Looks like protests have erupted since this happened, with some protest signs in english, and people are getting arrested too. Does anyone know what’s going on with that?

Sounds like a spontaneous opportunistic NED/CIA/western-billionaire-NGO colour revolution attempt to me.

That was my immediate thought too. The English signs threw me off the most, it’s not like they need to reach a wider audience so what gives? It’s very fishy…

Signs in English used to be quite widespread in such gatherings. Same with pro-EU "protests" in Georgia, Armenia and back in 2014 in Ukraine.

Yeah and the smell of money was always following them right to the Washington.

English signs can mean two things:

They want "the international community" () to notice them and do something.
It is a lot easier to get the guys in Langley to approve your slogans when you don't try to make them read a foreign language.

I reckon that neither is going to convince any significant number of Russians of anything other than the fact that these libs are making fools of themselves.
