At least 40,000 people turned out to protest in support of Navalny in Moscow today, as per @Reuters.
I'll keep updating this map with further data as media estimates the number of protesters in each city. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1oK3DmxUzJpCBG9LRXttitsdfYJPHXyK2&usp=sharing

Early estimates put the number of protesters across Russia at 110,000 or more, of whom at least 1,600 people have been arrested. The numbers are comparable to the 2017 March protests triggered by FBK's investigation into Medvedev (then FBK estimated a turnout of 150,000).
