On December 12, 2008, in Moscow, on Chistoprudny Boulevard, right-wing radicals held a "rally of the Organizing Committee of the Russian March", timed to coincide with the Constitution Day of the Russian Federation.
From 300 to 400 people came to the action, many of them were journalists. The vast majority of those present were young Nazi skinheads, many in respirators.
The protesters gathered under the imperial flags, many of which were turned upside down with a black stripe: the youth received the poles and banners separately and collected them themselves, and the organizers did not manage to correct all the flags.
Dmitry Demushkin (Slavic Union), Ivan Strukov (Russian National Bolshevik Front), Georgy Borovikov (NPF Memory), Vladimir Tor (Movement against illegal immigration, Russian Order), Konstantin Krylov were seen on the podium (GENUS). Activists of the "National Power Party of Russia" were present as observers, which, we recall, suspended its membership in the Organizing Committee of the "Russian March", supporting the "Russian DPNI" during the split.
The sound of the microphone on the podium was so bad that the speakers could hardly be heard. From time to time, the participants of the event began to chant "Glory to Russia!", "Russian March!", "Forward Russians!", "Down with Article 282!" . At the same time, traditionally, part of the Nazi skinheads threw up their hands in a Nazi salute. Many posed for each other, demonstrating the Nazi salute without any connection to the performances.
Police officers, who were very numerous at the action, even in the subway stopped separate organized groups of young people to check documents.
