Thousands gather for Putin's battle cry

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Moscow in support of presidential hopeful Vladimir Putin.

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Moscow in support of presidential hopeful Vladimir Putin, with numbers rivalling those of recent mass protests against his 12-year dominance of Russian politics. Bussed in from surrounding towns and cities, the rally was all about proving that Vladimir Putin is still Russia's most popular politician. In a fiery speech he issued a battle cry, loaded with patriotic rhetoric. He said: 'We are all ready to work together for the sake of our great motherland. We are not only ready to work, we are ready to defend it.’ To defend it at all times and forever. We won't allow anyone to meddle in our affairs or impose their will upon us, because we have a will of our own.'On the national holiday known as Defenders Of The Fatherland Day, there was a clear effort to entertain the crowds. Older fur-clad Russians danced to Soviet rock and roll, while buckwheat was served from an old field kitchen.Unlike the anti-Putin demos there wasn't an iPad in sight as some donned traditional Russian costume to take part in a tug of war competition.Some attended the rally with gusto.One man told reporters: 'Putin will be president for this term and the next. Only this will make Russia stable. When we had Tsars for 40 years, Russia was able to rise from it's knees and become a great country.'Others were a little confused over the exact nature of the event. One woman said her employer invited to a music concert - not a pro-Putin rally.Most placards were in Russian and had things like 'For the Motherland, for Stalin, for Putin' written on them. One read, in English, 'In Putin We Trust' - although the man holding it did not know what his banner said as he didn't speak English.Rumours of people being ordered to attend such meetings have been rife.Head teacher Yelena Travina, who lost her job when she refused the order to send her employees to a pro-Putin rally, said: 'I felt horrible, hurt and angered at what happened.'I have only received praise in my job so far and then I got into this purely political conflict. I was belittled in front of other employees and thrown out of work. It was a strong blow.'The effort behind this rally suggests genuine concern over the recent anti-Putin protest movement.In just over a week's time he will almost certainly regain his old job. The doubt lies in just how smooth and successful a tenure it will be.
