INTERFAX reported on a Moscow meeting of
the national-patriotic front Pamyat (Memory) during which the
present leader of Pamyat, Dmitriy Vasilyev, expressed his
satisfaction with the present development of rightist forces (6
Oct. 1992). Dmitriy Vasilev stated that the national-patriotic
movement has managed to band together (Ibid.). Vasilyev was
critical of the fact that Russia's state structures are run by
non-Russians (Ibid.). The meeting of Pamyat lasted three
days, and its aim was to outline a program for the "cleansing of
the country" (Ibid.).
On 14 October 1992, KURANTY reported that
armed Pamyat members attacked the editorial offices of
Moskovskiy Komsomolets while a meeting was being held. The
Pamyat emissaries overpowered the security guards, disrupted the
meeting and behaved like "bandits" (KURANTY, 14 Oct. 1992).
According to INTERFAX, the mayor and the government of the capital
denounced the attack (INTERFAX, 14 Oct. 1992). The Toronto
Star reported on 10 February 1992 that Pamyat now has its own
radio station.
Please find attached several documents
relating to the activities of Pamyat. Additional information on
