Countrywide protests against raising of the pension age, organized by supporters of opposition figure Aleksey Navalny, have ended in calls to disperse and mass detentions from the police. The pension reform law, passed by the Duma in July, will see the working age eventually extended by five years – to 65 for men, and 60 for women. Multiple surveys conducted by leading pollsters during the summer showed 9 out of 10 Russians oppose the legislation.
Since the first reading of the law was approved, Vladimir Putin’s personal ratings have fallen by double digits, and the president proposed softening the terms of the reform in a televised address last week
