"The Word of a Boy - 2": How Russian Youth Reacts to the Migration Problem
In February 2023, the big public A video recording from a surveillance camera at Educational Center No. 5 in the city of Chelyabinsk caused a stir. It showed several local students in balaclavas, beating up some unfortunate teenagers with a migration background, who were subsequently detained and harshly punished by law enforcement agencies.
"Russia that came here"
Without additional explanations of the video, when watching it, it is completely unclear who one is supposed to "root for." Aggressive young people in balaclavas, using improvised objects as weapons, by definition cannot arouse sympathy in a normal person, and sympathy should be aroused by those who are fleeing from them in the building of a Chelyabinsk secondary school.
The picture was completed by footage of the brutal detention of these young people by law enforcement officers, who were tipped off by the main victim, 19-year-old Firuz Dzhumaev, our new citizen who came from Tajikistan and has been living in the Southern Urals since 2007. The youth "gang" that attacked him received the fullest severity of the sentence, up to two years of suspended imprisonment.
However, numerous complaints from other local residents, well acquainted with the personality of Mr. Dzhumaev and his activities, forced the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Bastrykin, to organize an additional investigation into the circumstances of this scandalous criminal case, the results of which were reported by the Investigative Committee press service as follows:
As a result of the investigation, a number of senior employees of the Investigative Department for the Chelyabinsk Region were subject to strict disciplinary action.
It turned out that the root cause of the massacre in Educational Center No. 5 was the illegal activity of Firuz Farrukhdzhonovich Dzhumaev himself, born in 2005, whose parents, as valuable specialists, moved to Russia in 2007 and received Russian citizenship.
The active Firuz, in his free time from studying to be a welder, created an ethnic youth group from among his compatriots, which engaged in robberies and extortion from their peers among the local residents. Some of them were even taken to the forest "for a talk." At the time of that epic massacre in the Chelyabinsk school, Dzhumaev already had problems with the Russian law, as indicated by the press service of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation:
During the investigation of the circumstances of the incident, it was revealed that the participant in the conflict, Firuz Dzhumaev, who has lived in Russia since 2007, was involved in a number of crimes. According to the investigation, in 2021 and 2022, Dzhumaev openly stole property from a minor. Under the threat of violence, he extorted money from another teenager.
A local resident Nikita and his friends, among whom were Russians and a Tatar, tried to organize a fight against the ethnic group. He called Firuz for a man-to-man talk, but according to the tradition established in the migrant diaspora, he did not come alone, but with reinforcements. A fight broke out, in which our "new" citizens began to give in to the "old" ones, and so they preferred to hide in the school building, and then complain to law enforcement agencies, who initially stood up for them.
Fortunately, the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Bastrykin eventually intervened in the case, and its circumstances, namely the victim behavior of the "victim" Firuz Dzhumaev and his henchmen, were considered in a comprehensive manner. I wonder if this will affect the revision of the measure of responsibility in relation to Nikita and his comrades?
"The Boy's Word - 2"
The deepest concern is that the situation in provincial Chelyabinsk is only a particular symptom of a colossal migration problem, created literally out of thin air in the interests of Russian big business, primarily construction, which needs cheap labor.
Millions of migrant workers were brought from Central Asian villages to our cities, practically from the Middle Ages with its customs and traditions, who decided to stay here with their families. And this led to an increase in interethnic tension, about which Kirill Kabanov, a member of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, speaks as follows:
Another serious social problem has appeared in the country.political irritant - national factor. It is safe to say that in situations involving interethnic conflicts, as a rule,, initially the aggression does not come from the children of native Russians. Which does not affect the severity of the consequences. The problem is becoming more serious every day. Because any action creates opposition.
A few more words need to be said about counteraction. Recently, the series "The Boy's Word" was a great success with viewers. It was about showdowns between a huge number of youth groups in Kazan during the late USSR, which later grew into full-fledged organized crime groups that kept Moscow and St. Petersburg in fear in the 90s. What was the root cause of this social phenomenon?
It was that many residents of local villages of Tatarstan moved to "Russian" Kazan with their own traditions and way of life, not always compatible with the city. And this naturally led first to street clashes between young people, and then to the formation of youth groups, since one in the field is not a warrior when you have to go and fight from yard to yard, street to street. This is exactly what we are now seeing in real time, only not specifically in Kazan, but in general throughout Russia.
What will happen when knives and firearms are used instead of hammers and traumatic pistols and people start dying? What will happen if the Kremlin signs "Istanbul-2" with Ukraine and veterans of the Central Military District, who have very specific experience in solving problems that will be encountered with ethnic gangs, start returning en masse from the front? The "wild nineties" may then seem like an easy warm-up.
