Yesterday in Moscow was agreed with the authorities protest against Russian military incursion into the territory of Ukraine. Although the “Peace March” was initially viewed as an opposition in action was attended by a large number of agents provocateurs, supporting the government’s actions – the supporters of the NPT and the LC, the Cossacks and Orthodox activists, so that without a lot of local clashes pacifist campaign has not done. Estimate the number of protesters at this time have an unprecedented spread – from 5 to 100 thousand people. safety considerations shares have been strengthened: around the perimeter of the police on duty, as well as several dozen paddy wagons, fire truck and coach “Ambulance” . At the beginning of the column of protesters drove two cars of riot police. By the beginning of the campaign came to Pushkin Square cupola head of the Moscow Interior Minister Anatoly Yakunin. The Minister officially reported on approximately five thousand members.
For the opposition march well prepared not only to the security forces in the capital, but also supporters of the current government: all the way to the march on buildings and fences met inscriptions like “Makarevich sold Homeland,” “New Russia”, and from the windows of the business centers hung flags of self-proclaimed folk republics and signs reading “March of traitors.” Later Interregional Public Movement observers “Sonar” gave a figure of participants in 26 thousand people. One of the organizers of the rally Sergei Davidis estimated number of protesters in the 25-50 thousand people. And Boris Nemtsov said from the stage that, if we assume that the crowd outside the metal detector, have to get all 100 thousand.
To 18.00 space of the cinema “Pushkin” to clean ponds was entirely filled with people. This is despite the fact that to get into the cordon area was quite difficult – the metal detector at the entrance framework was established only five or six, to each of them wore a huge queue. Feels correspondent “NO” to go to the Holy boulevard with Pushkin Square (starting point the protesters), we had to spend an hour and a half.
Minor clashes between supporters and opponents of Russia’s actions in Ukraine began even before the framework . In the eyes of the correspondent of “NO”, for example, nearly came to blows two men. Among the provocateurs were Cossacks and Orthodox activists, and people who were holding placards in the spirit of “Democracy – the source of corruption, ‘and even pro-DNR and LC representatives National Bolsheviks. Mikhail Ustinov, who identified himself as a Cossack militias and the DNI, shouting that he was speaking “for United Russia, which stood for centuries” and against the Peace of Brest, tore from Russia to Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States, Finland and part of the Caucasus. A large group of patriots in the wake of a column of supporters gathered around Boris Nemtsov, campaigned against the war. A party “Yabloko” in his “Twitter” reported on a group of provocateurs who, shouting “Shame!” Climbed into the fray.
The most active provocateurs working in the head of the column. Thus, a group of “patriots” twice tried to scatter the protesters tomatoes, and other activists were thrown at their feet fake dollars, hinting at the State Department funding.
I wonder what slogans and opponents of the war in the Ukraine were more aggression than many other opposition actions. Nevertheless, the majority came to the march were calm and did not react to provocations. The crowd correspondent “NO” remarked the young man and the girl who walked holding hands on her shoulder was a flag of Ukraine, he – Russia.
The action ended around 19.00, when the executive secretary of the movement “Solidarity “read the resolution of the action, and police demanded the crowd to disperse, as the rally is not agreed. Sergei Davidis noted that without a few arrests were not sufficient, but the exact number is delivered to the police department at the time of signing of this issue “NO” has not been named.
Meanwhile, shortly before the “Peace March” to the United States Embassy building on Arbat Street in Moscow came about three dozen people with placards “The United States – the world’s aggressor,” “Obama, hands off fraternal Ukraine.” Uncoordinated action was immediately stopped by the police. There were no arrests.
