Later, Pivovarov saw plainclothes men beating Ilya Ponomarev, one of the organizers of the Social Forum, while Lera Agapova tried to fend them off by hitting them over the head with a plastic bottle. We raised an outcry in the press; I appealed to the rally organizers, asking them to announce what had happened, but they only promised to consider the issue at the presidium meeting. Perhaps someone spoke about it later. http://j-malisheva.livejournal.com/61009.html I do not understand these strange actions. Why on earth have the UCF (United Civil Front), OBORONA, and indeed the whole of the "Other Russia" coalition suddenly joined the anti-globalists? Apparently, before long it will be declared that all "real democrats" are obliged to support immediately sharing Western wealth with the poorest countries. Anyone who disagrees is a Kremlin agent. Personally, I do not believe we should be feeding some African layabouts, and I do not believe that the wealthy countries of the West are robbing the Third World. And the anti-globalists ought to be blasted with water cannons. At least then they might get washed for once.
