Hundreds of people were detained by riot police in Moscow on August 3, a week after a similar demonstration in the Russian capital ended in a police crackdown with more than 1,300 detained. A large number of riot police were deployed in the city after authorities warned they would "take all necessary measures to stop provocations" at the unsanctioned protest to demand free elections in Moscow.
