'No experience needed': Russian riot police launch recruitment drive

Number of online ads surges after nationwide protests against jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny

Russia's riot police have launched an online recruitment campaign in the weeks since nationwide protests erupted over the jailing of the Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.

Police forcefully dispersed tens of thousands of people who took part in three protests in January and early February, when Navalny returned to the country from Germany and was later jailed for two and half years.
