Russian Protesters Put Up ‘Putin Go Away’ Banner Across From Kremlin | Russians opposed to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s eventual return to the presidency today put up a large yellow banner on a building across from the Kremlin reading “Putin go away.” A Solidarity leader, Ilya Yashin, said the banner faced the Kremlin because “Putin was and remains the master of the Kremlin.” Yashin added on a blog post: “He is the constructor and ideologue of the political system that has destroyed competition in this country.” Police later removed the banner but not before photographers could snap a few photos, courtesy of Reuters:
