1500 Outside Russian Counsulat for “Noon Against Putin”, as Putin Extends his Rule of Russia

March 17 2024 MANHATTAN, New York – 1500 people lined up outside of Russian Counsulat on the UES in NYC in protest of Putin’s elections in Russia.

People across the world gathered in peaceful protest on 17 March of the 2024 Russian presidential election, where voters who do not support Vladimir Putin came en masse to polling stations at noon and voted against Putin or spoil the ballot.

The protest has been described by the Novaya Gazeta as “Navalny’s political testament” as it was the last political statement by prominent Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny prior to his death.

Putin was declared a winner of the election, extending the one man-rule in Russia after election devoid of credible opposition.

Putin will rule until at least 2030, longest-serving Russia leader since Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
