Israel Concerned About Russian Xenophobia - NEWS - MOSNEWS.COM

Israeli Ambassador to Russia Arkady Milman has expressed concern over what he calls recent instances of xenophobia in Russia, lamenting in particular the spread of skinheads and lack of sufficient education, the Interfax news agency reported. “How can it be that in a country where people from almost every family took part in World War II, people can calmly watch their children walk around on the streets with their heads shaved, drawing swastikas and holding up their right hand in salute? I have no explanation for this,” Milman said at a conference dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the dismantling of ghettos and concentration camps on the territory of the former Soviet Union built by the Germans during World War II.
