Dozens detained at a rally in Moscow held by Kremlin-friendly Communist Party, party says
The party said its Moscow branch is seeking the release of mostly young detainees after the rally ended.
- On Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, Moscow police detained about 60 people at a rally held by the Kremlin-friendly Communist Party marking the 33rd anniversary of the 1993 bloody clashes.
- The 1993 violence capped a standoff between President Boris Yeltsin and hard-line lawmakers opposing free-market reforms; military forces shelled the parliament building, and authorities reported 123 people were killed.
- During the rally led by 82-year-old Gennady Zyuganov, participants chanted slogans including "Freedom for political prisoners," "For fair elections," and "Down with the Tsar," according to the Telegram channel Ostorozhno Novosti.
- The Communist Party's Moscow branch is working to release the mostly young detainees, while the party steadfastly supports the war in Ukraine despite avoiding direct criticism of the government.
