Roughly 500 rallied near the U.S. embassy in Moscow on Sunday. Those were the activists of pro-Kremlin Rossia Molodaya (Young Russia), Novye Lyudi (New People) as well as the residents of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria. All of them were protesting against double standards of the United States in respect of unrecognized republics.
To begin with, the activists let a few piglets into a special pen. Wrapped into the U.S. flags, the piglets "personified the swinish policy of the United States in respect of those states," said Rossia Molodaya briefer Lily Bagramova. Then, the floor was taken by leaders of the rally's arrangers, Vladimir Vasin and Maxim Mishchenko, and representatives of unrecognized republics.
"At the end of the meeting, the participants unanimously voted for creation of an International Youth Assembly called For Democracy and Rights of the Nations, Bagramova said, pointing out 100,000 signed for recognizing independence of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdniestria.
