A pogrom in Moscow

In evening of tuesday 30th some 200-300 boneheads gathered
near Tsaritsyno metro station of Moscow southside between 6 PM
and 8.30. They had decided to target a market near Tsaritsyno station
half hours after its closing time 8 PM, when only traders, many of whom
Caucasians or other "blacks", were remaining.

Crowd raided market armed with iron bars, shouting slogans "bash
the blacks!" and "Spartak is the champion!", destroying everything
in sight. Some wore RNE (Russian National Unity-party, biggest nazi party)
symbols. Two persons, 37 year old Armenian and 35 year old Indian men
were killed on the spot, their heads crushed with iron bars. A Kurdish woman
managed to save her 5 year old daughter with cost of her ribs and nose
broken.

Few cops appeared quite soon, shooting to air. Nazis withdrew to metro.
20.48 they splitted to two groups in Kashirskaya metro station, bigger of
them (some 150 persons) continued to Kahovskaya station (my neighbourhood),
to raid
hotel Sevastopolskaya where many Afghani are living. Nazis trashed windows
and beat up some 5 residents, including 7 years old boy who got serious
brain
damage. Besides 2 killed, at least some 23 persons were wounded altogehter
in market,
hotel and metro, five of whom in a very serious condition. Many of the
wounded were Russians, who
just happened to have too dark hair and skin. It is quite hard to make a
difference
between Russians and Caucasians ("blacks") targeted by hate-propaganda,
and for foreign people often impossible.

Dozens of young men were arrested at random in the southside, most
of whom propably have nothing to do with the pogrom. A
17 year old was arrested on the spot at Tsaritsyno, accused of manslaughter,
but
it is a question will there be enough evidence against him. No people have
been
sentenced to prison for Moscow pogroms until now, altough 5 of the
organisers
of similar pogrom at Yasenevsko market place 21st of April this year are
arrested
and waiting their court.

Official police version is that some fans of Spartak just "were not able to
hold back" their
happiness for victory of the championship, and everything was spontaneous
and unorganised.
They do not bother to explain who brought the iron bars to crowd who came
unarmed, and how
the date was fit to both Davos forum and "Lokomotiv - Real Madrid" match to
where much of the
police force were ordered. Moscow city mayor Luzhkov did not swallowed
police version,
but for sure he will not change his racist and un-constitutional
registration policy, motivated
with "Caucasian problem", "too many Caucasians living in capital".
Mainstream media also joined
to hypocrite outry, and for example for Moskovskiy Komsomolets (biggest
tabloid) it was not
a problem to publish almost full page article about "Caucasian problem"
right on the next page!

This was at least 3rd lethal nazi attack this year - 22nd of April nazis
celebrated Hitler's birthday
and killed a Chechen boy, 23rd of August skinheads attacked refugees from
Angola in Moscow
refugee consultation of the UN, killing one of them. Most of the nazi
attacks propably do not
come to daylight, since many of the victims are illegal immigrants targeted
with police harrassment and
not endowed to free healthcare. 31st of october there was also an incident,
some Azerbaidzani and
Russians had an argument, and suddendly Azerbaidzanis were shot and
seriously wounded.

Some speculation:

Nazis are also very strongly interlinked with organised crime, and the fact
that another of the
two market places at Tsaritsyno metro station was not targeted raises a
suspicion that it was
about underworld control of the market. Maybe market had failed to pay for
protection, or
paid to wrong people? Of course it is possible that economical and political
interest was combined,
and also possible that there was no mafia connection this time.

There exists a certain balance of fear in Moscow, Luzhkov is eager to
terrorize Caucasians
in order to finance his police force - without bribes collected from illegal
Caucasians he would
be absolutely unable to feed and maintain his 150 000 strong police force.
But for the same
reason he is also not able to kick Caucasians out, altough he poses as if
that is what he is up for.
In another hand everybody also thought that Hitler couldn't have afforded to
destroy Jews,
and look what happened.
