Right-wing Russian nationalists staged a venomous rally Sunday to complain about President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's reforms, warming U.S.-Soviet relations and the growing nationalism in non-Russian republics. About 2,000 people who gathered in deep snow near Soviet TV's transmission tower heard speakers accuse Gorbachev of being power-hungry and plunging the Soviet Union into poverty and misery.
