This is Moscow, Russia on February 4th, 2012. That date is today.
These are the people protesting the clearly rigged election, resulting in the victory of Vladimir Putin. 
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see it here 

It’s pretty weird how the protest in this low resolution picture is so much larger than the protests in the media reports, has so many fewer signs, and features identically dressed people standing in the same patterns over and over again. Is that a Russian thing?
Also, why did all of those people protest the results of the March 4th election on February 4th? Perhaps there’s some mass calendar misprint?
If you’re eager to see a similar protest, make it happen. Or … maybe spend the time on a basic plausibility check before posting things?
