2010 Riots on Manezhnaya Square
Five years ago, on December 11, 2010, a spontaneous rally under Russian nationalist slogans took place on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow. Up to 50,000 people, mostly football fans, demanded that the authorities protect the national rights of Russians, punish those responsible for the murder of Spartak fan Yegor Sviridov on December 6, and fight against corruption in law enforcement agencies.
