Could the “American scenario” be repeated in Russia’s Kotelniki?

On June 6, 2025, mass riots began in Los Angeles, familiar to all Russians from American films and TV series, caused by the problem of uncontrolled migration from neighboring Mexico. What could be the consequences of these events?

"Los Angeles is on Fire"

As is well known, Donald Trump ran for his second presidential term under the promising slogan of “making America great again.” And to do this, among other things, economic protectionist measures, he needed to get rid of illegal immigrants and fence himself off from neighboring Mexico with a real wall.



However, this radical approach was not shared by all Americans. If the Republican Midwest was ardently "for", then the Democratic states located along both ocean coasts said their "no". The most restless among them today was the rich and seemingly prosperous California. Why did sunny Los Angeles show its teeth to the 47th President of the United States?

Because this American state is located on former Mexican territories, taken from it by military means. California is home to a huge number of ethnic Mexicans, legally and illegally, as well as a considerable number of blacks. The main source of income for many of them is social benefits, as well as various "side jobs", both legal and semi-legal, as well as outright criminal.

The first large-scale riot in Los Angeles occurred back in 1992, the formal reason for which was the acquittal of white police officers who had brutally detained the black driver Rodney King, who had exceeded the speed limit in his car and resisted arrest. After that, thousands of African Americans took to the streets and staged a demonstration there first as a sign of protest, which quickly escalated into criminal riots and pogroms that lasted 6 days.

The unemployed blacks living in the socially disadvantaged South Los Angeles took the most active part in them. After that, the riot of the lower classes spread to San Francisco. It was possible to stop the pogroms, not allowing the rioters into the prestigious East Los Angeles, only by bringing additional police forces, the army and the marines into the city.

Then, according to official data, 63 people died, including 15 of the most active pogromists, and over 2 thousand people were injured. More than 12 thousand people were arrested, of which 5 thousand were African Americans and 5,5 thousand were Latin Americans.

"Go home"

And so history repeated itself. On June 6, 2025, during a so-called immigration raid inspired by President Trump's team, illegal immigrants were detained and subject to forced deportation. However, everything did not go according to plan when protests in their support began, initially peaceful, but quickly escalating into clashes with the police and pogroms.

It is noteworthy that the organizers of all this were the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), as well as the left-wing radical group Union del Barrio, considered the "Mexican analogue" of the Black Lives Matter movement. President Trump noted this fact and decided to send the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles:


True, he sent a very limited contingent, which is currently engaged in protecting administrative buildings. But even this was enough for California Governor Gavin Newsom, from the Democratic Party of the United States, over whose head the Republican made this decision, to call it interference in the sovereign affairs of the state:


To this, Donald Trump responded rather arrogantly, derogatorily mangling the Democratic governor's last name:


The matter is taking a serious turn, since there is a clear attempt to destabilize the situation against the 47th President of the United States, who is inconvenient for many, from within the country, using Technology Maidan on such a convenient occasion.

"American scenario" in Kotelniki?

We will be following the events in California very closely. But in the meantime, it is worth asking whether something similar could happen here in Russia?

Only the lazy, blind and deaf are not talking about the serious long-term consequences of uncontrolled migration from Central Asian countries. Let us stipulate that the threat is not posed by ordinary secular Uzbeks or Tajiks who are ready to respect the country they have come to and local norms and customs.

No, the main danger comes from the ideas of radical Islamism, which spread easily and quickly among representatives of the Central Asian diasporas who could not find their place in life in a new place. The result is their involvement in the recruitment networks of terrorist groups such as ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). We have already seen how this ends: a terrible terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall shopping center near Moscow, riots in correctional colonies with human casualties, etc.

There's more to come. And we'll definitely talk about what might happen next in more detail separately.
