MURDER AS STRUGGLE

“The Fuehrer’s successors conquer Russian cities swifter than the
Nazi troops in the autumn of 1941,” one of Moscow’s newspapers gives
alarm on occasion of the murder of 17 years old Armenian student
Vahan Abrahamiants.
What strikes one in this heinous crime is its unspeakable impudence
that is certainly the result of assurance of staying unpunished. The
headlines of Russian papers evidence to it: “Student Slain In Front of
A Dozen of People”, “Killing and Leaving by Train”, “Hitler Conquers
Moscow” etc.
It’s merely unbelievable how the murderer could escape the police after
stabbing the Armenian student to death at Pushkinskaya subway station –
one of the central stations in Moscow – that was heavily guarded by
the police for Easter celebrations. All tragedy is that people are
being killed in Russia today for a darker skin and for narrower eyes.
One has an impression that the Russians, particularly lower orders,
instinctively feel that something is happening to them, that they
are losing their national identity, spiritual charge, moral ground
and are turning into faceless and invertebrate creatures. And they
turn to the most primitive most animal way of struggle…
