In Novokuznetsk, nationalists were not allowed to hold a rally

On November 22, 2012, the administration of the city of Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Region, refused to allow the Russian Patriotic Club (RPK) to hold a second "Russian March" on December 2.

The organizers planned to hold a procession from the circus building along the streets of Kirov, Friendship and Oktyabrsky Prospekt and a rally at the cinema "Siberia", in order to attract the attention of the public and authorities " to the problems of the Russian people, as the state-forming nation of the Russian Federation ." In response to the application, signed by the head of Novokuznetsk, it is said that the stated goal is in conflict with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. " Drawing attention to the problems of only the Russian people, as the state-forming nation of the Russian Federation, is regarded as inciting ethnic hatred, which, in accordance with Article 1 of the Federal Law "On Counteracting Extremist Activity" of July 25, 2012, refers to extremism," the document says.

Let us recall that the PKK did not allow the march on November 4, 2012 either. The few activists who decided gather for an unauthorized event, were stopped by the police.

The PKK said it was going to march without permission from the Administration.
