iving United Russia a bigger victory. “Nonsense!” Nah-Nah’s fans insisted. “Nothing depe nds on the vote. Our only option is protest.” The Navalny faction thought there was hope for the collaborating parties. “If they could get enough seats in Parliament, you would see how quickly the y would move away from Putin.” The Nah-Nah enthusiasts disagreed. “The moment the y get to Parliament, they will obey Putin like wel l-trained puppies.” Though no one could convince anyone else, more and more people entered the conversation, more and mo re people abandoned the apathy that is the very fo undation of the Putin government. A few days before the election, I heard a rumor th at United Russia would be satisfied with only a si mple majority, as opposed to the two-thirds majori ty it has now — the party’s main concern is that t he presidential election in March appear legitimat e, so that Mr. Putin can replace Dmitri Medvedev, his underling and the current president, and stay in power until 2024. But in the end, when the gove rnment said that United Russia received half of th e vote, most Russians knew the results were manipu lated, and suspected the party got even less. That is because voters, fueled by the debate betwe en Nah-Nah and Navalny, came to the polls armed wi th cameras. There was footage of abuses and many a ccounts of corruption: witnesses said that the hea d of the Election Commission had thrown packaged b allots into a voting bin and that pro-Putin youth voted multiple times with fraudulent IDs; impossib ly different results from incredibly similar polli ng stations have been posted online. And the gover nment-controlled television stations said nothing.
On Monday, the day after the election, there was a protest in the center of Moscow; despite the rain , thousands assembled — a sight unseen since the t ime of Perestroika. The leaders of the Nah-Nah mov ement and Mr. Navalny’s supporters stood together. The police arrested nearly 300 people. Among them was one of the authors of the Nah-Nah strategy, I lya Yashin, as well as Aleksei Navalny himself. Th ey were held by the police all night, prevented fr om meeting with their lawyers. In the morning, the y were brought to court and sentenced to 15 days f or disobeying police orders and obstructing traffi c, respectively. An even larger protest is planned for Saturday. It seems that the government has decided to turn the two into heroes. Valery Panyushkin is the author of “12 Who Don’t A gree: The Battle for Freedom in Putin’s Russia.” T his essay was translated by Yevgeniya Traps from t he Russian. ~~~~~~~~~~ NYT-1210: THE SATURDAY PROFILE Rousing Russia With a Phrase ... By ELLEN BARRY Aleksei Navalny has aroused Russians angry over wh at they say were fraudulent parliamentary election s, rebranding Vladimir V. Putin's United Russia pa rty as "the party of swindlers and thieves." ===== notyet MOSCOW — The man most responsible for the extraord inary burst of antigovernment activism here over t he past week will not speak at a rally planned for Saturday, or even attend it, because he is in pri son. Cut off from the Internet, Russia’s best-known blo gger will have to wait until the next morning, whe n his lawyer will take him a stack of printouts te lling him what happened — whether the protest fizz
