About 40 anarchists and anti-capitalists marched through one of Moscow main streets on to the offices for the World bank in a demonstration of protest against capitalist globalization and a show of solidarity with comrades marching in Prague, who are reported to have blocked Russian vice-premier Alexey Kudrin from entering the congress hall where the IMF/WB summit convenes. Protesters chanted anti-capitalist slogans, blew whistles and leafleted the pedestrians. Some cut and paste art action was made at the WB offices (slogans ?Down with IMF/WB? were pasted onto the walls). Police that arrived in about 10 minutes arrested 6 protesters and after a while the demo moved to the police station where arrested comrades were held.

However small, the march itself was a relative success because it was rather well-spirited and organized. On the eve of demonstration city authorities banned the demos in other parts of the city, but anarchists decided to march to the World bank offices nevertheless. This was the first action which was held in Moscow as part of the Global day of Action, and hopefully it will not be the last.
