He noted that the chief editors of the media have repeatedly and openly told him that without mentioning the North Caucasus or its inhabitants, there are no views.
On the evening of Thursday, November 4, a group of young people attacked a man with a small child near New Vatutinki in New Moscow. The incident was captured on video. The footage shows how the man, trying to protect the child, offers to fight one on one.
The Investigative Committee of Russia began to investigate the case. The attackers turned out to be natives of one of the Transcaucasian countries, three of them received Russian citizenship in the city of Orenburg.
On November 5, Simonyan published a statement on the Telegram channel that “visitors and persons of Caucasian nationality jump” to the point that Russia will reintroduce a strict check of registration and registration and will check it at every metro station. She found this decision to be correct.
