The “March in Defense of Children” ended in Novopushkinsky Square in Moscow. Participants of the event collect banners, flags and streamers and leave Novopushkinsky Square. Earlier, the organizers announced the end of the event from the stage and thanked all its participants.
16:29 Evgeny Feldman @feldsparta4
Do I understand correctly that Kurginyan and the company will be fined 100,000 under the new law on rallies for exceeding the declared number of marches?
16:18 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The rally concluded with environmental and anti-capitalist speeches. Boris Kagarlitsky talks about too few participants and the need for local agitation. Next - about cutting down in elite areas of the city and about reagents on the street. Then the anarchists talk about illegal evictions from hostels and about solidarity.
16:15 Marietta Vasilova @synowycu
Irina Bergset announced: “We have collected signatures for the return of the brother of the deceased Maxim Kuzmin to his homeland.”
16:14Ilya Ponomarev @iponomarev
According to my estimates, about 4,000 Muscovites attended the Social March. About 2,000 remained for the rally. I think it’s not bad in conditions of information silence.
16:08 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Look at the March for Children.
16:01 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Father Daniil Konstantinov gives a patriotic speech. “20 years ago, the seeds of evil were sown, which are now sprouting. Are we, Muscovites, ready for unity of action?” He sends greetings from the prisoners of “Matrosskaya Tishina” and from his son in particular.
15:57 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Vladimir Lakeev, former communist deputy of the Moscow City Duma. "Environmental problems are brought about by capitalism. Long live socialism, long live freedom!" Three cheers are heard, like a salute of fireworks.
15:53 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Everyone lined up and went to the buses. The rally is over.
15:52 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Alexey Blindul, Moscow Civil Forum. Criticizes Sobyanin's point of view on attracting labor migrants. “Our city is increasingly turning into something between Ashgabat and Dushanbe. We demand priority in the employment of indigenous residents! Hurray, comrades!” In response - a loud “hurray” and whistles from the dissatisfied. Someone shouted angrily: “P**s!”
15:50 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Dancing to the song Yolki, the last participants of the rally line up in columns. The women ask for a faster bus.
15:46 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Mitrokhin speaks. He says that Moscow is developing “at the expense of people’s suffering.” He opposes the expansion of highways and highways under construction, which “destroy everything green.” “We came to say: we don’t need such urban politics. The Yabloko party proposes to change power in Moscow through the upcoming elections. Yabloko will provide its party list for opposition candidates.”
15:42 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost
A group in defense of small business has emerged. Business-looking people talk about increased taxes. People are creeping out of the square in streams, about 200 people remain.
15:40 Vladimir Burmatov @burmatoff

LDPR deputy Vladimir Ovsyannikov recalled the “March of Scoundrels”: “They called the best people scoundrels. But today they don’t give a damn about children. They will hold their own event.” LDPR deputy Elena Afanasyeva, co-author of the amendment banning the adoption of Russian orphans by Americans, also came to the rally. Haven't performed yet.

Scene at a rally in defense of children.
15:25 Roman Dobrokhotov @Dobrokhotov
Almost everyone at the Kurginyan procession is children under 18-19, or women over 45. Everyone walks in groups, led by young boys with walkie-talkies.
15:21 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
I spoke with the head of one of the delegations - more than a hundred people came from the enterprise. He said that he himself, that everyone sympathizes with the children... After a few minutes of conversation, he said: “The authorities see the need to get people out, which means it’s important. But my personal opinion is that we have a lot of problems. A lot. And this is all PR.” And he asked not to identify himself.
15:20 Alexander Sidyakin @A_Sidyakin
At the March for Children. 20 thousand people responded to the call!
15:17 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
The leader of the “Russian Mothers” Irina Bergset took the stage: “We felt a common impulse and enthusiasm. Together we stepped into a new day, March 2.” Talks about a new national idea.
United Russia deputy and three-time Olympic champion Alexander Karelin took the stage. He asked me to raise my children correctly and support them.
15:16 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
A representative of the Mossovet organization, Kozelsky, says he is glad to see Muscovites and non-Muscovites, “if they have good intentions.” “I am a fifth-generation Muscovite. And I walk on this land and think: is this my land?”
15:14 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Ponomarev put in a good word about Udaltsov. He says that 20 of his assistants (like a deputy) are involved in criminal cases. And further: “Let’s all say: Freedom for political prisoners.” And they said.
15:12 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The rally has begun. Little-known people, simple activists, are on stage. Igor Bakirov utters the stock phrase that “there are more of us than it seems.” But suddenly Ilya Ponomarev, not previously announced, appears on stage. He says that people's private problems are more important than general slogans. That even in his house there is a problem, and he brought ten neighbors with him.
15:12 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
“There are several tens of thousands of us from Moscow, the Moscow region and other regions. All parliamentary parties and more than a hundred public organizations are taking part in the rally.”
The winner of the "People's Artist" Ruslan Alekhno appeared on stage, singing "Beautiful is Far Away." The children's dance group "Angels of Hope" - children with hearing problems - performs with him. “To clap them, we raise our hands and move them with our fingers,” says the presenter.
15:12Sergey Udaltsov @s_udaltsov
The rally “For the Rights of Muscovites” begins on Sakharov Avenue. Social problems of the city will be voiced. There are about 5 thousand people in the area.

