RECOMMENDATIONS OF FORUM FOR CIVIL CONSENT - AGAINST INTOLERANCE AND EXTREMISM

Public chamber of RF, Commission on interethnic relations and freedom of conscience Moscow, April 27, 2010
 Ethnic and religious intolerance, extremism and violence generated by them are a threat for peaceful life and development of society; they undermine the principles of democracy and lead to breaches of rights and freedoms of a human.
Russian national-radicals are turning into terroristic force pursuing political purposes before our eyes. This is already not a simple demonstration of nationalistic symbols and ideology and not just attacks on migrants. This is cruel terror, demonstrative acts of threatening, blasting of markets, cafes, migrants’ hostels, churches, mosques and synagogues. This is mass purchase of arms and fabrication of explosive devices. This is publication of lists of “enemies” on the Internet. This is murders of judges, lawyers, human rights activists, journalists and public expressions of devotion to the ideas of fascism on Hitler’s birthday. This is endless statements about necessity to put an end to authority called “anti-Russian” by radicals.

An attempt of Latvian neo-Nazis to mark the 69th anniversary of capture of Riga by Hitler’s troops failed. Their shameful procession was dispersed by the police in the very beginning when its participants started demonstrating anti-Russian and anti-Semitic slogans. Hitler’s epigones did not manage to reach the Monument of freedom, and not just policemen but also Latvian anti-fascists blocked their way. The credit must be given to Riga authorities, the mayor of Latvian capital Nil Ushakov as they suppressed the fascist onslaught. One can’t but note that the government of Latvia condemned the actions of neo-Nazis.
