Russia Crimea Demonstration
Demonstrators carrying Russian and Ukrainian flags march to oppose president Vladimir Putin’s policies in Ukraine, in Moscow, Saturday, March 15, 2014. Large rival marches have taken place in Moscow over Kremlin-backed plans for Ukraines province of Crimea to break away and merge with Russia. More than 10,000 people turned out Saturday for a rally in the center of the city held to oppose what many demonstrators described as Russias invasion of the Crimean Peninsula. In a nearby location, a similar sized crowd voiced its support for Crimeas ethnic Russian majority, who Moscow insists is at threat from an aggressively nationalist leadership now running Ukraine.
