Moscow Nationalists Come Out for May Day 2013
Far-right groups organized two May Day actions this year in Moscow, with both taking place on May 1, 2013. The first was a mass procession beginning at the Oktyabrskoe Polye Metro stop and ending at the Schukinskaya Metro stop along Marshal Biruzov Street and the Marshal Vasilievsky Street. Based on Sova’s observation, roughly 500 people attended. The action at Lublino under the name Russian Spring, which was organized by the Russian Action Coalition was, predictably, much smaller – about 150 people attended.
