Fresh Russia protests held against Putin victory

Up to 20,000 people lined one of central Moscow's main avenues.

However, this was much lower than the turnouts that followed December's parliamentary election, which the opposition said was rigged.

Similar allegations have surrounded the presidential vote, which saw Mr Putin secure a third term.

Foreign states have accepted Mr Putin's election but observers said the poll had been skewed in his favour.
