An ethnic Armenian teenager was stabbed to death in a metro station
in central Moscow on Saturday night – the latest attack in a growing
wave of racist violence in Russia. At least six immigrants have been
killed so far this month, and many more have been wounded. Media
reports said that a man in black clothing with a shaven head had
stabbed the victim several times at Pushkin Square station, not far
from the Kremlin, before fleeing. Vagan Abramyants, 17, a student,
died on the spot. A friend who was with him at the time was badly
wounded in the attack.
