On November 4th 2006 in Russia

03-11-2006 15:04

The so-called Russian March on the newly declared Day of National Unity follows last year's example when around 3000 people under the slogan «Russia against the Occupiers» marched through Moscow.

The majority of the participants were Nazi skinheads who displayed Nazi salutes, stylized swastikas and shouted Nazi slogans.
