STORYLINE
Russian opposition protesters held a small demonstration in Moscow on Sunday, a day ahead of a much larger planned rally.
The several hundred demonstrators opposed to President Vladimir Putin held a short march and shouted slogans against the government.
Sunday's march and rally was organised by a coalition of dissidents who have split from the main opposition movement.
The main opposition coalition plans a rally for Monday, the one-year anniversary of a protest on the eve of Putin's inauguration that turned violent.
Alla Naumcheva, an activist with the Left Front that is part of the main opposition movement, suggested that Sunday's rally was aimed at diluting the opposition.
"This event seems to me like a provocation," she said as she passed out flyers for Monday's gathering.
