Tajik citizens committed 7,717 crimes in Russia in 2005, which is
9.7% more than in 2004 and more than the number of crimes committed
by citizens of any other CIS country last year, according to the
Interior Ministry’s Main Information and Analysis Center, a police

Ukrainians committed the second largest number of crimes in Russia

number of crimes committed by Georgian citizens remained nearly the
same as compared to 2004 and amounted to 2,047. As many as 1,789

of Kazakhstan.

Citizens of Turkmenistan turned out the most law-abiding ones, as

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
