St. Petersburg, Russia—Police detain a protester during anti-corruption demonstrations on June 12, a Russian national holiday. The authorities reportedly arrested more than 100 in this port city on the Baltic Sea and over 100 in Moscow, some of them chanting “Russia without thieves.” The man behind the protests, opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was reportedly detained, and his popular YouTube channel went dark. The veteran activist is seen as the only candidate who can challenge President Vladimir Putin in the 2018 election, but he may not be allowed on the ballot due to embezzlement charges he claims are politically motivated.
