Police in St Petersburg have confiscated 52,000 copies of a special edition of Obyedinyonny Grazhdansky Front, the weekly paper of the Russian opposition party headed by former chess champion Garry Kasparov. The copies were due to be distributed in and around Moscow ahead of a rally today. The rest of the edition destined for other locations, about 48,000 copies, was not seized.
