Moscow Police Bust Alleged Racist Gang

MOSCOW POLICE BUST ALLEGED RACIST GANG

Two teenagers, detained in Moscow, are accused of taking part in more
than 30 racist murders. Police say the pair were part of a skinhead
gang that picked their victims based on ethnic background.

"They kept in touch via mobile phones and the Internet. Then they’d
get together for what they called ‘actions’. Their attacks were
always sudden and had one purpose only – to kill," Aleksandr Klimov,
Special Crime Investigator, said.

The story began to unfold when two Moscow students, Artur Ryno and
Pavel Skachevsky, were arrested last April on suspicion of killing
an Armenian businessman. Ryno has since confessed to 37 racially
motivated crimes.

Last month, four more youngsters suspected to be a part of the gang
were detained.

A total of nine alleged gang members are now charged with murder or
attempted murder.

Investigators say the group’s rule was: no women, no children –
they only attacked men. Something they called cleaning up the city.

Studies by SOVA Research Centre show last year 69 people were killed
in race hate attacks across Russia. Since the beginning of this year,
the number is 14.

Emil Lazarian: “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
