In September 2005, one of the regional branches of the NDPR tried to repeat the experience of its "colleagues" two years ago and announced a competition of school essays and student works "What does it mean to be Russian today." The poster-announcement of the competition is "decorated" with a stylized swastika.
It should be noted that, without formally limiting participation in the competition by any limits other than age (from 14 to 23 years), the organizers for some reason ask to provide a photocopy of the passport (birth certificate) and a photo along with the application. So far, the competition is held only in Tomsk and the region and is an initiative of the local branch of the NDPR, which, by the way, has not yet been registered.
Recall that in 2004, after a similar all-Russian event, in the organization of which, together with the NDPR, the Committee of the State Duma of the third convocation on culture and tourism took part, and the "platform" for awarding the winners was provided by the Moscow University for the Humanities (the former Higher Komsomol School) - a scandal erupted : the organizers (as, indeed, one would expect) encouraged and promoted exclusively ethno-nationalist works.
That scandal had no consequences. And now the Tomsk NDPR is trying to repeat the "experiment".
