(101,355 posts)3. Would that be Pavel Zarifullin of the Eurasian Youth Union?
Around 500 people have gathered in the centre of Moscow for the so-called Imperial March, organised by the Eurasian Youth Union. The city authorities gave permission for the rally, but did not allow the group to march through the city.
With the flags of the new Russian Empire flying over one of Moscow's squares the Eurasian Youth Union has launched its so-called Imperial March.
This controversial far-right group at times mirrors the radical views of nationalist movements. And although they say they are different, the police are nevertheless meeting them head on, armed with barriers and metal detectors.
Besides our Russian members we have here around 300 guests from Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Latvia, and so on. They believe that we all live in the same country. They came to the capital of their country. We want to restore Russia at least within the boundaries of the USSR, said Pavel Zarifullin, Leader of the Eurasian Youth Union.

In Russia the Eurasian Youth Union has allied itself with Russian extremist organizations like the National Bolshevik Front, the DPNI and other groups of that type. It organizes and takes part in the annual Russian Marches in Russia and other countries of Eastern Europe. Very often these marches are accompanied by violence, especially in Ukraine.[5]
The ESM took an uncompromising approach to changes that happened in Ukraine after the Orange Revolution in 2004. In particular it set up branches in several Ukrainian cities, voiced its sharp criticism of the pro-Western Ukrainian government. The ESM has been behind a string of attacks on property and organizations they deemed pro-Western. It organised attacks on several Ukrainian Security Service branches, monuments to UPA veterans and hacker attacks on the website of the President of Ukraine. The most prominent of these attacks, that received nation-wide attention was the desecration of Ukrainian state symbols on Mount Hoverla in October 2007.[6] The other attack on Ukrainian targets was in Moscow, where several of ESM members trashed an exhibition devoted to the Holodomor, a term referring to the Ukrainian portion of the Soviet famine of 1932-1933, which is believed in Ukraine to have been a Stalinist genocide targeting Ukrainians.[7] Due to the relatively high profile of these attacks the Ukrainian police asked for assistance from Russia in finding people responsible for them, but no suspects have been apprehended yet.
The organization's vandalism and sharp anti-governmental stance received wide condemnation among Ukrainian media and provoked the response from different Ukrainian organizations of the opposite orientation; several threats were made against the organization and its members and an arson attack has been reciprocated on the ESM's offices in Moscow.
By the decision of the courts the Eurasian Youth Organization has been banned in Ukraine, its leaders Dugin and Zarifullin declared personae non grata.[8][9]
