Putin protest pics - Berlin

A protest in Berlin this time. Five thousand people, not a small number. There's a few pictures there if you want to see them all. I personally was interested in some of the protest signs, noting that the Sochi sponsors are also now being targeted. 

My opinion of this is that it's very significant. Putin and his band of homophobic haters may well use the extensive Russian propaganda network to make out like everything's OK, but do the major sponsors possess such determination? My guess is that there's some very concerned people in these corporations that are wondering where all this is going, and is it worth the sponsorship money to have their name dragged through the dirt?
