Over 3,000 riot police were on duty at Europa Square, near the capital's Kievsky train station, after reports that nationalists and migrants from Russia's North Caucasus were planning to clash.
The developments came after the Russian capital saw its biggest public disturbances for almost a decade on Saturday as a 5,000-strong crowd of nationalists and football hooligans clashed with police near Red Square. Rioters also attacked people from the country's North Caucasus region.
President Dmitry Medvedev called the disorder, which was triggered by the death of a football fan in a mass brawl with North Caucasus migrants, a threat to the very stability of the Russian state. In the photo: Riot police cars near the Kievsky railway station.
