Thousands attend anti-Maidan march in Moscow

  • 9 years ago
Thousands turned out for a rally in Moscow to condemn the popular uprising in Ukraine’s Maidan Square which ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych one year ago.

Chanting the slogan “We won’t forget! We won’t forgive!” police say around 35,000 people attended the rally which was heavily promoted by state media.

“(I’m here) to support Russia indeed. Finally maybe in the close future the war could come here. Of course America supports all this, NATO as well, it’s clear. I am ready to go to war but what war will it be,” asked one of the demonstrators.

Banners carrying anti-EU, anti-NATO and anti-American slogans were also on display.
