MOSCOW, September 28 (RIA Novosti) - Pro-Kremlin youth movement Nashi (Ours) announced on Monday they would hold their own festive march on November 4 in Moscow in contrast to the "March of Dissent" held by opposition parties.

Russia's November 4 National Unity Day public holiday traditionally sees nationalist and far-right rallies in Moscow.

Maria Kislitsyna, a representative of the Nashi movement, said that their march, which will be led by famous Russian television stars, will be called the "Russian march."

Opposition marches were held in Moscow and St. Petersburg last December. In downtown Moscow more than 90 people were arrested for trying to hold an unauthorized opposition rally, while in St. Petersburg some 60 people were detained.

In 2006, a planned National Unity Day march by nationalist groups was banned by Moscow authorities. However, far-right groups defied the ruling and marched. Some 200 people were subsequently arrested.
