“March of Millions. For an honest government! - these are the slogans that can be read on numerous posters and advertising banners, which one can involuntarily encounter on the streets of large cities in Russia and on the Internet. This is an action that is being talked about, this is an action that is being actively discussed, but, oddly enough, the meaning of its holding is not clear to everyone.
"Putin, this is not an Egyptian kingdom to sit as a pharaoh for 20 years!", "Hitler also came to power after being appointed prime minister!", "Putin is covered in the blood of your children!" ! " - these are just a few slogans with which the participants of the "March of Millions" plan to take to the streets of the capital on the Independence Day of Russia.
The "March of Millions" is another opposition rally that will take place on June 12 in Moscow and in many other cities of Russia. The main goal of the participants in the march is to change the government and carry out a large-scale political reform in the country, which would enable Russia to fully develop and return constitutional rights and freedoms to citizens.
According to the opposition, the elections to the Moscow State Duma and the presidential elections in the Russian Federation were held on the basis of an unconstitutional law. In other words, the elections were not free. That is why one of the primary tasks of the opposition is to achieve fair elections. The organization of the “March of Millions” action is a form of demonstration of refusal to turn a blind eye to the arbitrariness of the authorities.
Despite the promising name, not millions will take part in the action. The declared number of participants in the march is 50 thousand people. But, as the protesters themselves say, going out to the rally, they represent the interests of millions of people from different parts of Russia.
The "March of Millions" should be the last opposition action in the 2011-2012 political season. Subsequent large-scale events are planned for September 2012.
In Moscow, the gathering of the participants of the "March of Millions" action will take place on June 12 at 12:00 at the "Pushkinskiy" cinema. From 13:00 to 15:00 a march will take place along Strastnoy, Petrovsky and Rozhdestvensky boulevards to Sakharov Avenue. The action will end with a rally on Sakharov Avenue on the inner side of the Garden Ring, which will take place from 15:00 to 18:00.
