Russia has accused Western countries of encouraging rallies in support of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Tens of thousands defied a heavy police presence to join the rallies on Saturday. More than 3,500 were detained, monitors say. It was the biggest nationwide confrontation in years between the Russian authorities and critics of the Kremlin. Activist Alyena Popova was at the protest in Moscow.
