Hundreds of people came to the UK embassy in Moscow to show their discontent with the behavior of the British authorities during the "mannequin protest" outside Russia's diplomatic mission in London and to show solidarity with Russian diplomats.

About 500 joined the rally outside the British Embassy on Friday evening, as reported by TASS. The demonstrators were standing outside the embassy and holding placards and banners in Russian and English that read "Down with double standards!" "Our diplomats have immunity," "The UK must stop!" and "England is war!"

They were also chanting the slogans "Hands off our diplomats!" and "Great Britain is war!" The protesters erected shield in front of the embassy that depicted the military campaigns, in which the UK took part over the recent decades, including the 2003 Iraq war, war in Afghanistan, operation in Libya and the war in Yugoslavia.

The demonstrators poured red paint over the shield symbolizing blood of civilians spilled by the British troops in these military campaigns. "We are embarrassed" by the actions of the British activists, one of the protesters told Russian TV channel Rossiya 24.

"We came here to say, 'No,' because what the British people are doing is at least shameful and unjust... they are violating all diplomatic norms," another protester said.

"A country that ... wages wars ... and orchestrates regime changes has no right to dictate any ...standards," one Russian activist that took part in the protest said, adding that the protest outside the Russian Embassy in London was held "by the order of the British government" and "is a political put-up job."

Some people, who fled Syria because of the war, also joined the protest in Moscow. A young Syrian woman from Aleppo told Rossiya 24 that she "does not understand the UK's position" as Russia is helping to fight terrorism in Syria.

The protest lasted for about half an hour and ended without any incidents, although police officers were deployed to the embassy to provide security for the diplomatic mission, Russian media reported, citing police sources.
