Artur Rino, student of Icon Painting College, during the legal
investigation admitted that he had murdered 37 foreigners because
of their nationality. The 18-years-old skinhead had committed those
murders with his friend Pavel Skachevski, student of Russian State
University of Physical Culture, Russian media informed. They were
arrested on April 17 and charged with the murder of the Armenian
Karen Abrahamian. The latter was stabbed and killed with 20 strikes.
At the prosecutor’s office of Southwestern part of Moscow Artur Rino
admitted that he had brutally killed a few dozen people with his
friend Pavel Skachevski.
The preliminary investigation cleared up that all 37 murders had
been committed in a short period of time – about 10 months. Rino
had confessed, "I hated Caucasians from my school-time. They came to
Moscow, united and suppressed Russians."
When speaking of skinheads and movements of racists in Russia,
as a rule the authorities content themselves with the promises and
announcements of correcting everything. The experts mention, this
issue doesn’t gain publicity, while the atmosphere of intolerance
is formed at this level. And when the intolerance is accompanied
with violence, and it gains a manifestation of brutality, there is
evidence that the whole society shows signs of sickness. And a late
echo may become problematic for the state, in this case for Russia.
