## split into young and old people

Nationalists who supported Ukraine in conflict with Russia, unlike supporting Novorossia, who gathered at the October Field metro, came to the traditional Russian march in the Moscow area of ​​Lublin.

One of the organizers of the “Russian march” in Lublin, the representative of the Black Bloc, Vladimir Ratnikov, believes that although the split occurred against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis, as a result, the nationalists split, first of all, on an age -related basis. “Novorossia, mainly, was supported by older people, Ukraine - on the contrary, is younger. We (in Lublin) have the bulk of nationalists - youth. In short, there is a “Russian march” normal and “Russian march” for crazy old people who are held in the October Field. This split is even useful to us, because it merges all marginal elements there (on the October field). This is only into the hands of it, so that like a tank there is a second “Russian march,” Ratnikov explained to the NT correspondent.

This year, the participants of the “Russian march” in Lublin advocate the government’s resignation, against corruption and replacing migration, as well as for free Internet, Ratnikov explained.

“The nationalists who are here, pour into a general fence protest. We were all on Navalny’s shares, went to general cities, and those in their narrow heap - sectarians. That march is also anti -Putin, but it is ridiculous when one hundred grandfathers gather and say that we should overthrow Putin. Who will overthrow Putin there, this hundred grandfathers? " - says Ratnikov.

"That march is also anti -Putin, but it is ridiculous when one hundred grandfathers gather and say that we should overthrow Putin"

However, not much more nationalists gathered for the action in Lublin. According to preliminary estimates of the Analytical Center “Owl”, which is monitoring the activities of nationalists, about 300-350 people came to the event, the representative of the Center Vera Alperovich told NT.

"We did not miss a single flag at all"

The police at the framework of the metal detectors carried out a thorough inspection of the arrivals: they forced to remove caps and scarves, unfasten the jackets, checked the contents of bags and backpacks.

To the left of the framework of the metal detectors stood a tent through which those who came to the action with slogans took place on the march. Law enforcement officers who were on duty at the tent did not miss many slogans, even despite the fact that all the slogans and banners, according to the nationalists, were agreed in advance with the Moscow authorities. “We have not yet missed a single banner at all. If you have all the documents, they cannot compare two pieces of paper and understand that our banners are agreed with the mayor, ”Artem complains from the Black Bloc.

Law enforcement officers did not give the “Black Bloc” to carry on the march their central banner “National Socialism is not a German past, but a Russian future”, as well as stretching “against Marxism and capitalism”, “Rising prices, taxes of poverty, this is not chosen” and “Corruption is the problem-we will give an answer to the system”.

Not all banners were also allowed to carry other organizations that came to the march in Lublin. For example, the parties of nationalists were not allowed to take the slogan "Freedom to Dmitry Demushkin." As a result, already on the spot, many nationalists abandoned further participation in the action, which made it even smaller. Nevertheless, here, in contrast to the peace procession in Schukino, the police quite harshly detained the participants, Maltsev later declared dozens of detainees.

Nationalists were scared of the revolution

According to the organizers of the “Russian march”, many people decided not to go to the event due to fear of the consequences of participating in it. “The flywheel of repression is spinning, people are intimidated, people are afraid to go to stocks, because it often ends with large fines, and sometimes already deadlines. They are trying to sow fear in people, so today there are not a lot of people today, ”said Konstantin Filin, representative of the nationalist party.

One of the organizers of the march from the Black Bloc, Artem (he refused to name his surname in the conditions of “present-time”) suggested that some nationalists decided not to go to the action because of the statements of the Saratov oppositionist Vyacheslav Maltsev, a leader recognized by the extremist movement “artillery”*, who announced the revolution in Russia on November 5.

“Now in the nationalist movement there are repressions, showdowns, discords, and I think that not the last reason why few people came is Maltsev. Many people, at least those who wrote to me, decided not to walk, because “there will be some kind of massacre,” because “the FSB has already tied Maltsev activists,” said Artem.

“The flywheel of repression is spinning, people are intimidated, people are afraid to go to stocks. They are trying to sow fear in people, so today there are not a lot of people "

He himself, according to him, is not going to go to the “revolution” on November 5. “There will be no revolution there, there will be a maximum of some riots that Maltsev will again arrange. There, people are tied for terrorism, the movement is recognized as extremist, there, I think, to anyone who has come out, they will want to attach participation in an extremist organization, ”he suggested.

The head of the Moscow branch of the Nation and Freedom Committee Vladimir Burmistrov also informed NT that representatives of his organization were not going to respond to Maltsev’s calls. He added that his committee does not consider “artillery”* nationalists because of Maltsev’s statements, “who calls on the Caucasians and all the others to support his“ revolution ”, as he calls it.”

National Socialists for Navalny

At the same time, nationalists surveyed by oppositionist Alexei Navalny, many of the participants in the “Russian march” previously went to his shares. So, the 15-year-old schoolboy Artem with the Navalny badge on the jacket and the flag of the Nationalist Party in his hands said that he was detained for rally on March 26.

