Protests in Moscow – level 3

Thousands in Moscow took to the streets in protest against corruption and demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Medvedev.

Police detained hundreds including Alexei Navalny, the opposition leader who called for the anti-corruption protests.

Difficult words: detain (arrest).
