An aide to Nikolai Kuryanovich-a member of the State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia-was accused by witnesses of participating in a skinhead attack on demonstrators in Moscow, according to a September 6, 2006 report by the Sova Information-Analytical Center. Evgeny Valyaev and his brother Mikhail were allegedly seen by witnesses taking part in a neo-Nazi attack on a small demonstration in Moscow against the introduction of compulsory Christian theology classes in several Russian regions starting this school year. The September 4 demonstration by the Russian Radicals was disrupted by a counter-protest of Russian Orthodox fundamentalists and neo-Nazis, some of whom attacked the demonstrators. One of the skinheads was detained by police.
