MOSCOW, March 22 (UPI) -- The members of a pro-Putin "Walking Together" youth movement staged an unusual rally in Moscow Saturday to protest the U.S. invasion in Iraq. The demonstrators brought 1,000 jerricans of oil to the residence of U.S. envoy to Russia Alexander Vershbow as part of their campaign dubbed "Oil in Exchange for Peace."
