Ethnic tensions are on the rise in
Russia, having come to a head with Moscow’s worst anti-migrant riots in
years in October, and continuing to smolder into November with a
nationalist rally thick with xenophobic overtones.
RFE/RL reporting on migrants in Russia examines the demographic and
economic roots of this highly-charged issue while revealing the human
face of the story through the voices of the millions of migrants from
Central Asia and the Caucasus who live in Russia, mostly working in
markets or doing manual labor to send remittances home. Uniquely
positioned to report from Russia as well as the home countries of many
of the migrants, RFE/RL provided a composite picture of the problem with
a variety of views.
RFE/RL's Russian Service has video of police clashing with rioters on October 13. Angry over the fatal stabbing days earlier of a young ethnic Russian, allegedly at the hands of a man from Azerbaijan, rioters smashed shop windows and stormed a vegetable warehouse in the southern Biryulevo district of the city.
The next day, fear swept through Moscow’s migrant community after police conducted raids and arrested some 1,600 migrants. An ethnic Uzbek migrant from Tajikistan who works in the Biryulevo warehouse spoke to RFE/RL’s Uzbek Service about the uneasy climate in which migrants live, including the constant fear of raids that often mean beatings at the hands of the police.
