Liberals clash with Russian Nationalists

MOSCOW, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Young liberals clashed with radical nationalists marching to mark Russia's National Unity Day.

The march was organized by ultranationalist groups such as the Eurasian Youth Union, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration and others, MosNews reported.

About 1,000 activists marched through the streets of Moscow shouting slogans and carrying placards that read: "Russia for the Russians", "Glory to Russia" and "Out with Illegal Migrants."

Activists of the liberal youth movement Oborona attacked the group with water-filled condoms as they marched through the city, Ekho Moskvy radio reported.

Police forced the Oborona activists down a side-street while the march continued as planned.
