From the 10th to the 15th of November 2007 in Moscow �Kristallnacht -Never Again!� is to be released as part of International Education Week in the Youth Film Festival �Come and Watch� � Cinema against hate.

Visitors will also be able to familiarize themselves with the thematic exhibitions about the problems of violence and aggression on nationalistic grounds. Every day in Russia murders because of racial, religious, or nationalistic hatred are committed. The press only reports the odd case, but in reality crimes like these happen every day. On the 4th of November 2007 in Moscow a Russian March was held, organized by the coalition of organizations of the radical right. There were about 3000 people who took part in the march. A group of youths, who are excited about the future of the country in which they live, have decided to show, that in Russia there is an alternative to hatred and fascism. We believe that we can change something. Therefore, it is with great enthusiasm and though our own initiative that we are having the educational youth film festival.
