Anarchists in London showed their support for anti-G8 protesters in Russia, where any attempt to challenge the dominant voices of the world's leaders is being brutally suppressed.

Whilst several of the group discussed the reasons for the protest with those in the Chamber of Commerce, others handed out leaflets to members of the public who demonstrated their support and sympathy with the protesters.
