By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer

airport Saturday as 10,000 others jammed the avenues in President
Vladimir Putin (news - web sites)'s hometown of St. Petersburg to
voice their anger over a law that stripped them of some key welfare
benefits. It was the largest show of discontent since the Kremlin
leader took power nearly five years ago.

former KGB operative, to resign. The group in the Moscow gathered
under red flags â the color of the Soviet Union â amid cries of "Down
with Putin!"