Union of Mechanical Engineers of Russia: 146 people, the organizer specified.
15:07 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Ordinary members of non-political groups are more radical. A woman’s voice is heard: “Putin’s gang is to be shot!” Although mostly ordinary people do not chant anything, but just look at each other. Some grandfather is agitating young women for communists. More like just to talk about something.
15:06 Interfax
The number of participants in the “March in Defense of Children” grew from 8 to 12 thousand, at the second event the number of participants increased to one thousand, the press service of the capital police told Interfax. “12 thousand people are taking part in the event called “March in Defense of Children,” starting along Gogolevsky Boulevard,” said a press service employee. In the procession on Strastnoy Boulevard the number of participants grew to one thousand.
15:03 PublicPost
Russian diplomats are taking measures to return to Russia the brother of Maxim Kuzmin, who died in the United States, said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Peskov believes that the rally “In Defense of Children” is “another confirmation that the problem causes an extremely painful and sensitive reaction from our people.”
15:02 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The left is broadcasting about the destruction of architectural monuments, and meanwhile the column has already approached the stage on Sakharov Avenue, where rock music is sounding cheerfully.
14:56 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Everyone is very cold. However, there is a lot of life at the beginning of the column. “Freedom for Sergei Udaltsov”, “Freedom for Leonid Razvozzhaev”. Many are smiling, the flashes of photojournalists are flashing.
14:56 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Musical selection of the march: "Lube", Kirkorov, Russian pop stars and music from children's cartoons like "Song of the Baby Mammoth".
14:54 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Column of the "People's Squad" (patriotic movement for a moral and sober position) and "United Russia".
14:53 @feldsparta4
Column with photographs of dead children.

14:50 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
At the head of the column is the slogan “The Reds are in the city!” Left Front activist Kuzmin is trying to stir people up by talking through a megaphone about political prisoners.
14:47 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
It is worth recognizing that the most numerous and active part of the column is Solidarity. There are chants, vuvuzelas, and a bunch of signs with photographs of “prisoners of May 6th.” In total, about 500 people came. I hear a conversation in the crowd: “We arrived quickly today.” Indeed, the procession is perceived as not the most joyful work.
14:42 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
Conversations at the rally. I’m walking in a column of students: “And we have 10 people here from Vietnam! Two speak Russian.”
14:38 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
“Yes to Mitrokhin, no to Sobyanin.” Mitrokhin himself smiles and tramples from foot to foot at the head of his few supporters. There are only 30 people in his group.
14:37 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
There are a lot of people. We walk along Nikitsky Boulevard. We knead liquid mud.
14:36@s_udaltsov
About 5 thousand people take part in the Social March. The rally will take place on Sakharov Ave.
14:36 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
I spoke with a woman (45-50 years old) from the Federation of Moscow Trade Unions. “I’m generally against the ban on foreign adoption. But we need to keep an eye on it. There are good families who look after their children. We only know the bad.”
14:35 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost
Yabloko has its own themes: “Stop seizing Moscow,” “Mitrokhin is our mayor.” The Yabloko members walk leisurely and chat about this and that. Three ambulances are also moving slowly behind them. Move 20 meters away from the column and you won’t hear anything; the slogans are drowned out by the helicopter.
14:33 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
I’m walking in a column in the tunnel under the new Arbat, they’re chanting: “We won’t give up our children”... And from behind, the “Local” movement shouts: “Local” and “Hurray!”
14:31 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
“No to the closure of hospitals”, “No to the merger of schools”, “No to the increase in tariffs”, “No to the law on registration” - the social bloc went. The column is logically divided into the group of the Left Front and the UCF, the orthodox left, represented by the Interregional Association of Communists, the Rot Front party, the RRP and the RSD, followed by the anarchists, Solidarity and, finally, Yabloko. Moreover, all groups have their own slogans. Solidarity devoted its entire campaign to demanding the release of those detained in connection with the events of May 6. It feels like a mobile Hyde Park is passing in front of you.
14:28 Interfax
In Moscow, 15 minutes before the start of the “March in Defense of Children” event, more than 8 thousand people gathered on Gogolevsky Boulevard, reports the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow.
“About 500 people gathered at the procession, which will take place from Strastnoy Boulevard to Academician Sakharov Avenue,” a message on the department’s website also says.
14:25 @v_parshukov
I see grandmothers in the subway wearing United Russia symbols from head to toe. They are probably going to #MarchForChildren .
14:23 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The brawl with the participation of LGBT activists is over, their flag has disappeared, but the mood of the participants is spoiled - all that is talked about is this conflict. The column moves on with the slogan “Freedom for political prisoners.” A helicopter appeared - a symbol of the respectability of the action.
14:21 @DashaElectra
In her permanent role, Petrenko came to support the children. Either PR, or breadth of soul... #March for the Defense of Children

