May Day Crawl

A Russian Communist supporter wearing a mask of Russian President Vladimir Putin crawls during a May Day demonstration in central Moscow yesterday. Communists have been angry over plans by Putin's government to alter Soviet-era social benefits. Tens of thousands of people from across the political spectrum flooded onto Russia's streets as the nation marked the Soviet-era labor holiday, which coincides with Orthodox Easter this year.May 02, 2005
