Russians protesters in the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad plan to protest a new anti-protest law by taking their rallies across the border to Poland.

The new anti-protest law, which was accepted by the Russian parliament earlier in this week, has forced many opposition-oriented people in the city of Kaliningrad (the most Western city of Russia) to hold rallies in nearby Poland.

The law was initiated by United Russia party deputies after the mass protest rally movement had formed in Russia. Aptly to the law, fines for violating “rally rules” have hight from one thousand rubles (about 33 dollars) to 300 thousand rubles (about 10 000 dollars).

The Western Russian enclave of Kaliningrad borders Poland and its residents have the right to go to there without European Union visas, for several days. Kaliningrad residents who support the opposition movement have decided to go there during the forthcoming weekend, when many of them will go shopping or attend Euro-2012 soccer matches in Poland.

Viktor Gorbunov (from the regional labor union) has told to Interfax that the rough law about rallies has forced them to relocate their protest meetings to Poland and that many local residents in Poland and EU citizens will see their protest.
