Добавил англоязычную версию к своей статье в Википедии "Антиселигер"
Anti-Seliger is a forum of civil and environmental activists, taking place from 17 to 20 June 2011 in Russia, in the Khimki forest near Moscow. The initiative to hold the forum has been proposed by the Movement in defence of the Khimki forest.
According to the leader of the movement, Yevgenia Chirikova, Anti-Seliger is an alternative to the pro-Kremlin forum at Lake Seliger. On the other hand, it is a place for meetings and discussions for civil activists, who want to unite and stand on their rights.[1][2]
The organisers have invited civil and eco-activists, politicians, artists, and all active citizens who are willing to support the protection of nature and civil society development.
The programme includes lectures, musical and literary performances, exhibitions, competitions, debates, walks and tree planting in the Khimki forest. One day will be devoted to children.
The participants are providing some tents, as well as hot meals, toilet and washing facilities as well as transportation by buses from Moscow.[3]
Two requirements are imposed on the participants during their stay: respect for each other and abstention from drinking alcohol.[2]
Participation in the forum is free. The organisers are collecting donations and receive aid from opposition organisations.
The idea of the forum has been supported by many well-known Russians: TV presenter Leonid Parfenov, corruption fighter Alexei Navalny, art critic Artemy Troitsky, State Duma deputy Gennady Gudkov, human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyeva[4] and others.
On 15 June the organisers sent a letter to Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev asking him to ensure that the work of the forum is not impeded.[5]
