An Indian student was stabbed to death on Sunday night in the fourth racist murder in Russian city.





The 27-year-old suffered multiple stab wounds just making it to the door of the hostel where he lived. He was found unconscious and bleeding by fellow students who called for help.





An Indian student was stabbed with a knife in central St. Petersburg district late on Wednesday.

The fifth-year student, Anjani Kumar, 23, of the local Mechnikov Medical Academy was returning to his hostel on Wednesday night, when he was attacked by a group of "unidentified" youths, who stabbed him in the neck.

The incident comes in the wake of a string of racial attacks by Russian skinheads in different parts of the country to mark Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler's birthday on Thursday.



Although there is a visible police presence in public places frequented by non-whites, many Asian and African expatriates and students have decided to stay at home on Thursday.

Police are looking into the incident, which took place only days after a Senegalese university student was murdered in St. Petersburg in what investigators are considering a possible hate crime. The victim was gunned down as he and a group of fellow African students were leaving a night club earlier this month.

Lamzar Samba was a fifth-year student at St. Petersburg's Communications Institute, who belonged to African Unity, a human rights organization that represents the interests of the city's African community.

AP quoted the city's deputy prosecutor, Andrei Lavrenko, as telling NTV television that a hunting gun decorated with a swastika was found at the crime scene.

Racist violence is a mounting problem in Russia. Members of ultranationalist and other groups regularly harass or attack Africans, Asians, and non-Slavic residents from the Caucasus or the formerly Soviet republics of Central Asia. A group calling itself the Party of Freedom welcomed the killing in St. Petersburg, saying on its website, "the cleanup of the city continues."

Russian nationalists are out of control.

the poor guy. omg, i feel sad for his family. but why r indians going to russia for education? they should just come to america where there are much lower incidents of hate crimes against indians. not counting the few months right after 9/11, of course.

harder to get student visas because of 9/11. A lot of Indian muslims don't want to go there now as well because they have to do a special registration with homeland secuirty .

anything is better than europe. desis have it bad there. i think canada & usa is the safest.

$hit if i were a fob and i couldnt get a visa to enter the us or canada, then i'd go to dubai.

Oman is another great place modern but still respectful society and Islamic values.

Russia is decaying as it is. Just a little while back the Eastern Orthodox Church lashed out against Hinduism in a pathetic attempt to shift blame.

This is so fu-ked up. I use to like Russia. I heard they use to like Bollywood movies, in the 50s. I guess that's over.

Very sad. That reminds me...my Indian biology teacher was married to a Russian immigrant.

This is why I'm against state and ethnic pride, and by the peshwas forever

Not all Russian people are bad lol, I dunno about Russia, but I always had good experiances with Russians when I lived in NJ. One of my good friends was Russian, and his family was really nice.

I do think Russian skinheads are retarded, they should read up their history about what the Nazis did to the Russian people.

I also think racism shows a certain lack of humanity on the behalf the individual.

Brighton(sp) beach ? A lot of them are pro democracy pro immigration.

canada is best place to live outside india for indians.


my experience with russians is also very good.... two of my bhabhi jees are russian. its hard to imagine that even russians can be racists...

Yeah I'm not really sure where the beef comes from, since our two countries have been friends.

The Russian government doesn't do much about hate crimes.

russia has a high unemployment rate. so you have all these jobless vodka drunks going around blaming and beating up the foreingers for all their problems

I think they blew up a market were foreigners worked as well if I'm not mistaken?

This is very unfortunate. I feel sorry for those students and their families. *sigh*

I wonder what those skinhead's old veteran of the great war would say if they saw hitler's tat's on 'em.

wow, that was fu-ked up, those loser bastards. do they even have a fu-king job.

does anybody know, if Russian, Indian relations are still good.? They were a long time ago, I don't know about know.

I know that on Putin's last visit to India that he cleaned his cuttlery with vodka before he ate.

Yeah, I'd definitely advise anyone who isn't white and wants to study in Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, to watch their backs constantly. Same goes for non-white tourists, particularly backpackers who go cheap and use the subways and other forms of public transportation.

Non-whites are routinely harrassed and beaten up by skinheads, including non-white russians, i.e. Mongolian and Persian/muslim looking minority groups members.

That sucks man, because St. Petersburg has the Hermitage museum.

knuckleheads

Here's a link with what must be a comprehensive list of skinhead "activities":

http://www.fsumonitor.com/stories/051002SkinheadReport.html


It's by a Russian Jewish watchdog group. Relevant to AF is that it mentions a lot of hate crimes committed against Asian Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

Below is an exerpt on Asian Indians:



55 foreign students stealing precious medical school slots from drunken Vodka drinking no-good Russians. Dang, if I were a Russian drunk, I'd be pissed too! 'Bout time we teach those damn foreigners a lesson.

The Evolution from Loser to Skinhead to Murder:

dismay then then then

-----------------------

Yeah, I think I just hit the nail on the head, successfully psychoanalyzing the mind of a skinhead. It's either that or I gotta lotta free time.







Probably still very good. I definitely think the goverment is very unhappy about foreign students getting beaten up and killed. It's just that the crime problem is Russia is so bad that wealthy Russian businessmen and politicians are routinely murdered. So the problem of hate crime is just one of many that they are unable to solve at the moment.

I think that explains a lot of it. I think in the past these guys would have been staunch unionists in the past. They need to learn to be polite racists like the Japanese.

omg. that is so fu-ked up! THESE fu-kTARDS SERIOUSLY NEED TO fu-kEN DIE!!!!!!!!!!

wow, russia is kinda ruff these days, still if our gov. is cool, then i guess our relations aren't that bad. those bastards are a drain on society, the russian police should be more proactive, to counter this attacks.

Sad News .

The Russian government seriously needs to do something about this. It is giving Russians a very bad image. I was avid admirer of Russia and its people. That is why I took Russian revolution and studied the U.S.S.R. I even wanted to visit Russia. But now, hell no.
