The processions of activists of nationalist movements within the framework of the Russian March campaign were held throughout the country.

In the Moscow district, Lublino, during the action, gathered activists of nationalist movements, several dozen people were detained. Safety was ensured by large police and combatants. At the same time, it was still decided to close local retail outlets "for technical reasons".
- in Moscow they detained for slogans
In Yaroslavl, where the action took place on November 3, because the next day all places in the city were already occupied, "focused on holding an event without freaks," as one of the organizers of the procession on the Ridus website said. According to him, after visiting a similar campaign in Moscow, the inhabitants of Yaroslavl were perplexed: "What the attitude of people in skins, self -proclaimed Cossacks and religious fanatics have to nationalism. For us, this march format was unacceptable, so we took into account all our observations, listened to constructive tips and did what happened."
As Interfax clarifies, about 100 people took part in the procession who demanded to understand migration legislation and stop illegal migration. The action lasted about an hour and passed without incident along the entire route.
Similar processions were organized in the North-Western Federal District. According to the portal Freekaliningrad.ru , in Kaliningrad the action was held under the slogan "For faith, the king and the Fatherland!" - Local nationalists decided to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the restoration of Russian national statehood and the anniversary of the Romanov dynasty.
According to Interfax , the march participants went from the fish village to the monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the embankment of the Pregol River, and the rector of the Church of the Holy Martyr Nicholas Nikolai with an icon in his hands led the column. The march was consistent with the authorities of Kaliningrad and passed without any excesses, no more than 50 people took part in it.
In St. Petersburg, following the “Russian march”, as it became known to Fontanka , about 80 people were detained. The series of detentions was caused by unofficial measures that were not related to the "patriotic march" from the Gorkovskaya metro station with a rally on the Marse Field, which passed without any incidents and collected about 500 people.
So, after the "Russian march" at the Nevsky Prospekt metro station, three people were detained for a smoke bomb thrown towards the police. In the same place, as the Fontanka writes, the organizer of the “Russian run” Maxim Kalinichenko was detained, supposedly for the transition of the road to the red signal of the traffic light. About 40 people were detained at the Oktyabrsky BKZ, but now only 27 of them remain in the police. Minors were delivered to the 72nd police department at Malaya Balkanskaya, but then released. And also, following the dance of nationalists on Palace Square, 29 people were delivered to the 52nd police department. Another 20 participants in unauthorized shares, like Maxim Kalinichenko, are located in the 72nd police department. They were detained preventively, after passing along the embankment of the Griboedov channel, with whom they planned to turn on Nevsky Prospekt.
The processions were also held in the south of Russia. In Astrakhan, according to the results of the action, seven people were detained, who appeared at the event in masks, thereby violating the law on processions, the Astra Novosti website reports. The promotion agreed with the authorities gathered about 300 people - for the first time an event of this level was held in the city, the source notes. Participants in the "Russian march" in Bashkiria, held in the northern part of Ufa, demanded that they take measures to resolve, in their opinion, the ethnolinguistic conflict existing in the republic, the Interfax agency writes. Activists asked to endow the Russian language with the status of their native language, to prevent the introduction of a mandatory study of the Bashkir language in universities in specialties not related to Bashkir philology and grant equal rights to all applicants to universities.
Activists also proposed streamlining labor migration to Bashkiria and Russia for the whole, in particular, to introduce a visa regime with the states of Central Asia and Transcaucasia, reduce quotas, and strengthen control over Russian citizenship.
The procession took place without violations of public order and, according to the organizers, collected more than 300 people.
Novosibirsk: Two "Russian marches" at once
In Novosibirsk, two "Russian marches" took place, the Sibruy.Ru portal reports. The first action began at 14:00 local time near the house of Lenin. For the first time during all the time of the same events, demonstrators were allowed to walk along the roadway - the road from the library to the center was blocked by traffic police officers.
A couple of hours later, the second “Russian march” began in Novosibirsk: the column exclusively from young people (there were about 200) along the station highway from the “Novosibirsk-Glavny” to the Pervomaisky square. It was organized by the leaders of the Restrukt, Novosibirsk movement against pedophiles and other Russia, who did not want to unite with the "traditionalists". The permanent organizer of the “Russian march” in Novosibirsk Rostislav Antonov explained the division by the fact that young people who participating in an alternative procession consider themselves not nationalists, but National Socialists. “We have a different agenda and different tasks. We are supporters of legal methods,” he said. “We work completely in the legal field and achieve the results are much more serious than those guys can do.”
The main topics raised by the organizers of the march were the problems of building new religious structures without coordination with local residents, the problem of illegal migration and the growth of ethnoprecoma in Novosibirsk, as well as the ineffective work of the regional department of the FMS and the Ministry of Labor and Employment of the Novosibirsk Region, the portal writes.
Similar processions took place in Nizhny Novgorod, Tula, Syktyvkar, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Vologda, Kirov, Ulyanovsk and other cities of Russia.
In the capital "Russian March", held in the Moscow district of Lublin , ended a few hours ago. During the action, about 30 people were detained.
"Russian march" dissociated from extremists
As it became known to the Interfax agency from the leader of the nationalist association "Russian" Dmitry Demushkin, the organizers of the "Russian march" condemn those participants in the action that chanted extremist slogans. However, the activist claims that there were a minority on the procession and they are in no way connected with the bulk of the organizers and participants of the march. “We regret that the media sought out the fried in the Russian march, tried to catch one“ zigomet ”in many thousands of crowds or individuals who tried to provoke riots. 99% of the participants in the Russian march are absolutely normal Russian people,” Demushkin said.
According to him, the event was a small group of provocateurs, which the police for some reason did not interfere with the procession. There were individual people in extremely intoxicated form, which the police for some reason missed through the framework and did not delay, and a small group of people who tried to provoke people. The organizers, for their part, prevented many such moments, ”Demushkin said.
In general, according to the leader of the “Russians” movement, the “Russian March” campaign was almost without incidents.
Folk Unity Day against the backdrop of "Russian marches"
In the Russian Federation today, one of the youngest holidays in the history of modern Russia is a day of popular unity. It was established in 2005 in memory of the events of 1612, when the people's militia, led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, freed Moscow from foreign interventionists.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a greeting to the participants of the solemn evening dedicated to the Day of National Unity, writes ITAR-TASS. “This holiday, rooted in the depths of centuries, addresses us to one of the most striking, heroic pages of our history. Then, in the distant 1612, people of different classes, religious and nationalities responded to the unity of the cruel and merciless enemy,” the agency of the head of state quotes the agency quoted.
Russia celebrates the holiday with festivals, telemarathons, historical tournaments and various shows. So, in honor of the holiday in Yakutia, a telemarathon called "the whole world" would be organized to help the victims of spring and summer floods left without state support due to circumstances. The bright event of the holiday in Chelyabinsk was the holding of the last stage of the city Cup on historical fencing among professionals.
