Pamyat ((ロシア語:Память), (ロシア語:Общество «Память»), (:ˈpamʲɪtʲ); English translation: ''Memory'') identifies itself as the "People's National-patriotic Orthodox Christian movement." The group's stated focus is preserving Russian culture. Its longtime leader, Dmitri Vasilyev, died in 2003. ==History== At the end of the 1970s, a historical association called ''Vityaz'' (Витязь lit. "Knight"), sponsored by the ''Soviet Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments'', established an "informal historical, cultural and educational organization" uniting activists-bibliophiles and amateur historians. One of the purposes of the newly formed organization was to prepare the upcoming celebration of the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kulikovo. Some notable ''Vityaz'' activists in Moscow were Ilya Glazunov (artist), S. Malyshev (historian), and A. Lebedev (Colonel of the MVD). Similar groups were created in other regions of the Soviet Union. Later, loosely associated "informal" groups were consolidated under the name ''Pamyat''. At an internal meeting on October 4, 1985, ''Pamyat'' split up into several factions, many of which attempted to retain the same name as the "true" ''Pamyat''. One of them, the so-called ''Vasilyev's group'', led by Dmitri Vasilyev (a former worker in Glazunov's studio), A. Andreyev and A. Gladkov, focused its activities on the media. On May 6, 1987, Pamyat conducted an unregistered, and thus illegal, demonstration in the center of Moscow demanding an end to the construction of an officially sanctioned memorial project at Poklonnaya Hill. It resulted in a two-hour meeting with Boris Yeltsin, at that time the First Secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In the fall of 1987, the National-Patriotic Front (NPF) was founded, with the aim of "renaissance", with the intent to "lead Russian people to the spiritual and national revival" on the basis of "three traditional Russian values": Orthodoxy, national character and spirituality. After several splits and the imminent dissolution of the Soviet Union, the organization adopted a monarchist position. In August 1990, a permanent NPF council member, Aleksandr Barkashov (the author of the book ''The ABC of a Russian Nationalist''), caused another split after his announcement of being "tired to be preoccupied by recollections. It is time to act". His new group was dubbed "Russian National Unity" (Русское Национальное Единство). Barkashov promoted the veneration of the swastika, a traditional Indo-European symbol which, according to Barkashov, "acts on subconsciousness of theomachists. It paralyses, weakens and demoralizes them." In 1991 the organization's own newspaper (print run of 100,000) and a radio station (both officially registered) were launched. By the end of the 1990s, the original ''Pamyat'' disappeared from the public scene. Dmitry Vasilyev died on July 17, 2003. The organization reactivated in 2005 and participated in the 2006 Russian March. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pamyat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
