The protest movement is made up of people who have been banned from Russian politics. The Russian Communists have not been banned. They are the only opposition Putin allows to run against him. The real opposition is mostly made of patriotic Russian nationalists such as Alexei Navalny who do not want to keep wasting Russia's money subsidizing a giant non-Russian empire.
