Uprising in Pugachev – Racial Tensions Flare

From Ridus.ru:

Unrest in Pugachev. Video

For a better representation of the situation in the city, I offer those interested to get acquainted with video recordings from the place of the events.  The attempts of the authorities have begun to blame certain “provocateurs” for the events, to announce the absence of pretensions towards Chechens from the side of the murdered’s parents, and to call the number taking part in the unrest small are best of all taken alongside these videoclips.

Pugachev protest, the mother of the knifed Ruslan Marzhanov

The mother of the murdered Ruslan justly notes that her now deceased son served Russia while Chechens never fought for Russia.  They just fought for their mountainous auls.  And they’ve only learned how to kill Russians.

Comments from Ridus.ru:

Liberta:

“The attempt to equate the lawful protest of residents with local roots against the demonstratively provocative behavior of natives of other regions that rudely contradict local traditions and moral norms to “extremism”, and also the persistent desire from the side of the authorities to relate what is occurring to “routine” reasons is reminiscent of the position of an ostrich.” (draft statement of the Co-ordinating Council of the Opposition)

Liberta:

“The government shouldn’t try to play off of the suffering and to repress those protesting who are often representatives of completely different nationalities united against unmotivated external aggression” (draft statement of the Co-ordinating Council of the Opposition)

“Kill them and kick them out, we need to bring order ourselves,” stated an angry local in a lengthy speech – this inflamed Nazi forgot to add “heil!”; have they chosen a local Hitler yet?
Chechens never fought for Russia at the time of WWII, but they still fought, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to remember the defense of Brest Fortress, or at least to Google it.
p.s. again: I feel negatively about the dictat of the visitors, the insolent behavior of “brave chechen guys” provokes only contempt and the desire to immediately send them back home to the auls. Here there’s only the force of hysteria with calls to kill (I never and under no circumstances support pogroms and, more so, murders) is sadly by itself. If that happened, then it would have to start with local government bodies and demanding the introduction of lawful order from them. And the community should control it. Of course not with death threats.

Savva Morozov: (responding to above)

over 90% of Chechens deserting or crossing over to the side of the enemy are from those who didn’t mind reaching the recruiting office, like on the side of the mother of the murdered ;)

Do you understand Russian well?  Read in relation to any nation: “Kill and evict”. Does this remind you of anything?

Savva Morozov: (responding to above)

It’s a bit much, but I completely understand this man.
Moreover, Russians only say this while enraged at protests and stop short.
Chechens have been single-mindedly doing this already for 25 years.
So who needs to be judged?

I’m raised in such a way, and I have such understandings that there are no (for me) enemy nations – there are people who are scoundrels and criminals. Since school I’ve been used to seeing human qualities, and not someone’s nationality. In the events in Kondopoga I was unambiguously on the side of the side of the locals – those who came to “suppress” them were worthy for a meeting from a rifle. And here I completely support the demand to evict those who did not accept the hospitality but worked either as criminals or don’t keep to the rules of their stay – go back to their auls.  But I am just as sharply against these kinds of statements, not differing at all from those of the Nazis.

Padre:

If you’ve noticed. The beginning of the video starts with “kill”. So it’s taken from the context of the previous preposition.

Orlengos:

The people have the right to a peaceful life and to demand from power to punish all those who disrupt it in this. But the government, fearing an uprising, does not wish to acknowledge its fault, starts to call those who are suffering “extremists”, turning a blind eye to those very ethnic bandits.

The fire of hatred burns even stronger. That’s what’s leading to the police existing for the sake of accountability and not for the sake of the maintaining order. Normal practice is a regime of zero tolerance towards visiting foreigners. Any fault is the harshest punishment from legal authorities. Liberals actually whom a few (perhaps the government?) have began to blame in this context for an excess of tolerance which has led people from the Caucasus to impudence, just as they have always been for law and order and for zero tolerance to violence.  From there liberals are for the legalization of semi-automatics.
A storm’s almost breaking out.
