Protesters Demand Communists Admit Failure Outside Kremlin
Thousands of Russians rallied near the Kremlin walls calling on the Communist Party to admit failure and return wealth and power to the people. The event, linked to a two week party congress, aimed to form a national opposition to drive communism from power. Parade organizers claimed 400,000 attendees, though reporters estimated 10,000 to 15,000. The Democratic Platform sponsored the protest, signaling plans to build a broader anti communist movement this fall.

Mohawks maintain bridge blockade at Oka standoff
Police presence in Oka has 1000 officers in a village of 1500. Ciaccia led talks with four Roman Catholic observers as Kanesatake Band Council seeks a tentative settlement. A weekend riot near Kahnawake grew after a crowd taunted natives and an effigy was hung. Police stormed the barricade last week, a gunfight killed Cpl. Mareel Lemay, and Mayor Quellette pushed for provincial intervention. A Calgary task force will study the dispute as federal figures delay direct action.
