A March Against Hatred was held on November 6th in St. Petersburg. The leader of the Petersburg Yabloko Party, Maxim Reznik, reported to a correspondent of PRIMA -News that the Sportivnaya Metro Station, where the participants had gathered, turned out to be closed because of a bomb threat. In spite of this, the march went on, with slogans such as: "No Fascism" and "Russia - without Putin".
Participants included the Yabloko party, the Republican Party of Russia, the League of Voters, Amnesty International, the Association of Foreign Students, and representatives of the National-Bolshevik party—a total of about a thousand people.
The demonstration was dedicated to the memory of scientist- ethnologist and fighter against racism and fascism Nikolai Girenko, and all other victims of neo-Fascism. This is the second march in memory of the scientist. The first was a year ago on the day of his birthday, October 30th. Nikolai Girenko, a St. Petersburg native, participated as an expert in trials against fascists and was killed by unknown people on June 19, 2004.
Maxim Reznik said that the democratic organizations of Saint Petersburg plan to create an association called "Russia without Racism".
