Anti-capitalism
An annual two-day-long National Russian youth march held every September since 2001.
RCYL(b) is one of the co-organizers and affiliated participants.
The march concentrates on questions deemed important for youth: education, social rights, employment, while linking them to political demands: against the cuts in the public sector, against neo-liberal legislative reforms and against racism and ethnocentrism.
The march is a protest against the socio-economic policies of the Russian government, a part of the global struggle against capitalism and an expression of anti-imperialist solidarity.
During the Anti-capitalism march in 2002 in central Moscow, the participants of the march were attacked by the police with over 140 people arrested in the clash.
On the initiative of RCYL(b), Anti-capitalism 2005 was held in and around the city of Gorky (a.k.a. Nizhny Novgorod) on September 24-25th. RCYL(b) was left on its own as other organizations retreated under the pressure of the law-enforcement authorities. The police arrested over sixty activists in central Gorky on the 25th of September. On the same day there were several attacks on the activists by right-wing groups around Gorky.
