Protest at U.S., Georgian Embassies
Protests continued yesterday in front of the Georgian and U.S. embassies in Moscow. Pro-Kremlin youth from the Nashi (Ours) and Young Russia movements and the Communist opposition were united in demanding that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili be brought to trial and calling U.S. President George W. Bush “the real terrorist.”
About 500 young Kremlin supporters gathered on Novopushkinskaya Square at 11:00 yesterday morning. Young Russian leader and State Duma member Maxim Mishchenko addressed the crowd, making a speech accusing the Western media of distorting the events of the war and leaving the humanitarian crisis in South Ossetia unmentioned. Nashi leader Nikita Borovikov gathered signatures on a petition to disqualify the Georgian team at the Olympics. Then the crowd marched to the Georgian embassy, where they left a pig’s head at the door.

At about 5:00 the same evening, about 500 members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Avant Garde Red Youth gathered in front of the American embassy on Novinsky Boulevard. They held signs reading “Bush is a fascist, the real terrorist,” “America gave birth to Saakashvili,” “NATO = Nazi” and others and shouted “Yankee go home.”

Viktor Biryukov, head of the press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs (Russian abbreviation GUVD; the police) stated that no extra policing was applied to the demonstrations. The Movement against Illegal Immigration announced the beginning of a campaign against illegal Georgian immigrants yesterday. “We have three addresses,” movement leader Alexander Belov told Kommersant. Movement activists have begun questioning the neighbors at those locations. “We don’t want to misinform the law enforcement organs, but we were told that Georgians were terrorizing people at those addresses,” Belov said.
