http://www.euronews.net/ Saturday's protests in Moscow and several other Russian cities against Prime Minister Putin have sparked comments that the ruling Russian elite is out of touch with popular sentiment, and may be a sign of things to come.

20 years ago today saw the end of the Soviet Union when the then president of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev resigned. Yesterday on the radio he said Putin should do the same.
