Nationalists in Kazan held two separate events “in defense of the
Russian language.” On September 6, there was a rally “for federal
educational policy,” organized by the Society of Russian Culture of the
Republic of Tatarstan. Participants in the action included members of
the National-Democratic Party (Konstantin Krylov), the Great Russia
(Andrey Savelyev), Motherland (Aleksey Zhuravlev), as well as a few
others flying imperial Romanov flags. The rally drew between 25-30
people. On September 11, two activists from the Great Russia Party
conducted pickets for the same cause.
