How dangerous are the Navalny protests for Putin?

In Russian cities from the far east of the country to Kaliningrad, people took to the streets on Saturday to call for Navalny's release and protest against the state leadership - defying a ban on public assemblies and freezing temperatures. Police arrested around 4,000 people across the country. Europe's press speculates on whether this is the beginning of the end for Putin.
