Russian president Vladimir Putin talks about making Russia great again - restoring its status on the world stage as a country to be reckoned with.
But a recent report has shown that more than one in five Russians now live in poverty and polls suggest that the protest mood is on the rise.
Mr Putin’s approval rating is still around 60% - but it has been sliding.
His move to increase the retirement age – as well as rising prices and shrinking incomes – are prompting some Russians to question the Kremlin’s priorities.

The company which the Electoral Commission suspects may have been behind Britain's biggest political donation has no registered address - meaning it has failed to fulfil a key legal requirement - the BBC has found.
Rock Holdings is a firm registered in the Isle of Man and controlled by Leave.EU founder Arron Banks.
The Electoral Commission's ongoing investigation of Leave.EU funds was referred to the National Crime Agency.
Mr Banks denies any wrongdoing.
But BBC Newsnight has found that Rock Holdings has no official registered address on the Isle of Man and that it is therefore "in default", meaning it is not compliant with company law on the island.
