Unfortunately, the vast majority of participants in the demonstration in St. Petersburg are people in the old clothes of the European political system (left -wing against the right). There were practically no smart, original, relevant movements capable of creative synthesis, although there were pleasant exceptions.
May Day 2013 in St. Petersburg came out bright and numerous. Good sunny weather contributed to the fact that the incredible variegation of political forces and public organizations came to Nevsky Prospekt-from "United Russia" with the vice-governor, led to the most fierce opposition. Official data suggests that on May 1, 200 thousand people took part in various demonstrations. The figure is incredible for Peter, but it is extremely difficult to check its reliability.
It is characteristic that after the subsided by Bolotnaya and Sakharov, the opposition lost the general vector of activity, so they fragmented as much as possible. Everyone preferred to go their own narrow -ideological column. Communist Party and non -parliamentary left. All kinds of trade unions and the "Labor Party of Russia". The left front split into two parts. Anarchoecologists-Antiph and anarchoecologists-nationalists ("Green World"). The liberals went along with the LGBTshniks, for the second year in a row turning their democratic march into a gay parade.
Nationalists on Pervoma-2013 demonstrated the maximum fragmentation in recent years. Instead of the traditional single right column, the Bondarik-Kurnsova Bloc, the National Democrats, the National Democratic Party (yes, are different movements), as well as the national socialist initiative (NSI), was separately.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of participants in the past demonstration are adherents of dilapidated ideologies, people in the old clothes of the European political system (left -wing against the right). There were practically no smart, original, relevant movements capable of creative synthesis. If the nationalists, then supporters of the oligarchy and the market model of management (and if some other, were silent about it), if the socialists, then for the "labor power" in a deindustrated country, migrants and the tolerance curve. If democrats, you will receive a homophilic agenda instead of the struggle for civil freedom. Each is allotted for their six, while the play society dominates.
In all this multicolor, the main sensible force, which has long overcome the vulgarly understood “right-leve” coordinates, was our “other Russia”, which took a logical place in the demonstration-at the end of the red column in front of the nationalists. We cheerfully walked with the banner of "select and divide", where the intelligent transcription of this brutal slogan was assigned below - "Nationalization plus natural rent." Against the backdrop of political motions that have been born over the past couple, new, but secondary, doomed to break up and gather, the national bureaucrats looked like a solid formation, methodically going their own way.

In addition to “other Russia” by a noticeable movement, which proclaimed both social and national ideals, the NSi was mentioned, the organization of Dmitry Bobrov (Schulz), which competently gathered a spectacular column of right -wing guys in black clothing, who performed under anti -capitalist slogans, however, not without unnecessary brown dope. Perhaps the current May Day is a certain breakthrough for the NSI, the brightest action of this small organization.
I admit, I underestimated Bobrov’s potential when he was released from prison. I thought that the National Socialist Organization created by him was hastily created-this is another party of 2-3 people, a club named after himself. At the beginning of the zero of such loud dwarf Nazi brands, who unsuccessfully trying to attract skinheads to their side. However, the NSI decided not to chase cheap popularity and PR, but to prove her viability with a long, painstaking work. The positive result is obvious, although, by and large, an organization that openly calls itself the National Socialist (that is, the Nazi, we will speak directly), led by Dmitry Borovikov, in Russia, will be isolated from great policy simply because of its nature.

However, the subtleties of ideologies were traditionally not interested in journalists and bloggers who recorded the Pervomaisian demonstration. In addition to the column of gay activists who carried the scarecrow of Milonov hated by him along Nevsky Prospekt, the second informal of the right and Antifa on Palace Square was the second informal, which ended with the meaningless detention of the latter, when riot police, without understanding the essence of the conflict, traditionally dared everyone in a row.
