators, most of them elderly, remained on the sidewalks, shouting "Shame!" and "Down with Putin!" and beating spoons against saucepans under red flags. Unidentified young men tried to provoke fights with the protesters.

Pensioner protest gains ground
From correspondents in St Petersburg
17jan05
ABOUT 1000 Russian pensioners blocked the main avenue in St Petersburg to denounce the withdrawal of Soviet-era social benefits as the biggest wave of protests since President Vladimir Putin came to power continued overnight.
Shouting "No to Genocide!" and "Putin is worse than Hitler", the crowd of mainly elderly women and men walked down Nevksy Prospect, bringing the thoroughfare to a standstill.
Other rallies took place in the central city of Samara and Stavropol, in the south of Russia.

Analysis: Pensioner Power

For four days in a row, pensioners across cities and towns in Russia have staged public protests -- in many cases blocking major thoroughfares -- demanding that a new system of cash payments for social benefits such as free medicine be overturned. The new system took effect on 1 January, but due to the long New Year's holidays most Russians didn't feel the pinch until 10 January. According to Andrei Makarkin of the Center for Political Technology, their resulting anger has sparked a wave of public protests on the scale of which Russia hasn't seen since the 1998 coal miners' strikes, "Vedomosti" reported on 12 January.
