I was sent a petition this morning. It concerns a cross-party anti-illegal immigration march that the authorities may disallow. Not being a Russian speaker myself, I can’t advise when and where (presumably Moscow) the March is planned to take place. But it is a repeat of one organised like year, images of which can be seen here. It is claimed that 5,000 marched peacefully and out of love of Mother Russia. A website for the March itself can be viewed - and read by Russian speakers - here.
The petition is calling for our signatures to demonstrate support for the marchers, and to help convince those who have the power to ban their protest that the anti-illegal immigration cause is a just and important one.
You can, if you wish, add your signature here.
