In short:<\/p>\n

The march was successful, the authorities didn\u2019t put any obstacles, in spite of the organizers\u2019 anxiety.\u00a0 There were provocations, but elsewhere; I\u2019ve seen only the tomatoes on the asphalt.\u00a0 What was a surprise for me in comparison with the previous oppositional marches and rallies:<\/p>\n

\n
1. There were much less banners and placards.\u00a0 Nevertheless, there were a lot of them, the photos are in process \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
2. There were much less slogans being cried.\u00a0 It seems to me that it was only the anarchists and a small group of nationalists (some part of the Russian nationalists don\u2019t support the invasion of Ukraine) who were crying often and loudly.\u00a0 Other persons were mostly talking to each other.\u00a0 Besides, it was only the nationalists, as I could understand, who were crying \u2018Honour to Ukraine!\u00a0 Honour to the heroes!\u2019 (a slogan of Stepan Bandera\u2019s Organization of the Ukrainian Nationalists, became popular again during the events in Ukraine last winter), unlike the previous March of Peace.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t mistake and this was really so, than it\u2019s probably for the better: to invoke a spirit of Bandera is not really a good idea.<\/li>\n
3. Our opponents were much more active this time; I don\u2019t know what it could mean.\u00a0 Their pickets could be seen along all the route of the march (behind the police cordon).\u00a0 They were crying, which is interesting, that they supported Ukraine and it was the \u2018world capital\u2019 that had unleashed war.\u00a0 But their banners against the \u2018traitors from the fifth column\u2019 were more than eloquent.\u00a0 The most funny was a group of people in the Cossack uniform under a red flag with a vernicle.\u00a0 Christian communist Cossacks, no comments\u2026\u00a0 An old lady was walking at the same place and crying: \u2018We won\u2019t let you make a Maidan!\u2019\u00a0 As I could see, she was simply ignored \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 There were some people in our column as well who did support Putin\u2019s policy.\u00a0 I heard a sharp discussion behind; probably one of the participants of the march took his friend with him who didn\u2019t belong to the liberal public.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think they managed to overpersuade one another \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n
4. It was probably the first time I saw people with badges of the organizers and security.\u00a0 The organization, by the way, was quite well, as previously.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   There were of course not so many people as at the \u2018marches of millions\u2019, but surely much more than at the first March of Peace six months ago, that is really fine.\u00a0 The type of people was mostly the same as previously\u2014polite, friendly, with a good sense of humour.\u00a0 Maybe we are only sixteen per cent of the population, but these sixteen per cent are mostly those people I don\u2019t feel ashamed to walk in one column with.\u00a0 Fighters against Maidan are quite different.<\/p>\n

   \u2026On my way to the march, I met my schoolmate in the railway station, he was going to see off his friend moving to the USA.\u00a0 It looked symbolic, unfortunately\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
