Moscow: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for supporting the election protesters and warned of a wider crackdown on unrest.
By describing Russia’s parliamentary election as rigged, Putin said on Thursday Clinton “gave a signal” to his opponents.
“They heard this signal and with the support of the US State Department began their active work,” Putin said in televised remarks.
Russian protesters have taken to the streets in Moscow and St. Petersburg for three straight nights despite heavy police presence, outraged over observers’ reports of widespread ballot box stuffing and manipulations of the vote count in Sunday’s parliamentary election.
