Analysts said the budding movement has kept its momentum a month ahead of Russia's presidential polls, after its latest rally repeated the success of previous protests despite freezing temperatures.
Bundled up in down jackets, sheepskin coats and felt boots, protesters turned up on Saturday for their third rally.
"It is important that the number of people is not going down despite the cold and the fact that this is already their third rally," said Maria Lipman, editor at Pro et Contra journal published by the Carnegie Moscow Center.
"People's convictions are only growing stronger," she said.
The march on Bolotnaya Square over the Moscow river from the Kremlin was the third mass rally since fraud-tainted December 4 parliamentary elections sparked demonstrations that smashed the taboo against protests in Putin's Russia.
"We will come again,,canada goose parka jackets have always been on the priority list of males." organisers wrote on their Facebook page on Sunday morning under a picture of protestors sending hundreds of balloons into the Moscow winter sky.
One the chief organisers of the anti-Putin movement, politician Vladimir Ryzhkov, said he did not rule out holding a mass rally on February 26, one week before the polls, though most likely it would be a smaller "flash mob" action.
"The big meeting is going to be on March 11 since, as far as I am aware, the extent of the fraud in the presidential elections is going to be huge."
