A 1,000-strong protest of ‘out of control‘ football fans chanting nationalist slogans was left contained but undisturbed by Moscow police, whose actions were praised by Solidarity leader Ilya Yashin: ‘If the riot police had provoked violence, it could have led to many casualties.‘  A Memorial activist says he suffered a concussion from being attacked after responding to a call for help.  Transparency International puts Russia in its second most corrupt category, below Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq and India, in a new poll indicating that global corruption is on the rise.  A Kremlin administrative head expressed a similar sentiment: ‘our society’s level of infection with this illness [of corruption] is extremely high, but we can not talk about a pandemic.‘  Presidential Aide Sergei Naryshkin says that Russia is still engaged in systemic measures of cracking down on corruption, particularly on efforts within G8, G20 and CIS frameworks.  The entire top tier of police officials in Vladimir Oblast have been sacked for ignoring crimes; and a former Tula policeman has been given a ten year jail sentence for killing a suspect.
