As reported a few days ago here at Molly's Blog neo-Nazis in Moscow murdered a young man who was going to a punk concert in that city. here, from Avtonom, a Russian anarchist website, is the report of the commemoration of his death that was held yesterday in Moscow. The following has been slightly edited (mostly by adding articles as Russian, like other Slavic languages lacks such parts of speech).

Commemorating Aleksey Krylov in Moscow
Date Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:01:58 +0200
19th of March,
19th of March,
3 days after the murder of Aleksey Krylov on his way to a concert of Petrozhavodsk oi!-band Nichego Horoshego, anti-fascists of Moscow gathered to commemorate him. ---- Around 6 PM people began to gather at the murder place, Maroseyka street 4. They lit candles and laid fl lowers. Someone made graffiti "We will remember Kryl forever! Murdered by Nazis 16th of March 2008!". People had banner "Fascism won't trespass". All together there were some 50 people,and they gathered for half an hour but the police did not show up to disperse the illegal gathering. ---- As the original gathering place of Pushkinskaya square was leaked to the open internet 7 vans of police and small groups of Nazis were spotted there. It was decided that the action should be moved to another spot.
Marchers gathered in the Kropotkinskaya(Yes, there is a Metro Station in Moscow named after Kropotkin-Molly) Metro station, where the march started moving clockwise to the Gogol Boulevard. It was obvious that this was the biggest ever reaction against a concrete case of fascist violence in Moscow - more than 250 demonstrators joined, in a spectacular unity -there were punks, lgbt(?-Molly),anarchists, hardcore kids, skinheads and just anti-fascists. Maybe this does not seem a lot in a city of 10 million, but it hard to organise in a conspiratorial manner in the condition of a total ban of such demonstrations - it would have been impossible even to legalize a picket or a candlelight vigil in such a short timescale .
The marchers carried banners "Fascism is murdering, authorities are covering!" and "Your ignorance is our death!". A number of sea torches were lit. People scanned("screamed" I guess-Molly) "Get to the streets - reclaim the city!","Fascism won't trespass!", "We do not care about color of skin - we refuse fascism!", "Antifa!", "Alerta, alerta, antifascista!", "Our fatherland is all humanity!", "As long as we are united, we will never be divided!" and other slogans.
The march turned to the old Arbat, and finished at Smolenskaya Metro station.The police failed to make any arrests.
