    POLITICAL EXPERT: WHEN DARK-HAIRED MIGRANTS ARE BEATEN IN RUSSIA, THEY ARE NOT ASKED TO SHOW THEIR PASSPORTS OR CROSS ON THE CHAIN

    "The problem of migrants is used during the campaign of mayoral
    elections in Moscow, because that problem is extremely popular in
    Russia", Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of the Caucasus Institute,
    said during the Aug 29 debates entitled "The Migrants in Russia:
    Legislation, Discourses and Political Practice". Iskandaryan thinks
    that xenophobia and interethnic scuffles will keep on growing in
    Russia.

    "Though Russia displays a more or less loyal attitude to Georgians
    and Armenians, that loyalty is displayed by a certain part of Russian
    people. The aggressive part of the Russian society does not take into
    account the nationality of the migrants. When the dark-haired migrants
    are beaten in Russia, they are not asked to show their passports or
    cross on the chain", stressed the expert. He said that the negative
    attitude to the migrants in Russia is nothing new but it is not a
    general phobia, because Russian people display a negative attitude
    to certain groups of migrants.
