Krasnodar Skinheads Kill One Of The Their Own

Aug 24 2005
Two neo-Nazi students at the Krasnodar Agro-University have been
charged with murdering one of their comrades for insufficient zeal,
according to an August 16, 2005 article in the local newspaper
“Krasnodarskie Izvestiya” and an August 17, 2005 article in the local
paper “Kuban Segodnya.” The 19 year old student was accused by his
comrades of losing interest in the local neo-Nazi movement because he
stopped attending neo-Nazi concerts and meetings of the local chapter
of Russian National Unity. When he dismissed these accusations with a
laugh, the two neo-Nazis beat him severely. The victim, identified in
the reports only as Andrey, then went home to his village outside the
city, where he began to feel ill and later died of internal injuries.
One of the attackers reportedly has a criminal record-he received a
two year suspended sentence for his participation in an act of mass
vandalism directed at Armenian tombstones in 2002.
