Are the Russian nationalists mad at immigrants, or muzzies or Jews or everyone that is not born in Russia?
Do politics enter into this?
And last but not least, does the pic have something to do with the riots or is it a symbol of how they elite party on while the peons riot?
The Russians are not hampered by political correctness.
They are very aware of the ethnicity of each other. Each group has their own targets.
Living under tyranny and poverty breeds jealousy and suspician...I’ve seen old ladies, in Moscow, sorting through the refuse thrown out from open air markets, looking for something to eat. “I better get there first!”
It hardens people.
In fact Russian ‘racism’ is very different.
You can easily see Jews and a lot of Asians among rioters.
Russian society is both race and gender blind.
It is mostly cultural. They don’t like brown muslim people since they don’t mix with major population and setting troubles on their Southern border.
In this particular reason there were a few of violent crimes committed by muslim immigrants attracted attention nationwide in Russia. Authorities has failed to investigate it out of PC reason so the riots happen.
