Nationalists detained in Sergiev Posad

On September 15, 2012, in Sergiev Posad (Moscow region), the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Moscow region detained 11 right-wing radicals.

One of the young men was dressed in the uniform of Nazi Germany, and two more had armbands with Nazi symbols. Documents are drawn up in their regard “for making a procedural decision.”

On this day, bikers held a rally in Sergiev Posad in memory of Leonid Frolov, who died on June 30, 2012 in a fight with traders at a local market. A native of Azerbaijan is suspected of killing Frolov, so nationalists tried to join the bikers’ action, but this initiative was not approved by the bikers. According to media reports, the bikers themselves behaved extremely correctly and ended the memorial event by laying flowers at the scene of death. Sources
