Radicals and extremists should be barred from public rallies of law-abiding citizens, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

Radicals and extremists should be barred from public rallies of law-abiding citizens, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

“The organizers of these events should not gather everyone in one place and then ask law enforcement agencies to separate them out,” he said at a meeting with religious leaders.

“The approach should be this: draw a line between those exercising their Constitution-guaranteed rights and those who take advantage of the situation for their own purposes.”

Alexander Boroda, president of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, said that nationalist groups often take part in demonstrations, using them to incite ethnic hatred.

The anti-Putin demonstration that took place in Moscow on Saturday was comprised of four distinct columns of participants: nonpartisan, leftist, liberal and nationalist.
