Correction Appended
It began inauspiciously. On a frozen afternoon in late November, as Moscow was draped with blocklong plastic billboards, banners and flags, each proclaiming a variation on a single theme — “POBEDA PUTINA — POBEDA ROSSII!” (“A Victory for Putin Is a Victory for Russia”) — a few thousand Russians converged on the city center for a rare act of political theater. It seemed, at first, like a tableau from the last days of the U.S.S.R., those heady months when glasnost swelled the streets with protesters. A handful of dissidents stood on a flatbed truck; a jumble of loudspeakers were stacked below; the crew of foreign reporters vastly outnumbered the local press; and across the way, the secret policemen with their unseen amplifiers were drowning the protest in canned laughter and Soviet waltzes.

More than 1,000 young left-wing protesters braved Saturday’s downpour to march amid a heavy police presence in the demonstration Anti-Capitalism 2005. While the young activists called it proof of the depth of their convictions, numerous onlookers said it was proof their loyalties had been bought and paid for.
A light drizzle started at noon as young people from Red Youth Vanguard, Eduard Limonov’s National Bolshevik Party, and the youth wings of the Rodina and Communist parties formed a column in the park on Chistoprudny Bulvar, chanting slogans such as “Socialism or death!” and “Capitalism is crap!” (more…)

An National Bolshevik Party official said Thursday that his party believed the Kremlin was involved in an attack last month on its members.
“A source in the police told us that Nikita Ivanov, who works for the presidential administration, personally went to free the suspects detained after the attack on NBP activists,” said Vladimir Abel, NBP deputy chairman. (more…)

It is a bad sign when headlines start to get confusing. Didn’t I read this before, a couple of weeks, or maybe a month, ago? Did an underpaid hack, suffering from a hangover on a slow news day, decide to do some creative recycling? Or are news stories starting to run together in my head for some other reason — perhaps because certain things are happening over and over again?
I had that feeling of deja vu when I read about the Monday attack on National Bolshevik Party activists. As many as 30 people, armed with baseball bats and, according to some eyewitnesses, with gas pistols firing rubber bullets, attacked a meeting of opposition youth groups attended by NBP members. At least three people were seriously injured. I felt like I had read this news item a couple of times before. No wonder: well-organized thugs had already attacked NBP activists three times this year, in March and in January during their meetings and once, in February, when a group of activists was returning from a rally.

Masked men wielding baseball bats and gas pistols, several of whom were wearing T-shirts bearing the emblem of the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi, attacked a group of National Bolshevik Party activists Monday night, activists who witnessed the incident said Tuesday.
The attack, which witnesses said lasted only a few minutes, left three people hospitalized. Opposition youth activists and political leaders accused Nashi of carrying out a well-planned attack against the Kremlin’s political opponents and warned of an escalating conflict. Nashi, or Us, which has condemned radical youth groups as “fascists” and proclaimed them to be its primary political foes, denied any connection to the attack. (more…)

// Party Life
Yesterday, the Moscow Mayor’s Office held a conference on “The Activities of a Responsible Opposition in Revolutionary Conditions.” Members of opposition parties and movements amicably condemned the policies of Vladimir Putin and called for a battle against the ruling regime. But they were unable to agree on the forms of that battle. Yury Chernega reports.

// Who was behind the attack on the National Bolsheviks
Patriot Games
Late Monday night, an attack was made on radical leftist youth in Moscow. They were shot with stun guns and beaten with baseball bats. Four members of the National Bolshevik Party were hospitalized. The victims are blaming the pro-presidential Nashi (Ours) group for the attack, although that group denies any involvement. At the police station where the attackers were taken, all information about them has been declared secret and the attackers themselves released. Kommersant has been able to obtain a list of the arrestees, however. It can be gathered from an examination of that list that the attackers were part of an organized group of fans of the Spartak team that has been suspected of having ties with Nashi.

Mark Ames asked me to write something humorous. I said “Yes,” then later I have discovered that I am humorless type. That I am dogmatical, fanatical and crazy. I cannot smile actually, I can laugh dramatical laughing. So, I better to be myself. I will write about my problems. Again.
I have Forty-six members of my party imprisoned. Nine of them are girls. Seven of them underaged persons.
I have Forty-sex by two, or ninety-two parents of imprisoned, to deal with. Most of them understand that Putin’s group is responsible for keeping their children inside prison walls, but few parents anyway are blaming me for the fate of their children. It is hard to bear.
