Dmitry Demushkin, leader of the banned Slavyansky Soyuz (Slavic Union) organization and leader of the Russkiye (Russians) movement, is involved in two new criminal cases. He said in an interview that mass disorders may happen if the Russky Marsh (Russian March) is banned in the center of Moscow.
Demushkin’s lawyer and supporter Dmitry Bakharev told Interfax that his client is being questioned by the Investigative Committee.
The Novy Region Internet portal published Demushkin’s view on possible disorders if the Russky Marsh is banned in the city center on November 4. A case was initiated against him in late October for promotion of hatred.
In an interview Demushkin talked about the superiority of the Russian nation over others and called for disorders and violence against people opposed to the ideology of Russian superiority, the Investigative Committee said.
Moscow authorities want the Russky Marsh to be held in Lyublino rather than Moscow center.
Information on the second charge against Demushkin was published within 3 days.
Slavyansky Soyuz was banned by the Moscow City Court as an extremist organization in April 2010. Demushkin renamed his organization Slavyanskaya Sila (Slav Power). His name has often been connected with nationalistic disorders, which have been happening more often since the disorders on Manezhnaya Square in December 2010.
