La Giornata dell’unità nazionale in Russia
Wearing masks activists of ultranationalist organizations caary a huge black-yellow-white flag of Russian Empire as they take part in the so-called “Russian March” in the southeastern outskirts of Moscow, on November 4, 2011, marking the National Unity Day. The new holiday was created in 2005 to replace the traditional November 7 celebration of the 1917 Bolshevik rise to power. The Kremlin has tried to give it historical significance by tying it to the 1612 expulsion of Polish and Cossack troops who briefly seized Moscow at a time of political disarray.
