/PanARMENIAN.Net/ November 2 the whole day Moscow officials were
discussing the firm intention of organizers of Russian March to hold
that measure in the Moscow metro in spite of the ban. As a result the
authorities said they will take steps not to admit the nationalist
action. However, neither the organizers, nor the participants of the
future rally were intimidated and kept open discussion on where and
how to gather. Moreover, it appeared that there may be at least two
"nationalist events" in the capital. Worried by the attention of
authorities to the Russian march, fascist and skinhead groupings
decided to do it in a different way.

Tuesday Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov prohibited the holding of the
Russian March in Moscow November 4.

Thus, the organizers – the Movement against Illegal Migration
(MAIM) decided to gather in one of the metro largest stations –
Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya instead of the street, as "the authorities
cannot close it and working on the platform would be difficult to
law-enforcers." After a certain number of participants arrive, the
organizers intend to announce the destination for holding the march,
stated MAIM leader Alexander Belov.

Owing to the stir a number of nationalist organizations refused from
participation n the event.

Lately members of those groups discussed their plans for November 4 in
Internet forums. Fascists decided not to go to the metro in order not
to appear on tracing cameras. They will probably visit an authorized
meeting of liberals on the Bolotnaya Square. The organizers of "the
alternative measure" urge their brothers-in-arms to go and "explain
to liberals why they are wrong."

At that long-standing national patriots urged their colleagues to be
careful, as well as to come to the rally not in "organized crowds,"
not to shout slogans and dress in a simple manner to avoid militia
suspicion, reports Vremya Novostey.
