The first Russian March took place on 4 November 2005 and was the first legal far-right mass meeting in modern Russian history. Both rallies have been inspired by expulsion of Polish-Lithuanian forces from the Moscow Kremlin during the Russo-Polish War of 1605–1618 on 22 October O.S. (4 November N.S.), which was subsequently marked by tsar in 1612 as a feast day. The preparations for 2006 March have been launched by the Action Against Illegal Immigration and Eurasian Youth Union. Due to this the march has had two different names and two different schedules.
