Throats slashed and bodies dumped, three slain Uzbek immigrants were discovered in the Moscow region, police announced today as racial violence continued to climb starkly in Russia’s streets.
This year has unleashed a dramatic increase in skinhead and neo-Nazi attacks, many of them aimed at Caucasian and Central Asian immigrants from hardscrabble former Soviet republics who flock to Russia to eke out a living. The bodies turn up beaten, bruised and stabbed, sometimes tortured or mutilated.
The first body discovered this week belonged to a 32-year-old Uzbek killed Tuesday night. Later that night, the bodies of two Uzbek brothers, ages 23 and 30, were found in a house under construction, according to the Russian Interfax news agency.
