The alleged killing of Muammar Gaddafi’s family members by a NATO air strike is evidence of the coalition’s ‘indiscriminate use of force‘, says Duma member Konstantin Kosachev. Moscow saw a number of May Day demonstrations over the weekend, including 3,000 (or 4,500 depending on your source) Communist party members carrying portraits of Lenin and Stalin, and pro-Putin supporters marching with trade unionists.  RFE/RL estimates that ‘hundreds of thousands’ of Russians took to the streets.  Moscow police, who deployed 7,000 officers to cope, said that the day passed without serious incident, although several people were detained.  The Guardian reports that a senior United Russia official says President Dmitry Medvedev wants to stay on in his role next year, and alleged that, contrary to a prior agreement, Medvedev’s allies are ‘waging a campaign to undermine the prime minister‘.  Medvedev’s announcement that he will hold the televised press conference observed annually by Vladimir Putin during his presidency supports this suggestion.
