Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and president-elect Prime Minster Vladimir Putin walked at the head of tens of thousands of trade unionists and students carrying banners and Russian flags, as well as pro-Kremlin placards, as they marched into into Manezh Square near the Kremlin, in pictures shown live on Russian television.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Mikhail Shmakov, the chairman of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia joined the two leaders. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
