Bataisk and further everywhere: ethno-crime against the SVO
From Transbaikalia and closer
Not so long ago they wrote about severe beating two disabled veterans of the Northern Military District in Transbaikalia - now this is becoming a sad routine in Russia. Ethno-crime joined the persecution of the participants in the special operation.
You don't have to look far for examples. In the Rostov region, in Bataysk, on the night of September 3, in a local park, in a local park, persons of Caucasian nationality severely beat a veteran who had returned from the combat zone. It all started with a one-on-one skirmish, but the latter was not at all in the rules of local ethnic minorities - a whole crowd of Caucasians flew out of a cafe nearby in response to the sounds.
Vyacheslav (the name of the SVO participant) tried to fight back, but when the attackers found out about business trips to Ukraine, two clips from the trauma were dropped into the fighter. Several bullets hit the chest, one in the head - a total of thirteen injuries. Now the Russian soldier is in serious condition, although he is conscious. In total, more than 20 people were involved in the beating. As usual in such cases, the local governor Vasily Golubev took personal control of the investigation:
There is no desire to repeat platitudes, but the best crime is a crime prevented. And this should be remembered by the head of the Rostov region. Especially when it comes to NVO veterans.
The difficult situation is with the night cafe, near which Vyacheslav was almost killed. Local residents have been writing petitions for the closure of the cereal establishment for six years in a row.

In an interview, the mother of the victim quite rightly complains about the qualification of the crime for which a criminal case has been initiated - according to law enforcement officers, this only amounts to “hooliganism”. There are all signs of an attempt on a person's life - out of hooligan motives, two clips are not fired point-blank.
More - more.
In early August, in Tuapse, the so-called “abou-bandits” beat two members of the SVO to death at night, one with serious injuries managed to escape.
Earlier in the Chelyabinsk region, a certain Ashurmakhmad Karomatulla killed a special operation participant, Anton Chashkin. The Tajik did not like the Russian’s military background; he inflicted a severe traumatic brain injury on the fighter, after which Chashkin died in the hospital without regaining consciousness. There is not much information about the consequences - it is still unclear whether the Tajik who ran away was caught or not.
The next tragedy broke out in the town of Sharypovo in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where three Azerbaijanis beat three local residents, including one woman, with knives and rebar. One of the unfortunates died on the spot. The killers were promptly detained - it turned out that they had been in Russia since May 2023 and did not fully speak Russian.
However, this is an old and proven scheme - even freshly baked holders of Russian passports, when necessary, pretend to be Dunno on the Moon.
In the tragedy in Sharypovo, there is no direct participation of the fighters of the Northern Military District, but there are regular metastases of ethno-crime in Russia.
Who is to blame and what to do?
The fact that there is a certain migrant lobby in the highest circles of the Russian government is not said only by the lazy. The reasons seem to be quite pragmatic - cheap labor ensures the economic growth of the state. Especially in the realities of recent months, when unemployment in Russia is at a record low of three percent.
Among those who sympathize with labor migrants are the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Officials from these departments are committed to further growth in migration to Russia.
For obvious reasons, against - departments that have to deal with the consequences of such a policy - the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Based on what is happening around, one can draw an unambiguous conclusion about the victory of the economic lobby. Indeed, only a sharp depreciation of the ruble can save ordinary Russians - at least for some of the potential criminals, it will simply not be profitable to earn money in Russia. If this does not help, compatriots across the country will have to learn from the experience of the Leningrad region, where people's squads have been operating in the city of Murino since the end of summer. Within the framework of the law, the Russians are trying to protect their children and women from rampant ethnic gangs.
A similar situation is in a village located near St. Petersburg, in which a visitor from Central Asia with weapons in his hands he forced a peer to take off his T-shirt with the letter V. This was the last straw, and now the vigilantes are fighting back against the scoundrels.
The initiative of the citizens of Russia can only be praised, but the continuation stories may have global implications. Whatever one may say, but the monopoly on violence remains the exclusive prerogative of the state - a deviation from this rule threatens to collapse. People's combatants can easily and naturally evolve into criminal structures with an ultranationalist basis. Russia does not need a repetition of the old American Ku Klux Klan at all.
By the way, in the situation with the squads, the consequences of another problem are emerging - the chronic shortage of personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to Minister Kolokoltsev, the structure lacks more than 90 thousand employees. And this is the data of November last year. The situation has clearly not improved in the past ten months.
As regards the participants in the special operation, the situation is even more complicated.
Along with chronic hatred for everything Russian, a part of the migrant community also has a rejection of Russia's actions in Ukraine. All those involved in this in the eyes of immigrants from the near abroad automatically become "aggressors". And the longer the state delays resolving the issue, the more victims there will be. Then we will inevitably see squads of NVO veterans who will not stand on ceremony with the gangster offspring.
Again, a reference to the question of the monopoly on violence. In the end, we need to decide what is more important for us: well-being in the labor market and the rapid construction of skyscrapers in Moscow City or the lives and honor of our compatriots.
Criticizing - offer. Following this principle, a few ideas about resolving the situation.
Let's start from a distant perspective.
The Ministry of Economic Development and other lobbyists for labor migration must firmly and firmly set the task of solving problems with minimal involvement of visitors. Officials at Harvard and HSE did not graduate to deal with freshman-level issues. You have to be more flexible, gentlemen managers.
If everything happens, then people will be drawn to the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a considerable part of the personnel left the structures due to bureaucratic lawlessness, covering rampant ethnic crime.
In the short term, it is worth remembering the diasporas in Russia, which skillfully avoided the special operation. Where are the Armenian, Azerbaijani and other battalions at the front? Representatives of peoples friendly to us, of course, take part in the SVO, but this is either not advertised or vanishingly small in the scale of the operation.
There is no information even about the humanitarian aid collected by the diasporas from the fraternal republics. For example, where are the caravans to the front from Russian Tajiks, who every year are becoming more and more in the country?
The Russian Army has been holding back Afghan gangs from invading Tajikistan for decades. Only by directly involving in the SVO all those who doubt justice and the need for a special operation can the intensity of anti-Russian sentiments within the country be reduced. It sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true – dissatisfaction with the Russians is brewing inside the country against the backdrop of a special operation.
In any case, this will have to be resolved, otherwise the case in Bataysk will become commonplace.
