Russian Racists

So are the French from what I heard.

"Nationalism is on the rise in Russia; Minorities face growing hostility" by Kathy Lally |  Washington Post, November 12, 2013

MOSCOW — When Russians celebrated the Day of National Unity last week, marchers waving imperial flags and shouting racist slogans paraded through cities across the country while ethnic minority citizens and migrants from the former Soviet Union stayed out of sight, better to avoid a beating.

AmeriKa, f*** yeah!

Russians are growing increasingly nationalistic, according to the latest polls, and Muslims from the Caucasus and migrant workers from Central Asia are facing more hostility. 

Uh-oh. Agenda-pushing globalist new$paper doesn't like nationalism.

Those groups get blamed for much of what goes wrong here, including corruption, crime, and dead-end jobs.

That's what is behind the veil laws in free Europe. 

Good to see the war-promoting jewspaper picking up the Muslim cause though.

President Vladimir Putin has tried to exploit the underlying xenophobia, casting himself as a leader defending a special country — built on Christian Orthodox tradition — from a predatory and dissolute world.

Yup bad Vlad Putin, the man who should have won a peace prize for Syria and something the agenda-pushing pre$$ will never forgive.

At the same time, he sounds inclusive regarding the 10 percent of the population that identifies as Muslim, speaking of Russia as a tolerant and multicultural society.

Gee, he's acting just like Obummer.

It’s a feat of balance that is beginning to show deep strains.

Obummer's approval ratings going down is the result of the lip-service.

In mid-October, ethnic Russians rioted at a vegetable market in the southern Moscow neighborhood of Biryulyovo, hunting down mostly Muslim migrants from within Russia and without to attack. The unrest was set off by the killing of an ethnic Russian, but it revealed a deep sense of resentment among the young and underemployed.

On Oct. 24, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a populist member of the lower house of Parliament and head of the Liberal Democratic Party, told the main television channel that the North Caucasus — a part of Russian territory containing Dagestan and Chechnya — should be fenced off with barbed wire. Births there of a third child should be taxed, he said, to discourage large families.

The Day of National Unity, which Putin made a holiday in 2005 to replace the annual celebration of the Bolshevik Revolution, officially commemorates the victory over Poles who invaded Moscow in 1612. It was meant to inspire Russians, reminding them how they came together as a people to overcome a foreign enemy.

Instead, Nov. 4 has become a day for Russian marches where the black-and-gold flag of the old Russian empire is raised along with Orthodox banners and the occasional swastika by marchers chanting ‘‘Russia for Russians’’ along with anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish slogans. 

I'm always fascinated by that since Nazi Germany was Russia's greatest enemy in all history, and it was Jewish Bolsheviks like Kaganovich and Yagoda that were the greatest mass murderers of all time. People don't know their own history, or am I being presented a distorted version of what is actually occurring?

The Moscow Russian March this year drew a crowd police estimated at 8,000, fewer than expected as a cold, slanting rain kept up a steady assault. Police detained about 30 people for wearing masks or carrying swastikas and other banned objects.

A poll by the independent Levada Center in October found that 66 percent supported the idea of Russia for Russians. So far, only a few lonely voices have been speaking up to counter the simmering ethnic tension, including Mikhail Prokhorov, the billionaire owner of the Brooklyn Nets, who urged people to stay away from nationalistic marches.

Last week, a wealthy businessman named Viktor Bondarenko said he was forming a new party called Russia for All to combat racism and extreme nationalism.

One thing I have noticed all these years reading my Zionist-controlled jewspaper is that everyone is in the world has prejudice, everyone except Jews.

Thus we get demonization of Putin and Russia in my agenda-pushing and war-promoting pages of my propaganda pre$$.
