MOSCOW, July 17 (RIA Novosti, Olga Lipich) - Orthodox-monarchic public organizations will hold an icon-bearing religious procession in downtown Moscow Sunday in memory of the 87th anniversary of the death of the last Russian Emperor Tsar Nicholas II and his family killed by Bolsheviks in 1918.
The Christian Revival Union, the Union of Orthodox Communities and the Union of Orthodox Banner Bearers organized the event.
The event will start at 2 p.m. with a prayer and solemn speeches in Slavyanskaya Square near the memorial to Sts. Cyril and Methodius.
This will not be the first such procession. Its participants annually voice support for unity of the Slav states of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and protest against globalization and Russia's joining the WTO.