14:20 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
A conflict arose over the flags of LGBT activists. As the column moved, one flag appeared. Several people jumped up, identifying themselves as security officers. A scuffle broke out and the column stopped. Left Front coordinator Alexei Sakhnin is trying to stop the confusion and give way.
14:17 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The column moved. They are gradually moving from left-wing slogans to general democratic ones. But suddenly the “security service” is missing LGBT activists.
14:14 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
A conflict arose with an aggressive motorist who wanted to drive along Petrovka. "Why didn't you warn me?!" - the man shouts, jumping out of the car. He complains that he cannot get home. They demanded his license. An unusual occurrence at a rally, a crowd of onlookers gathered.
14:13 Yuri Timofeyev @hegtor
The Green Party, apparently, are little men on the #dating #scoundrels' march .

14:12Sergey Udaltsov @s_udaltsov
The social march “For the Rights of Muscovites” begins on Strastnoy Boulevard. About three thousand people gathered.
14:11 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
The first slogan of the march was “Capitalism is crap!” They shout, rather, with a smile. The column is being formed at the corner of Strastnoy Boulevard and Petrovka.
14:08 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (March for Children)
I talked to four young men. He looks 16-18 years old, sportswear, CSKA scarves and an imperial flag in his hands.
- Why are you here?
- Support the children.
- Which ones?
- Who died in America.
— How did Maxim Kuzmin die?
Long pause. One remembers diligently - they left one in the car (Dima Yakovlev - editor's note)... Another: "Maxim Kuzmin - I don't know this one." The two are silent. Finally, the one who recalled: “He died from beatings, and before his death he was stuffed with all sorts of psychotropic garbage for grown men.”
All. The columns have moved!
14:07 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Despite disagreements on the topic of the participation of LGBT representatives, the flags of the liberal movements - Solidarity and the United Front - are abundantly represented. Meanwhile, the National Bolsheviks refused to participate. The well-known Alexey “Ulybka” from the FSB, well known to opposition activists, films people with flags on his mobile phone.
14:04 Reshetnev Stanislav, PublicPost (Social March)
Police radios report that the column has moved. Metal detectors zealously check the contents of bags, and found pieces of paper are checked by the organizers and filmed.
14:03 @feldsparta4
Twenty-year-old members of the Veterans' Party column are dancing to "Lube" with a poster "Killing a child is a crime against humanity."

Kommersant correspondent Alexander Chernykh told a lot of interesting things: 16-year-old girls for chemical castration of pedophiles, and the “Georgievtsy” do not know who the Georgievtsy are. However, the leader of the column said that they were a Moscow movement.
13:17 Yuri Timofeyev @hegtor

On the anti -picket. Shouts that Astakhov defended the pedophile in court and generally a hebist, like Patriarch Kirill. He says that participants in the rally already picked up to him, he complained to the police, and she ignored him.

12:43 Echo of Moscow
Students of Moscow universities are forced to go on march in childhood defense today. In particular, the leadership of the Art and Industrial Institute ordered students to take part in the action in exchange for the closure of debts on tests. Students fear that in case of refusal they may face sanctions. Similar messages come about the situation in some other metropolitan universities.
12:41 Alisa Ivanitskaya, PublicPost (march in defense of children)
An unreal amount of youth in the subway. Basically, 10-20 people come in large groups. Groups gather in the district of a certain team leader with lists. There are middle -aged people and the elderly. The groups are noticeable. I am looking for individual protesters.
12:28 Yuri Timofeyev @hegtor
CHOSTING will begin soon.

The movement "Russian mothers" leads "a march in defense of children for 5 thousand people from the Kropotkinskaya metro to the Novopushkinsky square. The action was decided to hold after the next death of the adoptive Russian child in the United States. One of the demands of the march is to return the brother of the deceased Maxim Kuzmin, Kirill, to Russia.
"Social March", or "march for the rights of Muscovites" , conducted representatives of the left -wing organizations of the city. The gathering of the participants is on Pushkinskaya Square near the Russia cinema, then on the boulevards to the avenue named after Academician Sakharov.
