Krasnodar joins international action "Your vote against racism!"
On March 26, the Youth Group for Tolerance "ETnIKA" from Krasnodar completed a series of actions within the international action "Your vote against racism!" by the FLASH MOB "STOP RACISM!"
More than 20 people came on Sunday to the main street of Krasnodar with air balls. On the flash mob, the participants wrote "RACISM" on the air balls and at five o'clock sharp punctured them with paper clips, the European anti-fascist symbol. The action was participated not only by "ETnIKA" activists but also by representatives of public and human rights organizations, as well as by a university professor from Leipzig.
The participation of grownups and academia proved to be an unexpected and important sign for young anti-fascists who felt support to their steps on the way to equality. The idea of the flash mob was a demonstration of the fact that the racial theory postulates crashed, as repeatedly had been shown by history, as well as a sign of solidarity with anti-fascists of all Europe in the fight with race discrimination, runs the statement of the YGT "ETnIKA" press-service on the action in Krasnodar, handed over to the "Caucasian Knot".
