Racism in Russia, danger looms for workers
Konstantin Romodanovsky, director of the Federal Migration Service of Russia, has recently said the country shouldn't allow ethnic minorities to outnumber "native Russians" in any neighborhood.
"I consider that settlements of the 'Chinatown' type would be unacceptable for Russia, and I can assure you that there will be no such settlements," he said.
He added that populations of immigrants should be limited to 17-20% in each neighborhood.
This is a very dangerous step in the direction of mass deportations, or worse.
This comes one day after the government banned immigrants from selling in public markets.
And just last month, President Putin ordered his lackey's to take steps to decrease the employment of foreign born workers.
Most of the immigrant workers come from countries that belonged to the Soviet Union. The USSR was a united bloc of socialist republics, made up of several ethnicities. The rights of ethnic minorities were enshrined in law.
Look what the great counter-revolution that the imperialists applauded has brought! Yay capitalism!

Great Russian nationalism, never except for the immediate period after the Bolshevik Revolution, died in Russia.
Putin again slaps the face, of the communists, who came before him.

You might tell that to the millions of Ukrainians, starved to death in 1932-3, to Crimean Tatars, Chechens and dozens of other nations deported to Siberia and Kazakstan in the 1930's and the 1940's....
When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, he was welcomed as a liberator by all nations of the Soviet Union except the Russians (and even among Russians, 2 millions joined Vlasov's Army)...
Russia under Putin is a pure Nazi state, but it's still a paradise compared to Russia under Communism...

Sonia,
that is merely a urban legend with no source. If you want to talk about starvation in Russia, look at what it was like before socialism. Starvations were commonplace. Hell, the whole reason the bolshevik revolution was successful was because the workers were ticked that they had no food on their plates and the interim government continued to fight the war. Within a decade, war torn russia was up the production level of pre-war Russia and within two decades, Russia was an industrialized world power moving forward while every other nation was in a depression.

Leftyhenry,
Russia was an industrialized world power moving forward
Yeah, moving forward (and very fast) towards the ground where it finally crashed in 1991...
There was a popular joke in the 80's in Moscow: 'Why is there so little food in Russia ?', 'Because the tsar only stocked enough food for 70 years...'. Never was a joke closer to reality than this one. Communism is like a vampire slowly drinking the blood of its host nation. But one day, there is no more blood and the system crashes down.
Russia had a higher economic growth in 1913 than United States had at the time. If there was no Communism, Russia's economy today would be double that of the United States...
I don't expect you do believe me. I didn't believe it myself for a very long time.
Csc,
I am linking to your blog, even though I don't agree with many things you wrote...

I doubt Russia had higher growth than the US in 1913. What I do know is that it had much higher growth during socialism. Russia's collapse had little to do with the failure of socialism and a lot to do with how opportunist and capitalist it became. My grandfather who traveled to the USSR and later Russia frequently many times said he saw little difference in the system after the collapse. Such a collapse was inevitable. The US had a 150 year head start over barren Russia.
