Current's Christof Putzel investigates a growing movement in Russia where neo-Nazi groups are brutally attacking immigrants and spreading their hate by posting violent videos online.

Quite an interesting (albeit sad) video. It's like American History X, but very.. very.. real. I can't really think of what else to add, other than I think it's worth talking about this, because I had no idea Russia had such a big (and growing) problem before I watched this video.
It seems like this will inevitably happen anywhere that xenophobia is allowed to propagate, and anywhere where you find disenchanted poor people who believe immigrants are the reason they can't find and maintain steady employment.
As a matter or fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find this thing springing up closer to home, where poor white people with no job skills start blaming "Mexicans" for taking all their jobs, when in reality it's their inability to educate themselves and become
valuable employees that is the direct cause. Texas, for one, springs to mind.
