Several thousand nationalists are marching in Moscow to call for ethnic Russians to "take back" Russia.

RFE/RL correspondents say more that than 10,000 have been participating in the march.

The event's organizers claim that the turnout is around 25,000 people, although the city police department put this figure at 7,000.

According to RFE/RL's reporters, the start of the march was delayed because metal detectors could not cope with the flow of people.

The so-called "Russian March" has been held annually since 2005 when a National Unity Day was declared on November 4 to replace the communist holiday of November 7 celebrating the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

This year's march is taking place amid growing resentment among some Russians over Muslim migrants from Russia's Caucasus and the money the government sends to the restive region.

Protesters chanted "Russia For Russians" and "Migrants today, occupiers tomorrow" as they marched in Moscow.

Protests with hundreds of people were reported to have been held in several other Russian cities as well.

The irony in this is that if you trace the roots of Russians not so far back, they are actually Asiatic in origin. Thus, this white neo-nationalist movement of theirs is unfounded. Makes me laugh once more at the lengths their government will go to stir up hatred and violence in order to maintain their status quo

"The irony in this is that if you trace the roots of Russians not so far back, they are actually Asiatic, Thus, this white neo-nationalist movement of theirs is unfounded. "
The irony is of course, that while you attempt to be knowledgeable, your ignorance and misunderstanding of history is breathtaking.

First off Russians are not asiatic in origin - no European people are asiatic in origin, Europeans come from caucasus - the area between europe and asia. Secondly, thought the proto-europeans homeland may have partly been on asian territory, this does not mean that Europeans used to look like or be like asians nor does it mean we have any genetic affinity with the thugs that so eagerly invade or homelands today. Actually the asians drove proto-europeans from their homeland and fully into Europe, so the real irony would be that the asians are doing it again.

"Makes me laugh once more at the lengths their government will go to stir up hatred and violence in order to "
The "hatred and violence" is not stirred up by the Russian government it is a natural defensive response to the hatred and racist violence that Russians suffer at the hands of asian colonists, and it is in every European country that has been force into multiculturalism.

The Russians, as an ethnos, originated from a mixture of the eastern Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples who resided in the areas that lay between what are now are now Belarus and the Moscow region, and from the Varangians (Vikings) who established the first Russian states. During their vassalisation by the Mongols, they did adopted parts of Mongol political and social culture. For a good read on this, see Richard Pipes' 'Russia under the old regime' (Penguin). Excellent stuff.

Too bad though that Vladimir the Great did not adopted Islam when he had the chance to back in 989!

Well what you show about Russians unfortunately does exist but is a grotesque part of reality. Many Russians themselves know that if they continue this way with drinking etc... they will eventually wipe out themselves.

There is an alternative though:

"The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinese or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks." Gen. George S. Patton

It does not appear to me that the quote has come from a man of Russian descent hence he cannot evaluate another nation objectively and accurately. I hope everyone realizes that the quoted excerpt is nothing more that an opinion of one individual.

Seidkazi stop bullying the world with your ''peaceful'' Islam. What i witnessed in Saudi Arabi, and Sudan probe how much 'peaceful' is your 'faith'.

No need to say nothing else... here's other expression of your ''peaceful promise' coming from Islam.

No need to say anything else, do you? Or want more examples?
