Former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov accused Russian authorities of illegally crushing an anti-Kremlin march on Saturday and called the protest a victory for opponents of President Vladimir Putin.
Kasparov, who was among at least 170 people detained during a march organized by opposition coalition Other Russia, appeared briefly outside a central Moscow court after being charged with public order offenses during the banned protest.
"Today the regime showed its true colors, its true face," said Kasparov, who turned 44 on Friday, and is one of the leaders of Other Russia.
"I believe this was a great victory for the opposition because people got through and the march happened," he said to applause from about 10 supporters carrying roses.
Kasparov was defiant and spoke confidently during a brief adjournment in his court hearing. He was accompanied by his lawyer, Karina Moskalenko.
Kasparov said protesters had been beaten throughout the day, Mosnews reports.
