The march of the Russian world – BBC

The march of the Russian world – BBC

Organizers of the “Russian March” in the mayor’s office filed a request for a rally concert featuring 10 thousand. People and prepare an application for the 30-thousand march in the National Unity Day on November 4. This was “the Newspaper” said member of the organizing committee of the RM and the leader of the “Russian” Dmitry Dyomushkin. Meanwhile, the current “Russian March” will take place against the backdrop of a deep split in the nationalist environment on the events in the east of Ukraine.

As a liberal path

Among the possible sites in a bid to host the concert appear Novopushkinsky park, playground at the monument to the Soldier of the Fatherland in Maryino and Lublin. One of the variants of the route the procession goes from Pushkin Square to Sakharov avenue in Example shares of the liberal opposition.

It should be noted that the march should be to coordinate with a concert in two metropolitan departments. Concert as cultural event, the Department of Culture of Moscow for 40 days, and the march – in the department of regional security for 14 days. Because of this, often there are inconsistencies in the coordination.

«Due to the fact that the two departments coordinate the march and rally alone, then, for example, may be allowed to live on Pushkin, and march in Lublin – explains Dyomushkin. – And then the police department would veto will not allow to move tens of thousands of citizens in the center of Moscow. Therefore depkultury delaying consideration of the application until the Department regbezopasnosti not dock on the march. Although the law, on the contrary, first concert, and then march ».

Department of Culture of Moscow until the decision is not accepted, and the head of the Moscow department of security Alexei Mayorov previously expressed doubt that the nationalists will provide a platform in the center. The official said “the Newspaper”, which in recent nominations to the center of the organizers of the RM in the center of Moscow was not. In addition, the complexity of the process of harmonization adds fragmentation nationalists several organizing committees, says Majors.

«You will refer to Demushkina, second to second, third to third. It is empty talk, they do not have a single organizing committee and a unified platform. When we receive an application, then look at them all, “- said Mayorov.

Dyomushkin himself explained that” Russian march “has a lot of spoilers and the fake competitors, sending out dozens of applications in the Day of National unity. Dyomushkin also surprised that Mayorov comments apply to the concert, which is not within the competence of his department.

Top nationalists unanimously complain that the authorities did not provide them with the center of Moscow, although liberal “peace march “permission for the same route given.

This” Gazeta.ru “said another organizer of the” Russian March “, the head of the executive committee of the National Democratic Party Vladimir Tor, claiming that the Russian authorities are unpredictable,” Hallmarks of Liberals as a fifth column, but give them a central routes, on the other hand, trumpeting the support of New Russia, accusing Kiev of punitive actions in the Donets Basin and at the same time prohibit rallies in support of the New Russia ».

« Music bound us together ”

Meanwhile, the “Russian March” this year will take place against the backdrop of a serious split in the camp of the nationalists. Ukrainian crisis overshadowed the long-term agenda: According to sociologists the Levada Center, a year ago, in October 2013, the slogan “Russia for the Russian” supported by 66% of Russians, which is the maximum for all the years of measurements conducted by the Levada Center, and in October 2014 years of only 54%.


In these circumstances, many activists of National Socialist organizations went written in Ukrainian volunteer battalions, and the National Democratic Party, former National Bolsheviks and supporters pravoimperskih ideas, on the contrary, took the side of the pro-Russian separatists.

In Specifically, St. Petersburg activist NDP Alexander Zhuchkovsky ferried several hundred volunteers and loads on millions of rubles militias DNR and LC, and many Limonov, monarchists and former members of RNE themselves fighting in the militia.

However Dyomushkin assures that the vast most of the marchers will excite more topical issues of “ethnic solidarity»:

«General slogan -” Russian march for Russian unity. ” A column will be different, and for the New Russia, and for the “glory of the heroes.” Natsdemy come out of the New Russia, the National Socialists – in the National Guard. The rest will come on holiday, will Rodnovers, pagan istarhovtsy and Orthodox gonfalon, and fans, and subkulturschiki Imperials, monarchists. It is a review of all the nationalist forces. People come with different views, so that someone supports Navalny and opposition marches, and someone curses them and wants to burn in hell ».

It seems to smooth out the potential for conflict, as well as to attract a larger number of participants , the organizers have planned to hold a rally instead of a concert.

According to the former leader of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, Alexander Belov, march this year will be not so much political as “a celebratory event.”

According Demushkina, the organizers of the march already has agreements with two rock bands, “they are known for, but not nationalists».

«As long as keep them secret, just in case. Did we connect more ethnic and folk groups, not nationalist. Every year we are negotiating with Kinchevym, but he refuses, “- explains nationalist.

In turn, Belov recalls that on May 1 at the last event, the nationalists had to go through the concert Denis Gerasimov of the far-right group” Kolovrat . ” But the morning came to him with the searches, announced the concert had to be canceled. Meanwhile, a simple scene for a speaker with a microphone and amplifier costs, for example, 200 thousand. Rubles., And the scene with serious musical equipment – there is 1 million rubles.

«It’s good money, so we are in preliminary talks, – says a nationalist. – Denis (Gerasimov) will not be exact, but will hedge more participants, but so far they have not completely solved, we will not announce – this involves external pressure ».

To the traditional” Russian march “rock music Belov wants to add teams, playing folk, from Moscow, Moscow and regions to “color, to comply with the unity of time and generations».

Still does abandon the political agenda nationalists are not going to. According Demushkina, marchers will remind that in Russian does not have its subjectivity, the parliament, the president (“Russians have a president”), Russian is not mentioned in the Constitution.

More The organizers plan to require you to enter the Russian troops, “but not to the Ukraine or Russia, and where – guess.” Dyomushkin promises to name a place right before the event.

«Or 15 minutes of fame, or failure and mockery»

The head of the Political expert group Konstantin Kalachev believes that this year’s “Russian march” guaranteed maximum attention, because at stake for the nationalist leaders put a lot: “Either finest hour, then 15 minutes of fame can turn into something more, or failure, taunts the media, further marginalized, accused of servility and other delights ».

« Authorities offer traditional nationalists booking Lublin. For this reason alone it is evident that let the genie out of the bottle, no one is going. But the genie is torn at will.

But the authorities will do everything to prevent the consolidation of non-conformist-minded nationalists around, unmanaged leaders and common policy provisions. Movement will be crushed and crushed as it was before. Horror story for those who do not want to understand that better than Putin. But things can change quickly with the change of frontmen, “- says Kalachev.

key in the success of the nationalists could be the emergence of new leaders, which could be promoted to attract volunteers like Motorola or Igor Strelkov, the expert, but while militia leaders “prefer to communicate with people from the presidential administration».

Meanwhile, one of the organizers of the event said that the NDP may be invited to share militia leaders, however, party founder Konstantin Krylov this information is not confirmed.

In turn, the head of the foundation, “St. Petersburg politician” Mikhail Vinogradov believes that nationalists to power uses the same tactics as in relation to the participants’ marsh protest “:” drives the depression creates a stereotype of their own powerlessness, generates low expectations of themselves. ” And with regard to the liberals that gave more tactical effect and failed to destroy the protest movement as such, since it is based on “nobody organized rank and file activists.” But the far-right, in his opinion, much less prone to self-reflection, thus grouped into a plurality of warring camps, but because the authorities deal with them is even easier.

If necessary, says Vinogradov, nationalists always useful to demonstrate the “public anger»:

«Put them in front of another” peace march “in order to create a feeling on the part of the protesters that” the people of the war ” , the more easily it liberals underway ».
