Gangs of New Russia: Birthers, Gunslingers, Knife-wielders, Their own "ya ne znayo, neechevo" ers.………..
“Neo-Nazi groups killed dozens in Russia last year, with one group posting a video on the Internet of the stabbing death of a Ghanaian man. Britain's Sky News reported 71 killings by neo-Nazi death squads in 2009, among them the stabbing death of Solomon Attengo Gwa-jio in St. Petersburg. The group Warriors of the White Revolution claimed responsibility for the Gwa-jio killing and posted a video of the attack in which the victim was stabbed 20 times. No arrests have been made. Russia's largest ultranationalist organization, the Slavic Union, said it does not endorse violence. Dmitry Dyomushkin, the group's leader, said the Slavic Union represents a legitimate challenge to the government. Members train in the woods outside Moscow with rifles, semi-automatic weapons and knives, he said. "Sixty percent of Russians support our goals. But even with this majority we are not allowed to be part of the political process because the government has squeezed out opposition. The whole new generation of Russians are nationalists -- our influence on young people is very strong," Dyomushkin said……..”
Their talk is almost like what I hear on my car radio. They need their own version of talk radio gasbags, and a famous news network. Their own version of : ya ne znayo, neechevo (a ka knownothingers).
Not much of a chance for large pogroms like the old days anymore: the potential victims are emigrating in droves, to America and the West Bank.
Do you get the feeling they were better off under the Soviet (or Tsarist) era? When they were a diverse people of many ethnic backgrounds?
