For Putin, the former Governor was no longer acceptable: the results of The election in the Region is no longer fit to the Moscow power brokers, and the Governor Furgal was to become popular.
Putin tolerates no rivals; now, as his own popularity ratings due to Stagnation and social misery have fallen, certainly. Because Furgal ran off, were justice allegations at Hand. It’s about murders, don’t scare the supporters: you have no confidence in Moscow’s justice.

To summarize the protesters as a sign of how little Moscow does not care about you.
