About 15,000 supporters of Russia's pro-Kremlin youth movement have vowed to defend their country from a host of enemies as they celebrated seven years of Vladimir Putin's presidency.
Members of the Nashi movement said on March 25 that traitors are trying to pave the way for foreign powers to steal Russia's giant reserves of natural resources.
Supporters waved Russia's flag and chanted "Russia" before speeches.
They also went to recruit members in Moscow and give out special mobile-phone cards to be used to send out messages to followers.
Putin's 'Holy Russia" What's next?
Hey, at least their youth are proud of their country. Or at least the ones who are allowed to speak publicly say they are.
I know that calling Russia holy has been a deal with them for centuries. But it's only recently that I've seen a similarity with Islam.
Ever notice how many holy cities there are in Islam? I coming to think that if any threat happens to be made to a hot dog stand falafel wagon in any place where more than 6 couples make their hovels homes, I said homes, that place is suddenly a holy city of Islam, or even "one of the holiest" cities of Islam.
You brought a relevant point, the ones who are allowed to speak publicly are pro-Putin, if not they are beaten arrested are far worse under the Putin Kremlin. We meed to remember Putin is arming all of our worst enemies.
By "Holy Russia," they must be referring to Russia's membership in the Organization of Islamic States and their allegiance to Islamic jihad worldwide.
"Traitors" is code for "Jooos."
That's correct, as Putin continues arming Israel's most fanatical enemies.

Putin says HAMAS and Hizb-allah aren't terrorists at all, but freedom fighters.
Nashi with those Red stars on their shirts... They are Communist/Orthodox hybrids.
The Moscow Times reports that although the opposition party to Putin was banned from marching in Nizhny Novgorod and arrested when tried, the pro-Kremlin youth cult "Nashi" (us Slavic Russians) was free to do as they liked in Moscow. In fact, the police guarded and protected them, whereas in Nizhny they attacked the opposition.
Some 15,000 young people rallied throughout the city center Sunday for an event organized by the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi to celebrate the seventh anniversary of President Vladimir Putin's election. Participants, dressed in identical red hats and white T-shirts, handed out glossy pocket brochures titled "The President's Messenger" on Pushkin Square, Triumfalnaya Ploshchad and Prospekt Akademika Sakharova, near Leningradsky Station, among other locations. The brochure bears an image of a cell phone with the state coat of arms, the two-headed eagle. The same image was also on the hats and T-shirts.
The 30-page booklet warns of the dangers facing the country if the people are not vigilant and cautions that Russia could lose its independence. It is illustrated with photos of Hitler; Andrei Vlasov, a World War II general who fought on the German side after being captured; Eduard Limonov, leader of the unregistered National Bolshevik Party; former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov; and U.S. President George W. Bush.
As part of the cell phone motif, Nashi organizers urged Moscow residents to send instant text messages to Putin at a special number. Those gathered at Pushkin Square were able to read some of the messages as they were flashed across a giant screen. Nashi leader Vasily Yakimenko said that a collection of the messages would be published later, Interfax reported. The Interior Ministry had 5,000 police mobilized to provide security for the event, with 2,500 located in the city center, Interfax said.
It is the task of the Young Communist League to organize assistance everywhere, in village or city block, in such matters as -- and I shall take a small example -- public hygiene or the distribution of food. How was this done in the old, capitalist society? Everybody worked only for himself and nobody cared a straw for the aged and the sick, or whether housework was the concern only of the women, who, in consequence, were in a condition of oppression and servitude. Whose business is it to combat this? It is the business of the Youth Leagues, which must say: we shall change all this; we shall organize detachments of young people who will help to assure public hygiene or distribute food, who will conduct systematic house-to-house inspections, and work in an organized way for the benefit of the whole of society, distributing their forces properly and demonstrating that labor must be organized. (“Tasks of the Youth Leagues,” Collected Works, vol. 31)
"I'm convinced that Nashi is a fascist organization acting under the banner of anti-fascism," said Vladimir Ilyushenko, a political analyst. He said that he considered the group's role in supporting Kremlin interests comparable to that of the Hitler Youth."
The Nashi's and the KPRF youth brigades get along quite well. The Nazbols are for show, however
Also notice that the Nashi doesn't attack the mainline communist or fascist parties in Russia. As I said earlier, the Nashi and the KRPF youth brigades sometimes even work together. (The KPRF and Zugianov are controlled by Putin anyway).
Sounds like the return of Pamyat.
Putin's Brown Shirts on the march. This is how it starts...
Yep. Russia tried communism and failed, so she's trying fascism now. One can stay in business there, but only as long as he is friendly with the United Russia Party. And censorship is brutal.
Well, it's better when they march instead of copulating - the demographic implosion will take care of them, too.
Zirnovinski and Zugianov are close friends.