Artem, he said, is the “extreme opponent of Putinism”: “I support Navalny because he is fighting against Putin. Putin is a symbol of Russophobia. Under Putin, Russian nationalists are necessarily arrested. Now Putin mixes us with the Chinese and Caucasians. ”

“Therefore, I am for Navalny. I say "Glory of Russia!", I say "Russia without Putin." And on this day I will say it as loudly as I can, ”the schoolboy warned.

As his friend explained, 14-year-old Maxim, he and Artem are representatives of the Youth Organization of Nationalists (Mon), the youth wing of the nationalist party. “We direct our activities to the development of moral values ​​among young people and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle,” he explained.

The organizer of the action from the Black Bloc also stated that his movement supports Navalny and is ready to vote for him in the presidential election.

“In a sense, Navalny now is a political ram in a new political era, where all political forces can at least compete, put forward their ideas, create parties. He previously positioned himself as a nationalist, National Democrat, talked with different nationalists. The anti -migrant agenda is not alien to him. This is what corresponds to our idea, ”he said.

Artem described the ideology of the Black Bloc as “National Socialism, Russian nationalism with an eye on the preservation of the racial-ethnic nucleus of the nation”. “We understand the nation, including as a racial, ethnic core. That is, our blood principle is important. Even if a person Tajik, speaks in Russian, loves Russian culture, with all due respect to him, he will never be able to become Russian, ”he explained.

"I am a doctor, your mother"

While the party of nationalists and the citizens who joined it began the procession, the police called on the rest of the participants to go beyond the scope of metal detectors and leave the territory fenced for the march.

After people began to go through the framework, point detention began. So, at the entrance to the action, about 10 people were detained, they were all imprisoned in one car zak.

Part of the people who left the “Russian march” arranged a spontaneous procession with flags up along Lublin Street, which passes perpendicular to the Perepereva. However, it was promptly crushed by the joint efforts of riot police, the police and the National Guard.

People were detained selectively, but quite tough. During the detention of one of the men, the girl in camouflage form tried to tear him out of the hands of riot police, but the riot police rudely removed her. As a result, a low green fence was demolished, enclosing a plot of land on which the incident occurred, and the girl herself fell to the ground.

The girl was lying without moving: obviously, she felt bad. Law enforcement officers squeezed the audience, forming a small ring around the girl, but no one tried to help her. Later, an elderly man broke through to her. “I am a doctor, your mother. Leave me alone, she is sick, ”he told OMON employee, who crouched next to the girl. The doctor asked the girl how she feels, but she did not answer. Having examined it, he said that she had a very high pulse. Later, a resuscitation machine came to the scene of the incident, and the girl was taken away. In total, she lay unconscious for about 10 minutes.

"The march was doomed"

According to the Owl Center, only about 200 people who went under the flag of the nationalist party took part in the march.

Among the detainees were the head of the Moscow branch of the Nation and Freedom Committee Vladimir Burmistrov, a representative of the nationalist party Konstantin Filin. According to the OVD-Info, 41 people were detained, including at least 20 supporters of the Nation and Freedom Committee. The leader of the nationalist party Ivan Beletsky informed the Rain television channel about 70 detainees.

The representative of the Owl, Vera Alperovich told NT that Belotsky’s data are “to put it mildly, exaggeration”. According to the center, about 20 people were detained for the shares.

“This march is different from all previous processing process and the attitude between participants. After the Moscow authorities combined the applications of competing organizations into one, the march was doomed. Typically, on large ultra -right shares, the organizers are declared separately and come to “measure strength”. Today there was a feeling that this association was intentional, ”says Alperovich.

As she explained, the organizers initially performed Alexander Gruzinov from the Nationalists' Party, ”which refused to organize even to the action, George Shishkov from the Nation and Freedom Committee, Vladimir Ratnikov from the“ Black Bloc ”, Roman Kovalev, who, in fact, has no one, but was ready to cooperate with the“ nation and freedom ”and“ Black Bloc ”, as well as the“ Russian human rights league ”, close to the close Party of Nationalists.

"We direct our activities to the development of moral values ​​among youth and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle"

The party of nationalists, in turn, is close to Maltsev: its associates called on nationalists, in addition to the "Russian march", also to go to the revolution announced the next day. The Black Bloc and the Nation and Freedom Committee, allied with each other, told NT that Maltsev was not supported.

“Initially, there was a conflict between the Black Bloc and the party of nationalists, and another conflict between the party of nationalists with Kovalev. They had internal contradictions. Having combined applications into one, the city hall actually appointed a party of nationalists with the chief organizer of the “Russian march”, with whom the others were not ready to cooperate, ”Alperovich explained.

When the police refused the participants to carry part of the flags, Ratnikov, Burmistrov and Kovalev to the promotion that they would not participate in such a march. The party of nationalists decided to close her eyes to the banner’s ban on and announced the intention to hold a march anyway, calling the provocateurs who refused to participate, ”said the representative of the Owl.

“For the first time, the Lublin“ Russian March ”was practically equal in number with an alternative march in the October Field,” she concluded.
