Russian President Dmitry Mdvedev and president-elect Prime Minister Vladimir Putin headed the procession. The crowd stopped in front of the Lenin Library where the two leaders spoke with students and workers. The march, also known in Russia as "The Day of Spring and Labour", was organized by trade unions and the ruling United Russia party. Participants carried banners and Russian flags as well as pro-government placards as they walked through Manezh square.
