At Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow Rally in memory of those killed in the Donbass.

Fooling the crowd gathered proved quite difficult. By my calculations, at the monument “Tragedy of Peoples” has gathered clearly less than the declared three thousand people.

However, the police counted at the meeting of 17 thousand people. The reason for holding the rally, organizers said, was the discovery of mass graves in Ukraine.

In the crowd that ran from the subway in the drizzling rain, it was possible to meet different people. Orderly rows were Cossacks and some people in camouflage.

Not less organized people looking for black-yellow-white imperial flags.

Next were people in the same bright vests. “The union NIB”, “Association of School without danger”, “Party” voice of the inscriptions on some of them.

“It is a pity that did not say where we are. If you knew that a memorial meeting, I b though candle took, “- told me the girl in a yellow vest and offered to stand under her umbrella.

Some of the protesters said they were obliged to come here to work.

Silent action

Per share were about a thousand people

However, there were in the crowd and those who came to pay homage mountain on their own. Middle-aged woman named Natalia brought great bunch of roses tied with a ribbon of St. George’s:

“I have relatives living under Lugansk. Tells about the horrors that are happening there. Scoffs, and rob and kill! Heart bleeds ! “

” Why did you come today? ” – I’m interested.

“to honor the memory of the dead. And I hope to see someone who’s been there. Learn truthful news and say” thank you “to our militia”, – says Natalya.

People walking near fountains, periodically stopped going to the meeting and asked to be photographed with the flags of New Russia. The hosts welcome flags agreed.

the action itself was rather quiet. From the stage read poems, sang songs and urged the international community to pay attention to the “crime of the Ukrainian army”.

People listened, no shouting back. Some get up away from the scene and discussing everyday affairs.

The organizers of the rally were the All-Russian Public Movement “Mother Russia” and the National Parents Association, co-chaired by the vice-speaker of the State Duma of the “United Russia” Lyudmila Shvetsova.



According to the organizers, this action they will try to attract the world’s attention to those found in the graves of the Donbass.

A few days ago the authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic announced the discovery of several mass graves near Donetsk. As stated pro-Russian separatists in the graves were found several dozen bodies of civilians.

In addition, the entrance to the village Lower Jug observers found an earthen mound, similar in appearance to the grave. Beside her was a stick with a sign, which in Russian were written the names and initials of five people. On the label has been specified and the date of death – Aug. 27, 2014.

the Ukrainian Interior Ministry suggested that a mass grave near Donetsk may be the body of the Ukrainian military.
