People stand along Garden Ring avenue holding their hands up during opposition protest in Moscow, Russia, Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012. Thousands of people are holding hands to form a 16-kilometer (10-mile) human chain encircling central Moscow in the latest protest against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Opposition activists estimated that they needed 34,000 people to complete the chain along the Garden Ring on Sunday and they appeared to have succeeded or come close. (AP Photo/Mikhail Metzel)
