While some 100 000 workers paraded in Russia’s administrative capital Moscow on May 1 holding banners “Putin is right”, “Proud of the country”, “Let’s support decisions of our president”, “We will go on vacation to Crimea”, “Luhansk, Donetsk, we are with you”, an anti-war democratic march took place in Russia’s ‘cultural capital’, St. Petersburg.
1500 people took part in the march.
