STORYLINE
Several hundred Russian nationalists rallied in central Moscow on Sunday, at Bolotnaya Square, on an island in the Moscow River near the Kremlin.
The square was also the venue on Saturday of a demonstration by tens of thousands who had gathered to protest electoral fraud and to demand an end to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's rule.
The crowd on Sunday numbered around three hundred.
Many held flags of imperial Russia, and banners with slogans such as "Let's return Russia to the Russians" as the crowd chanted slogans such as "Glory to Russia! Glory to the Russian nation!"
Alexander Belov, leader of the Movement against Illegal Immigration, an extremist group which is banned in Russia, told the crowd his movement would not be joining "the liberals or left-wingers" but would use them as human shields.
"Let their liberal faces fill the Western magazines, let them speak at rallies, but we are coming after them. Let's use them as manpower to advance in front of our tanks because they won't be shot at," Belov said.
Nationalists were also among those joining Saturday's anti-government protests in Moscow and other Russian cities, the largest in Russia's post-Soviet history, but when some of their leaders took to the stage they were booed by the majority of protesters.
