"Russian March" took place in Perm

On November 30, 2008, the "Russian March" took place in Perm , which did not take place in the city on November 15. The event was attended by activists of the Perm branch of DPNI, the Union for National Sobriety, the Solidarity trade union, as well as young people in respirators, among whom were football fans in Amkar club scarves.

In total, about 60 people gathered on Friendship Square near the monument to Slavyanov and unfurled banners "Russian civilization, Russian empire - YES!", "Enlightened nationalism - YES!", "Fascism of the oligarchs - NO!" , and "Putin is a Russian nationalist!" . Then the demonstrators moved along Krupskaya Street towards Makarenko Street, shouting the slogans "Forward Russians, Russians Forward!" , "Beat the Jews - save Russia!", "Glory to the Holocaust!", "Kondopoga, Karagay, guest worker, leave!" and others. At the crossroads of Krupskaya and Makrenko streets, a rally was held at which the lawyer, ex-candidate for mayor of Perm Alexei Chernykh, Evdokim Knyazev, the leader of the Perm branch of DPNI and other activists spoke.

The police, who were watching, did not intervene.

The first application for holding the "Russian March-2008" in Perm, filed by the organizers of the march, Ilya Razzhivin and Denis Lunev, assumed that the action would be held on November 15 along the route from Komsomolskaya Square to the esplanade. Human rights activist Roman Yushkov and deputy chairman of the society "For People's Sobriety" Andrei Litvin also joined in organizing the march. However, on the eve of the procession, the city mayor's office proposed moving the rally to Sibirskaya Street, and then to Motovilikha. Then the organizers decided to resubmit the application in order to hold a rally at Kompros. At this time, Ilya Razzhivin said that he was under pressure: he was offered to hold an event together with Evdokim Knyazev. After that, Ilya Razzhivin refused to hold the procession at all, and Knyazev applied for a march on November 30 along Krupskaya Street, which was satisfied by the local authorities.
