The Russian march is out of step

The main event of the fall for the far right is approaching March 2011". In September, the creation of a "Central Committee for the preparation of the Russian March, which traditionally included almost all representatives of the leadership of the association "Russians" - Alexander Belov, Dmitry Demushkin, Georgy Borovikov, Vladimir Ermolaev, Vladimir Basmanov and others. A little later, a coalition arose to hold alternative "Russian March", it included lesser-known organizations: "Imperial Union of Youth", National Power Party of Russia (NDPR), "Union of People's Socialists", "Russovet", "All-Russian Union RNV, Moscow branch of the Russian movement against illegal immigration.

There is nothing new in this situation. "Alternative groups" emerge in fact, before every "Russian March". Most often, members of these groups it is not possible to agree among themselves and several actions are held. Yes, in In 2008, the agreed and non-agreed activities were carried out by: "People's Union" and "Russian Image", on the one hand; DPNI, "Slavic Union" and RFO "Memory" - on the other; "Russian DPNI" - from the third; "People's Cathedral" - from the fourth. In 2009, the main "Russian March" was organized by DPNI and Slavyansky Soyuz, and a competing event conducted "Russian Image" and "Resistance". (And that's not counting the small ones. events under this brand.) In 2010, DPNI and Russian Obraz joined forces, and the "march" became the most massive for all the time of his holding. But during the May Day procession in 2011 (this event traditionally less massive than RM) there were again “alternatives”, and in Two marches of Russian nationalists took place in Moscow. True, alternative the procession was separated in time from the main (rather traditional practice), so that everyone could have time both there and there.

It is not surprising that the conflicts that did not stop throughout the year between right-wing radicals also took place on the eve of the Russian March - 2011. Members of the new "initiative group for the preparation of the Russian March" in their statement accused the "Russians" of betraying the interests of the "Russian people" and "collusion" with the authorities. The reason for such statements was the trip leaders of the Belov and Demushkin organization to Chechnya this summer and approving statements of the latter addressed to Ramzan Kadyrov. The vast majority of the ultra-right was sharply negatively assessed as the fact of the trip, and Demushkin's statements. Members of the neo-Nazi blogs and forums also support these statements and claim that the march organized by the "Russians" - "this is a theater and senseless event". However, despite all the statements and allegations, a serious opposition has not yet been created. The newly formed "initiative group" announced its self-dissolution immediately after the "Russian March - 2011".

In general, among right-wing radicals there is a continuous process of creating new coalitions and organizations. It happens as a result of active persecution ultra-right after the events on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow, and in connection with upcoming parliamentary elections. This process takes place heterogeneous, and the creation of a unified organization has not yet succeeded. Talk about a "split" in the ranks of the Russian nationalist movement meaningless, since today there is no such unified movement exists in principle.
