There have been two unauthorized protests took place on 20th and 27th of July. There have been around 15000 - 20000 people gathered in rally. Kremlin has managed to control the previous rallies so far by using tighter security and political with acceding to demands of people gradually. However, this policy is not feasible in long run.
If the number of protesters grow in coming weeks, this would signal a major growing momentum for protesters. Even it will encourage the protesters. Then we will be focus on Kremlin reaction. So far, Moscow is successful to contain the protest in Moscow but not in other regional canters.
