Pro-Kremlin activists staged a rally in central Moscow on Saturday to urge the government to extend a ban on US families adopting Russian children to all foreign nationals.
Pro-Kremlin activists staged a rally in central Moscow on Saturday to urge the government to extend a ban on US families adopting Russian children to all foreign nationals.
Among them were representatives of more than 80 organizations, including the United Russia party, the Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia, the Party of Pensioners and others.
The participants were carrying placards, blue balloons and even Orthodox icons and chanting slogans: "Russia Without Orphans," "Protect the Children," "Save the Family" and others.
Media reports said that advertisements had appeared online ahead of the march offering around $20 for people to attend the rally. Rally organizers dismissed the reports as a “provocation” by their “many enemies.”
Russia has long expressed concern over the treatment of Russian adoptees in the United States, where around 20 children have died in the care of their US families through negligence or domestic violence since 1991. US families have adopted some 60,000 children in that time.
