REN-TV television reported that about 1,500 people gathered in Novoaltaisk, a city in Russia's Altai region near the border with Kazakhstan.
The protests came a day after several hundred Communist Party supporters rallied in Moscow to condemn the fee increases and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's government.
