Protests reported in St Petersburg last night over pressure on opposition candidates in September's local elections, according to local news website Fontanka

@BBCMonitoring This man is SuperMan💔Sending him love. I wish he’d been able to get his run in. Ugh Poor guy.

@BBCMonitoring He’s going to need a lot of help. Russia has been corrupt for decades and the culture is deeply ingrained. Navalny is a very brave man. There are many in Russia who do not want to see him succeed.

@BBCMonitoring In America a woman also fighting for justice in her country has been jailed while corrupt leaders are free. Disgraceful. #FreeRealityWinner #FreeAlexei

@BBCMonitoring This, sadly, was predictable...

@BBCMonitoring He got time take selfie and post on social media with comments 😂😂😂

@BBCMonitoring Russia: can’t have an opposing candidate if you arrest them

@BBCMonitoring @sarahkendzior where does he find the strength & courage to keep being present for all this ?

@BBCMonitoring Я надеюсь, что эти жестокие виды спорта будут отменены, только поощрять насилие.
