*Today, in Sunday, on 7 October, at the Russian embassy in Minsk an action of solidarity with Russian antifascists took place.*

*More than 50 people participated in the action. Participants honoured the memory of four victims, killed in recent years in Russia by the hands of neo-Fascists. So was extended banner "No to fascism!".*

*Four participants were detained by police during this action. Now they are located in central ROVD Minsk.*

*Spontaneous meetings around the city are happening right now.*

By this action we wanted to state that we cannot quietly look as in adjacent Russia with the taciturn connivance of authorities, extremist neo-Nazi groups act openly. None of them was stopped at the preparation stage for their terrible crimes. How much more people must die before the authorities of the Russian Federation will focus attention on the actions of neo-Nazi groupings?

We, young people, perturbed by the increasing problem of fascism, demand that the investigative and judicial organs of the Russian Federation end the ignoring of the facts of crimes perfected owing to hatred, and to end the shameful practice of the application of the article "hooliganism" against the killer-fascists. We want to draw attentionin the Belorussian and Russian community to the problem of the new Nazism raising its head. It is only if we act united that we will be able to pull out the sprouts of neo-Nazism, so that it cannot take root on our Earth!

We are joined with the antifascists of Russia in their difficult daily fight!
