MOSCOW - Russia’s feared riot police have launched an online recruitment advertising blitz in the weeks since nationwide protests erupted over the jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.

Police forcefully dispersed tens of thousands of people who took part in three protests across Russia that spanned January and early February, when Navalny returned to the country from Germany and was later jailed for 2-1/2 years. OMON units of the Russian National Guard, who work at protests across Russia, posted for jobs on Headhunter 1,607 times from Jan. 24 to Feb. 24. That compared to just 151 job ads in the same period last year.

“No experience is required,” read a job description for police snipers for the Second Special Regiment on Headhunter’s page, promising candidates a monthly wage up to 70,000 roubles .
