    That was my immediate thought too. The English signs threw me off the most, it’s not like they need to reach a wider audience so what gives? It’s very fishy…

      Signs in English used to be quite widespread in such gatherings. Same with pro-EU “protests” in Georgia, Armenia and back in 2014 in Ukraine.

      English signs can mean two things:

      • They want “the international community” (international-community-1international-community-2) to notice them and do something.
      • It is a lot easier to get the guys in Langley to approve your slogans when you don’t try to make them read a foreign language.

      I reckon that neither is going to convince any significant number of Russians of anything other than the fact that these libs are making fools of themselves.
