MOSCOW — Russian police detained an opposition leader and a dozen activists during a rally in Moscow on Saturday that drew hundreds of protesters.
Several hundred activists headed by Sergei Udaltsov of the anti-Kremlin Left Front group braved freezing temperatures to rally in central Moscow to protest what they said was the Kremlin’s stifling of democracy, as well as corruption and rising prices.
Authorities had limited the rally to a central square, and riot police started detentions after the protesters moved to the presidential administration building.
