Ukraine crisis: Moscow rally opposes Crimea intervention

<blockquote>'Tens of thousands - possibly as many as 50,000 - attended the rally in Moscow to oppose the government's intervention in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

"Hands off Ukraine," some of the protesters shouted.

"People who want peace between Ukraine and Russia have gathered here. That's why I'm here," one of the participants said.

There is a sense of shame among protesters over the course that Moscow is following, says the BBC's Richard Galpin, at the rally.

One man told the BBC he felt Russia was turning back to the days of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.'
