Anthony Brenton, the British Ambassador in Moskow, in spite of the russian government's protest took a part in the extremist conference "The other Russia". During his speech he noted that "The civil forum "The other Russia" was promoting the development of democratic society in Russia", also he pleased the facists audience anouncing that the UK government was supporting them by giving 1 million pounds per year in order "to help Russia be richer, stronger and more independent". The activities from Youth Democratic Anti-fascist Movement NASHI (Ours) were outraged by his act. According to NASHI's opinion, supporting such "democratic" initiatives is nothing else but action against Russian State, in a country that won fascists at the price of almost 30 millions it's fellows. One month later "NASHI" picketed the Embassy again. They gave a letter to the UK Ambassador appealing for his apology on the current two weeks - otherwise NASHI will picket the embassy without a time-limit. On the 4th of September they started picketing the embassy perpatually - until the Ambassador would to apologize in public. One of them - Tihon Chumakov - stood at the UK Embassy with a sign demanding the Ambassador to apologize for giving fascists moral and financial support. The student was beaten at the Embassy's doors. He and his friend was promised to be sluiced with petrol and burnt. The activists didn't leave him even during his movings along Moskow. Nowadays while picketing the embassy every day, the activists give Anthony Brenton his opportunity to apologize.
