Sounds like a spontaneous opportunistic NED/CIA/western-billionaire-NGO colour revolution attempt to me.

That was my immediate thought too. The English signs threw me off the most, it’s not like they need to reach a wider audience so what gives? It’s very fishy…

English signs can mean two things:

They want "the international community" () to notice them and do something.
It is a lot easier to get the guys in Langley to approve your slogans when you don't try to make them read a foreign language.

I reckon that neither is going to convince any significant number of Russians of anything other than the fact that these libs are making fools of themselves.

Signs in English used to be quite widespread in such gatherings. Same with pro-EU "protests" in Georgia, Armenia and back in 2014 in Ukraine.

Yeah and the smell of money was always following them right to the Washington.
