Nationalist rallies in Moscow

On May 26, 2007, on the eve of the gay parade planned by the LGBT movement activists , 2 right-wing radical rallies were held in Moscow, unlike the gay parade - sanctioned by the authorities.

About 300 activists of the National Socialist Society (NSO) and the Party for the Defense of the Russian Constitution "Rus" , having unfurled the flags of the NSO, gathered at 15:00. at the main entrance to the VVC. Lined up in rows, they listened to their leaders' speeches, throwing up their hands in a fascist salute at the end of each speech. In the hands of one of the neo-Nazis was a portrait of Hitler. The meeting was dedicated to the "dispersal" of the gay parade scheduled for May 27.

NSO activist Maksim Romanov, who took the floor, ended his speech with the farewell message "Have a good hunt, wolves!" . "Companions" responded to the call of friendly "Glory to Russia!" . Another speaker quoted Hitler as parting words.

Among the participants of the rally, the infamous leader of the Nazi organization "Format 18" Maxim Martsinkevich, nicknamed "Tesak", was noticed.

The police did not react to the rally, except that one of the participants was asked to take off his T-shirt with the inscription RNE.

The second rally with the participation of national patriots was held on Slavyanskaya Square. The organizers of the action in support of the defense industrial complex and "Orthodox values" were S.
