Pumpkins glow at anti-American protest in Moscow

About 15,000 members of a pro-Kremlin youth group staged an anti-American protest near the US Embassy in Moscow on Sunday. Some held lit jack-o'-lanterns for what they called the Helloween American Show, with Halloween intentionally misspelled. On each pumpkin was written the name of someone who supposedly died as a result of conflicts allegedly unleashed by the US. Some of the names appeared to be those of South Ossetians. The breakaway region of South Ossetia was at the heart of the August war between Russia and Georgia, a US ally.
