Pamyat Draws
Moscow Crowd
Moscow (JTA) — "Down
with the Jews" and
"Russians Unite" were
blazoned across banners
hanging at the Central
House of Actors here last
week as the far-right, anti-
Semitic Pamyat movement
held a conference to define its
political agenda for the diffi-
cult winter ahead.
Pamyat's aim is to "help
the Russian people find their
way and make the lives of
the Zionists as hard as
possible," declared Dimitry
Vasiliev, the movement's
best-known figure and
leader of its National
Patriotic Front faction.
' Mr. Vasiliev, a portly, fif-
tyish man whose long black
hair circles a balding crown,
decried the "Zionists who
are rubbing their hands over
their victory over Russia."
He warned that Pamyat,
whose name means
"memory," would not be a
paper tiger in the future.
"Our National Patriotic
Front is going to act. We're
not going to wear skirts,"
Mr. Vasiliev said at a closing
news conference.
That and similar talk
dominated the two-day con-
ference held, whether by
design or coincidence, on
Yom Kippur. The gathering
was also attended by various
small extremist groups, in-
cluding Christian Revival
and the Russian Monar-
chical Center, as well as
some chauvinistic elements
in the Russian Orthodox
Church.
One priest denounced the
patriarch of the Orthodox
Church, Aleksei II, as "a
devoted Leninist and friend
of New York Freemasons."
Freemasonry is often link-
ed with Zionism in the polit-
ical lexicon of the Russian
far right. The reference to
New York was to Aleksei's
visit there last year, where
he met with Jewish leaders.
Participants in the con-
ference, many of whom wore
black, military-style
uniforms, browsed between
speeches at a kiosk selling
anti-Semitic literature and
beer.
It was not immediately
clear how Pamyat obtained
use of the Central House of
Actors, the premises of the
Russian Union of Actors.
