protesters jeer kremlin leaders in may day march

MOSCOW, MAY 1 --
Today, thousands of people in Moscow brandished their fists at Kremlin leaders, turning the traditional May Day celebrations of the Red Square \"Socialist Labor\" into harsh accusations of Communist power.
Soviet President Mikhail gorbacev sometimes seemed excited as the march was once a tightly controlled hollow hula hoop ceremony that suddenly became popular rage and
Some demonstrators carry Lithuanian and czars.
The flag of the Russian era, and some even showed the Soviet flag that was torn off the hammer and sickle.
While gorbacev and other leaders watched from a checkpoint on top of Lenin\'s mausoleum, demonstrators held placards to express contempt for Kremlin policy and ideology.
\"The blockade of Lithuania is a shame for the president! \" \"Socialism? No Thanks!
Communists: no illusions.
You\'re broke. \" \"Marxism-
Lenin is on the rubbish dump of history.
\"Step down with the Politburo! Resign!
\"This is an amazing play on the cobblestones of the Red Square ---
The most resonating political stage of the Soviet Union.
The Kremlin\'s megaphone sounded government slogans and marching music, and the demonstrators shouted their grievances in front of gorbacev for the first time.
At the military parade, a bearded Russian Orthodox priest took a sevenfoot-
The high cross shouted, \"Mikhail serjeevich, Christ has risen!
For the first time, the Kremlin has volunteered to participate in this year\'s May Day parade, allowing unofficial groups and political parties to participate in the march.
The new mayor of Moscow, radical economist Gavril Popov, stands next to the mausoleum with Kremlin leaders.
The shift from well-planned enthusiasm to a true sense of politics provides the most shocking public evidence to date, proving the popularity of gorbacev, especially among urban intellectuals and young people, the Communist Party of China is losing rapidly to political parties of various movements and competitions.
\"Ceausescus of the Politburo: from your armchair to the floor of the prison!
It says on the placard.
\"Gorbacev is the main patron of the Mafia!
\"Let the Communist Party survive Chernobyl ! \"
\"Down the empire and red fascist!
\"Down the cult of Lenin!
\"Earlier, the may day crowd was forced to carry a huge portrait of the leader of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party.
Today, the two most well-documented portraits are the portraits of the deceased man.
Human rights activist Andrey Saharov and maverick politician Boris Yeltsin.
Gorbacev, a politician who mobilized all these forces around him, watched the scene for about 25 minutes and then walked down the steps of the mausoleum into the Kremlin.
Other leaders, as well as guests from the Union and the Moscow City Council, soon followed the leadership of gorbacev.
But the demonstrations continued.
We were all stunned.
\"It\'s like gorbacev decided to give up the voice of the people,\" said Alexander afanayev, leader of the new social democracy movement.
\"The leadership may be trying to deny what happened here today because some extremists just took a little bit of their emotions out, but it went deeper.
But when it comes to our militants, he leaves his natural allies.
\"Soviet television carried out extensive coverage of the first hour of the march, led by unions and workers carrying more conservative banners, including\" falling down with private property \".
\"But once the wave of militants started, the broadcast suddenly stopped.
When the parade finally ended, two 70-year-old World War II veterans burned rows of medals and ribbons on their chests and stopped at a vending machine near Lenin\'s museum to buy a glass of mineral water.
They were disgusted with the sight of the morning and frustrated with the sight of the modern.
\"As far as I am concerned, it is only an organized slander, an insult to the Communist Party and everything we represent,\" said Nikolai Alexeyev . \".
\"This shows that gorbacev is out of control.
\"They just spit on us,\" said Vasily estatov . \".
They spit on the party and the army.
\"In other Soviet cities, the atmosphere is at least as tense as Moscow.
In Lvov, the center of the Ukrainian independence movement, demonstrators held the icon and slogan of the Virgin Mary, which read \"Soviet Union: National Prison \".
They cheered the former political prisoner, Vyacheslav chornoville, who is now the mayor of Lvov.
Crowds of people in the capital kirshne of mordawi carry the Romanian flag, not the Soviet flag.
In Leningrad in 1917, Soviet state founder Lenin began the Bolshevik Revolution, and the city\'s authorities canceled the May Day march, but an informal rally was held by independent political groups.
Unapproved May Day rallies were held in many Soviet cities last year, but what made this year\'s event so important, especially in Moscow, was that the once-reluctantly-tolerated fringe protests took the center stage.
Demonstrators from pushijin square and the Luzhniki Stadium suddenly appeared in the Kremlin.
The political diversity of protest groups is extraordinary: Anarchy
Social Democratic Party, Christian Democratic Party, Democratic program, Democratic Alliance, etc.
Subsequently, dozens of independent newspapers and magazines were distributed by young activists, some of which were hand-printed
Start the oil printer.
Some satire and comics from Kremlin politicians.
Gorbacev may not be satisfied with the intensity of today\'s demonstrations, but for a long time it seems certain that this force will gain confidence and strength this year, especially after the party\'s power to give up constitutional guarantees.
The morning was quite calm at the beginning of the Red Square, and the megaphone sent out Soviet pop and Pete Seeger\'s \"We\'ll see that day coming.
\"Then, after gorbacev and other leaders gathered in the mausoleum, a series of speeches began the rally.
In each statement, the speaker endorsed the current hesitant position on economic reform: radical measures were needed, but social security must also be protected in some way.
Recently, in private, gorbacev talked about the need for the privatization of Soviet industry, but his advisers said he lacked political support to stop this radical, rapid change.
Many of the signs carried by workers and official union members reflect the great fear of the majority of the population that a transition to a market economy can lead to a spiral of inflation and unemployment.
\"Enough experiments,\" said a banner, \"to work for us.
Others said: \"The market economy is the power of the chaebol ! \"
\"At first, it seems that this\" May Day \"is not much different from the gorbacev era of that year.
The atmosphere was far less depressing than the Brezhnev period, but not much connected to the spirit of the past unofficial demonstrations.
But when the marchers with red, yellow and green Lithuanian flags pop up, it is clear that the Red Square is about to begin a new era.
Vitali Mindlin said: \"I have been forced to attend these rallies for many years, and this is the first time I have volunteered to start from my own soul . \"

\"Our opening may have insulted gorbacev, but we have to take the risk.
A person can no longer act like someone else\'s object.
We are our masters.
It is up to the people to decide, not by gorbacev.
