On the "Day of National Unity" Maikop (Adygea) will host "Russian March"
The public organization "The Union of Slavs of Adygea" declared that it would take part in the "Russian March" to be held on November 4 on the "Day of National Unity" and called out "all those who do not separate their fate from the fate of the Russian people and Russia to join them." This fact has become known to the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot" with a reference to the printed body of the "Union of Slavs" - the newspaper "Zakubanye."
We remind you that the "Caucasian Knot" informed earlier that on November 4, on the Day of People's Unity, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, a meeting will be held "For Russia without Fascism!" The meeting is planned by antifascists as a response to the "Russian March" announced for November 4 by the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (MAII) and other right-wing groupings who stand out first of all under slogans against Caucasian natives.
"We've decided that it is not fair when in the country the sole OMON is counteraction fascism. Here, we move our claims to the authorities, who have first brought everything to this state of things, and now forbid and disperse, while they needed to have been bothered much earlier of the xenophobic and anti-Caucasian disposition of the society," Anna Karetnikova, editor-in-chief of the web-site "VoineNet.Ru" of the Movement Against Chechen War, told the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot."
"We do not stand out to ban the "Russian March" - we are for clear observance of the law. But since the last year's march demonstrated that this is not the case, and we read Internet resources and see how the passions are heated by such citizens like Mr. Kuryanovich, State Duma deputy from the LDPR (Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia), and others of the sort, we have no grounds to assume that the law will be much respected at this march, in particular, the legislation provisions on kindling inter-ethnic enmity and discord."
We mark here that today in Adygea none of the oppositional movements - "Union of Slavs," "Circassian Congress" and "Khabze" ("Nafna") - and other public movements have stood out against holding the "Russian March" in Maikop.
