(13 Dec 2011) HEADLINE: Russia's stunning protests end with hint of change CAPTION: Tens of thousands of people held the largest anti-government protests that post-Soviet Russia has ever seen to criticize electoral fraud and demand an end to Vladimir Putin's rule. (Dec. 10) [Location - Date:MOSCOW / AP TELEVISION -- DEC. 10] THOUSANDS OF DEMONSTRATORS TURNED OUT ACROSS RUSSIA SATURDAY TO PROTEST ELECTORAL FRAUD AND DEMAND AN END TO VLADAMIR PUTIN'S RULE. [Notes:NAT SOUND -----] THERE'S NO SIGN THE PROTESTS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO FORCE PUTIN OR HIS UNITED RUSSIA PARTY TO CHANGE -- BUT POLICE SHOWED SURPRISING RESTRAINT. AND STATE-CONTROLLED TELEVISION GAVE THE DEMONSTRATIONS UNEXPECTED AIRTIME. PUTIN HELD POWER AS RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT FOR TWO TERMS --- FROM 2000 TO 2008. AND HE PLANS TO RUN FOR A THIRD TERM IN SEVERAL MONTHS. IN RECENT ELECTIONS, HIS PARTY LOST ITS TWO THIRDS MAJORITY IN RUSSIA'S PARLIAMENT -- ALTHOUGH IT DID RETAIN A NARROW MARJORITY OF SEATS. [Notes:NATSOUND--------] BUT THE OUTPOURING OF PUBLIC ANGER IN MOSCOW AND OTHER CITIES CHALLENGES HIS IMAGE AS A POLITICAL LEADER WHO STILL HAS THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE. [Notes:SOT -----------UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER/NO SUPER] "this is my citizen's opinion...i think that....putin and medvedev...got to know that a lot of people don't agree with politics." [Notes:VO ---------------] IN MOSCOW, POLICE ESTIMATED THE TURNOUT AT 30-THOUSAND, BUT PROTEST ORGANIZERS PUT THE FIGURE MUCH HIGHER. FEWER THAN 100 DEMONSTRATORS WERE SAID TO BE ARRESTED NATIONWIDE. [Notes:NATSOUND ---------] OPPOSITION LEADERS SAY THE NEXT LARGE PROTEST IN MOSCOW WILL BE HELD ON DECEMBER 24TH. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
