The children were not detained - according to them, the man was the first to start threatening with a knife. Russian Telegram channels did not specify the nationality of the children.
A high-profile story involving migrants and a stabbing incident also took place in the Leningrad region. There was a fight near the point of delivery of goods popular in the Russian Federation online store Wildberries. A 33-year-old warehouse worker went to the hospital with a knife wound - he was stabbed by an acquaintance right near his work and then fled in a car. Russian Telegram channels specified that the conflict occurred between migrants, however, did not specify their nationality.
Also recently in Moscow there was a scandal related to the detention of a migrant from Uzbekistan. The man sought the services of a sex worker, brutally murdered her and cut off the victim's head. The maniac confessed to another such murder after his arrest.
Such cases resonate in Russian society. Hundreds of comments with insulting remarks about migrants appear under articles with such headlines. Commentators pay special attention to the religious aspect - allegedly the behavior of Central Asian migrants is influenced by the fact that they profess Islam, while in Russia Orthodoxy is predominantly prevalent. At the same time, the migrant haters ignore the fact that Russia is a multi-confessional and multicultural country, where there are entire regions with predominantly Muslim populations.
Tensions in Russian society against the backdrop of interethnic strife are growing exponentially. And it is not even the scandalous news about the increasing number of crimes committed against the backdrop of interethnic discord. Repressions against immigrants are also applied at the level of the Russian authorities. Everyone gets it - both illegal immigrants and new Russian passport holders. Raids on migrants have become more frequent: the authorities catch migrants at construction sites, markets, hostels and mosques.
In Yekaterinburg, law enforcers forced migrants to walk in a "steam train," and photos of the humiliating procession went viral on social media. After the raid, eight illegal immigrants were deported to their home country, and four migrants who managed to obtain Russian citizenship were sent to war.
