Dagestan: How widespread is antisemitism in Russia?
Summary by Ground News
Rioters stormed Dagestan's Makhachkala airport on Sunday, chanting antisemitic slogans. The angry mob was searching for Jews and people with Israeli passports. 60 individuals were arrested, 20 people injured, two of them seriously. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the events had been instigated in no small part from Ukrainian territory.
Russia accuses Kiev and the West of provoking the unrest in Dagestan, where they speak of Russian anti-Semitism. But the reasons why the riots could take place lie much deeper.
