http://www.euronews.net/ Russians have been back on the streets of Moscow, although in far smaller numbers than last weekend's mass demonstrations over electoral fraud.

The liberal Yabloko party rally drew a crowd of up to 3,000.

Their leader, Grigory Yavlinsky, is expected to be nominated as a presidential candidate on Sunday.

The Communist party was also meeting on Saturday. It unanimously picked Gennardy Zyuganov to run for president in what will be the veteran leader's fourth stab at the Kremlin.
