**The Collapse of the “Russian March” as the Beginning of a National Revival. .... The Kremlin defeated the “Russian March.” It defeated it ideologically, organizationally, and technologically. .... **Not a single prominent democratic politician supported the DPNI (Movement Against Illegal Immigration), or even made contact with it. In this respect, the episode involving Alexei Navalny, deputy head of Yabloko’s Moscow branch, at a meeting of the “Russian March” organizing committee is not at all indicative. Yes, Navalny was there “as an observer,” and later even called for “organizing your own ‘Russian March.’” Yes, his superior Sergei Mitrokhin, after going on at length about the fight against fascism, did finally utter the key phrase signaling loyalty to the DPNI: “We do not support banning the march.” Yes, Yevgenia Albats demanded that the streets of Moscow be made available to Mr. Potkin’s supporters, calling a possible ban on the rally “stupidity No. 1.” But the face of Russian democracy is not limited to the figures mentioned above. ...
