Long live the Russian Federation!

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

There is money in Russia now, but in the hands of a minority

Thats capitalism for you!

A lot of people have benefited, but many Russian have not.

This is a large part of the reason why Russian nationalism is on the rise. As is the case in much of Europe, the Russian are sick of foreigners and crooks feeding off them.

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

Moscow, and to a lesser extent St Petersburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, Ekaterinburg..etc attract people
because Russia has become an important exporter of commodities. There is money in Russia now,
but in the hands of a minority

what you say is correct, but enterprising folk have become successful in Moscow, and that
includes "Azeris" - there is a Moscow restaurant chain called Shesh-Besh, operated by those guys

A lot of people have benefited, but many Russian have not. If you have money, Russia is not
a bad place. There are many shopping malls, luxury products from around the world and a big
choice of restaurants

If you are a businessman you can make money. Workers' salaries are low

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

and government is not doing enough to punish those bastards...

They are doing something. They arrested 1000 people as a pre-emptive measure yesterday so that there would not be another planned demonstration. Don't forget that this last protest did not only consist of Neo-Nazis. It was actually triggered after a futbol fan was shot dead and included many different segments of society. It's just that the skinheads overshadowed the demonstration.

And on what charges could they be punished? Rioting? That's gonna keep them in jail for barely for a few months (if not less?) which is probably more than what rioters get in the West.

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

some Armenians are ok in Russia, others are not
Those better integrated, probably are not targeted
Many Russians see no difference between Armenian, "Azeri", Daghestani, Abkhaz, Chechen,
Ingush, Georgian, Tajik, Turkmen, Uzbek, Kabardin...
A lot of angry people in Russia, people struggling with living standards
They vent their anger at migrant workers

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

Didn't wanna create a new thread just on this topic. A massive demonstration of disgruntled Slavic Russians, Russian futbol fans, nationalists and Neo-Nazis took place a few days ago in Moscow following the death of a futbol fan shot by police, I believe. Following link has tons of great shots of it, of which I will post a few. View them all here
