Moscow : Around 20,000 activists from pro-Kremlin youth movements would be deployed in Moscow streets during the upcoming March 4 presidential elections.
The activists from youth movements Nashi and Stal will be engaged “round the clock” March 4-12 to monitor the streets and squares of Moscow to prevent “provocation”, a statement from the groups said.
The movements will oppose “any illegal attempts to destabilise the situation or to place the results of the presidential election in question”.
Stal and the youth arm of Russia’s ruling United Russia party, Molodaya Gvardia, has reportedly planned to hold rallies on Moscow’s Manezhnaya, Lubyanskaya, Teatralnaya, Bolotnaya and Revolution squares.
