Fake Newspaper Hits Russia

ITAR-TASS: MOSCOW, RUSSIA. JUNE 16, 2010. Members of the opposition group Solidarity hold signs with slogans during a protest in Moscow's Triumfalnaya Square. The sign on the left reads: [Interior Minister] Nurgaliyev Must Resign! On May 31 a Moscow opposition rally demanding respect for the right to free assembly was broken up by the police. The rally was staged in support of the 31st article of the Russian Constitution. (Photo ITAR-TASS / Anna Sheveleva) Photo via Newscom

A newspaper with totally unintelligible headlines appeared today in the heart of the Russian Capitol city, Moscow. The perpetrator of the hoax is as yet unknown. Moscow was recently in upheaval due to a protest in favor of police brutality...or was it against? Russia granted the right of free assembly in Article 31 of the new Constitution, except when exercised in relation to controversial issues.
