1,500 Anti-Fascists March in Moscow

One month after far-right nationalists marched through Moscow's city center shouting 'Sieg Heil,' at least 1,500 people marched from the same square in an anti-fascist protest on Sunday afternoon. "Let them see that we are many and that we are not afraid," said Garry Kasparov, the former chess champion, who with the liberal parties Yabloko and the Union of Right Forces, or SPS, organized the march under the title, "Moscow Without Fascists." siehe auch: Activists, Liberal Parties March in Moscow. Hundreds of activists, liberal political parties and other groups marched through downtown Moscow to protest growing racism and extremism in Russian society. With patriotic songs playing and riot police and guard dogs looking on, participants carried Russian flags and placards on Sunday reading ``We Won't Give Moscow to the Fascists'' and ``Say No to Fascism.''
