Racial hatred: Russia's nationalists bitterly against rushing Foreigners

Terrorist attacks such as the Moscow airport to give the ethnic hatred in Russia new food: Every week it comes to extremist attacks by nationalists against Caucasians. The victims include but especially those who have the misfortune not, "Slavic" look. "Fresh herbs, fresh herbs", the seller calls from the right.

"My dear, buy my juicy oranges," it comes from the left, with that southern accent that sounds in the ears of many Russians to crime, lack of civilization, even after the Mafia. Under the curved roof of the Danilov-market in central Moscow are stacked up on that cold winter feet high Kiwis, dozens of varieties of fresh herbs, pickled melon, nuts and spices from all over the world.

Behind the stalls: especially with men and women, dark hair and dark complexion - the "black" as the Russians call them pejorative. Early nineties dared the Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov, an experiment and handed over the leadership of the Danilov-market to the Cossacks, who present themselves as guardians of the true Russentums against foreign influences.

Of which is today, however, nothing more to see. Was it the better relations with the mayor, money or power? Probably a mixture. Anyway, the Danilov-market is now controlled as almost each of the markets of Moscow over a hundred of Azerbaijanis and other Caucasian peoples - all under the hand of course.

Sergei Mikhailovich, the Russian director wants, rather not talk to the press. "Do not drink vodka as Russia's real men," The Russians who live in the area, buy it here, even though they despise the people from the former Soviet republic. "You do not like to work, do not drink vodka like a real Russian men, shop assistants to ask from Moldova and fuck our Russian girls," is outraged by a 58-year-old Russian fur hat.

The communist era, he wrote speeches for the minister. The Soviet Union had the International Friendship up the cause and was largely based on the nationality conflicts. Today, the former general of the Justice takes a shopping bag on wheels behind him. Seven kilos of apples he had just bought, but not with the Azerbaijanis, but Moldovan in a shop: "The cheating on me not, I know." The relations between the Russians and the non-Russians are eager to see even without a terrorist attack like the last Monday.

In a survey of the renowned Levada Center from November 2010 said 30 percent of the Russians, the nationalist mood of the poor living conditions in Russia are to blame, 30 percent cast contrast to the representatives of national minorities to provoke with its "provocative behavior" the hatred itself .

And just in the markets that this anger is discharged repeatedly, sometimes with terror and brute force. In August 2006, deposited by Russian nationalists bomb exploded on the market Tscherkison, 14 people died and 60 were injured. 2001 was a group of 300 nationalists in a market south of the city with clubs and iron bars - at the end there were two sales are dead, dozens were injured.

Negative opinions about the foreigners are widespread in Russian society. "The Caucasian can not honestly make money," Alexei is convinced that a young Russian who worked in a shop not far from the Danilov market. He is convinced that is traded on the market with drugs. Confirmed he was drawn to reports in the Russian media about the so-called "ethnic crime".

Mid-January, police arrested about five Uzbeks, within one year disguised as a taxi driver four Russians had first kidnapped and then murdered. And the new mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin few days later explained that half the crime in the capital committed by migrants. Alexei seller proposes a simple solution to the problem: "We should bring back for a day Stalin - who would send them all to Siberia!" A million undocumented immigrants, but many benefit from the status quo.

Estimates of the Russian immigration authorities live alone in Moscow a million immigrants without valid papers. For corrupt officials and police officers are the "illegals" is a never-ending source of bribes. Also in the Domodedovo airport, the police officers concerned, according to initial findings, more than with the control of passports with the bomb search.

Immigrants from the poverty-stricken Central Asian republics such as Tajikistan and Uzbekistan hire in Moscow as a taxi driver, street sweepers and construction workers. Of the construction companies they are welcome because they drink less than the Russians - and charge less money. On the road and in the subway, they become a target for nationalists who kill in the last few years, always random people with "non-Slavic" features.

It is the hatred of nationalists rather a different group of foreigners, but which may ward off much better than the Central Asians: the Caucasians, so Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingush, Russian citizens, in the opinion of many Russians in Moscow, especially in illegal transactions of money .

earn According to Russian media reports mafia groups control, often with ethnic backgrounds in Moscow, including the catering, retail, real estate and transportation. In recent weeks rolled a wave of violence between Russians and non-Russians from the country. Pogrom-like atmosphere prevailed since early December after a Dagestanis the football Yegor Sviridov had shot.

Thousands of football fans roared with the Kremlin "Russia for Russians" and engaged in street battles with the police. Thousands were arrested, tried at the end of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to calm things down by demonstratively with representatives of the football fans arrived and visited the grave of the murdered Sviridov.

In nationalist circles, he earned the applause. "You must clean the city" Since it is a week to attacks by nationalists, the extremism center "Sowa" documents the cases. On 19 January increased by some ten young men in central Moscow in a subway car and insulted a man with "Asian appearance".

Then one of them stabbed with a hunting knife. The man survived the attack. Others are less lucky: Three days earlier, the police found in a Moscow court a 22-year-old Uzbek with a number of stab wounds. On the same day in the city of Samara, a 19-year-old was stabbed to death by six young men.

2010 were loud, "Sowa" in raids with a xenophobic background russia far 37 people killed and 368 injured. Currently a process is running against the gang of the icon painter Artur Ryno, who claims, from 2006 to 2008 a total of 37 "infidels" to have killed. "Since the school I hate the Caucasians.

They come to Moscow, close together and harass the Russians, "said the 18-year-old when he was arrested:" You have to clean the city ".
