According to TASS, the demonstrators also opposed NATO and US imperialism.

“Precisely because a large influx of participants was expected, the local authorities forced us to change the meeting place,” said Amedeo Avondet, organizer of the event, activist, founder of the United Italy political entity.

During the rally, activists lit candles in memory of the dead Russian soldiers who “fight not only for the liberation of Donbass, but also for the freedom of Europe from American slavery.”

Earlier in the German city of Zwickau, a rally was held against anti-Russian sanctions.

Anti-government rallies are taking place in Prague and a number of other Czech cities, during which demonstrators, among other things, demand military neutrality of the Czech Republic and direct agreements with Russia on gas supplies at low prices.
