Anti-government demonstrations in Russia – in pictures

Extract from The Guardian

Russian authorities arrested the opposition campaigner Alexei Navalny and hundreds of his supporters on Monday, as they mounted demonstrations across the nation against government corruption. More than 200 were detained in Moscow and St Petersburg an hour into the protests, according to an NGO that tracks arrests

About Me

My photo
The Worker
I was inspired to start this when I discovered old editions of "The Worker". "The Worker" was first published in March 1890, it was the Journal of the Associated Workers of Queensland. It was a Political Newspaper for the Labour Movement. The first Editor was William "Billy" Lane who strongly supported the iconic Shearers' Strike in 1891. He planted the seed of New Unionism in Queensland with the motto “that men should organise for the good they can do and not the benefits they hope to obtain,” he also started a Socialist colony in Paraguay. Because of the right-wing bias in some sections of the Australian media, I feel compelled to counter their negative and one-sided version of events. The disgraceful conduct of the Murdoch owned Newspapers in the 2013 Federal Election towards the Labor Party shows how unrepresentative some of the Australian media has become.
