MOSCOW: Around 120,000 people on Saturday attended a rally against Vladimir Putin's domination of Russia, organisers said, as a protest leader vowed to bring one million out on the streets for the next demonstration.

“120,000 people have come,” Russian politician Vladimir Ryzhkov who organised the protest, said. “Next time, we will bring one million people onto the streets of Moscow,” blogger Alexei Navalny, who has emerged as a figurehead of the protest movement, said in a speech.
