The russian branch of Esquire magazine recently published the photo below of a soldier of OMON (SWAT basically) during the "March of Dissent".

The parliament has suggested that the image is falsified (which the magazine and the photographer countered). Also, in true Russian government style, certain politicians claim the magazine is working to damage the "image" of Russia.

This is really sad and disturbing, especially considering the immense and horrible damage done to Russia by the SS.

Isn't the White Power skinhead movement really strong in Russia? I know some of the "gangs" have even got in parliment. Perhaps they're behind this?

Capitalism is so fucking stupid. No government dares to recognize such cases of people looking for support from right wing movements. I guess if there is one "European" country to experience a revolutionary period, then it is Russia.

It's to give them full body protection against projectiles and other weapons. Not a bad idea.
