State Duma deputy from Chechnya called for an investigation into the attack on natives of Ingushetia in the Vladimir region

Law enforcement agencies must respond to the nationalist incident in the Vladimir region. There, unknown individuals beat up natives of Ingushetia who were returning from work. The attack was accompanied by nationalist chants, said State Duma deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov. "What is happening in the video is pure nationalism and lawlessness, which must be thoroughly investigated and the instigators punished. Unfortunately, when something like this happens to national minorities, law enforcement officers often turn a blind eye to it," Delimkhanov said. He recalled that the attackers used batons, knives and brass knuckles. According to Delimkhanov, while different peoples of Russia are fighting in the "SVO", here some renegades are sowing discord, undermining stability and harmony, which is absolutely unacceptable. He and his colleagues will take all legal measures to bring the perpetrators to justice, calling on law enforcement to conduct an objective investigation. On May 6, in the city of Kamenskovo in the Vladimir region, a mass brawl took place on the porch of the 777 Hotel. It is reported that the natives of Ingushetia may have been attacked by members of the Russian Community movement, which, as the media have repeatedly reported, is supervised by Russian security agencies.
