Russian news sources are suggesting that the protests in St Petersburg do after all have a link to the Orange Revolution. Gazeta.ru, newsru.com and others are reporting that protestors have set up some orange children's tents at the intersection of Sadovaya Ulitsa and Nevsky Prospect. Update: Fontanka.ru now says that there are six tents - one large one and five children's ones. They are of various colours - not only orange - and have been moved off the tramlines on to the sidewalk.
There are photographs at Fontanka.ru, but these seem to indicate an increased presence of "NatsBol" (National Bolshevik) supporters, and a general decrease in numbers from yesterday.
There are also reports of demonstrations in Stavropol, where 5,000 protestors blocked the centre of the city, and in Samara.
