Journalists on the March

Lenta has a great roundup of Russian press coverage of the weekend's protests - and non-protests. The piece discusses coverage of the "Марш согласных" - which I guess could be translated as "March of Non-dissenters," or perhaps more accurately a "Sycophants' March" or "March of the Lemmings." Lenta's money quote (among others):

"The "Марш согласных" looked most respectable in Izvestia's reporting of events, which was consistent with the spirit and tone of Pravda's Soviet-era front pages."

Robert Amsterdam has a good post about journalists caught up in the action and getting beaten
along with the protesters and discusses what the authorities' motivations might have been for such a harsh crackdown.

Along with Amsterdam, Germany's Der Spiegel asks, "Just What Is Putin Afraid of, Exactly?" [via Russian Standard]

Russophile.com notices a distinct lack of US media coverage of the weekend's events. Big-time American blog the Volokh Conspiracy has a post about Kasparov getting arrested.
