Moscow police detained dozens of participants at a Communist Party rally after marchers began chanting slogans including "We want freedom", "Down with Roskomnadzor", "No to political repression" and "Freedom for political prisoners". Some also denounced the ruling party, reportedly calling it a "party of crooks and thieves". The detentions highlight the Kremlin's tightening crackdown on public protest, and observers are debating why even a loyalist party's march met with repression.

Why now: The detentions of even establishment-aligned protesters underscore Russia's escalating suppression of dissent, drawing wide attention.
