Protesters in central Moscow chanting “Down with the Tsar!”

Some have broken off and are heading to the Matrosskaya Tishina jail where opposition leader Navalny is being held.
Matrosskaya Tishina is where the Moscow protest ended last Saturday, late in the evening. It looks like a much greater number of activists is already heading there today.
The scene confronting the protesters on the road leading to Matrosskaya Tishina jail. Looks like allowing big crowds there is a total red line for authorities.
The protesters who have got through to the Moscow jail holding Navalny are being picked off one by one.

There have been at least 2,100 arrests in Russia today.
