Four Caucasians wounded in Moscow subway assault: police

MOSCOW : Four people originating from the Caucasus were injured in the Moscow subway late Saturday, including one severely, after they were assaulted by a group of 20 to 50 men in a subway car, police said.

The assailants, who were not identified, fled when the car stopped at the northern Dynamo subway station, Moscow police spokesman Alexander Matonin told the Interfax news agency.

The four Caucasians were rushed to hospital.

Eyewitnesses told Interfax the assailants boarded the car and started attacking the Caucasians while shouting "Now you pay for the terrorist attacks!"

Chechen refugee brutally murdered in Ingushetia

Ruslan Isayev, North Caucasus - An unprecedented and brutal murder recently took place in Ingushetia. The victim, Magomed-Emin Dibirov, was a construction worker living in the Tanzila camp in Nazran and father of ten children. He disappeared a few days ago and after a brief search by relatives and neighbors, they discovered his badly mutilated body three hundred meters from the camp.

The condition of the body was horrible to behold: both eyes were missing, throat slit, ears and lips cut off, his stomach cut open, and all tendons on arms and legs had been severed.

Russian military helicopters strafe West Chechen village

Ruslan Isayev, North Caucasus - This morning three Russian military helicopters straffed the Kulary village in the Achkhoi-Martanovsky district of Western Chechnya.

For no apparent reason it seems, they suddenly attacked the western part of the village. According to the Interior Ministry of the Chechen Republic, two local villagers were injured, three cows killed, and four houses slightly damaged.

1. In contemporary English

that sounds rather odd! Perhaps we need another word for "people from the Caucasus region."

[skooooo]

3. What do "Causcasians" look like??

They must look different from the average Russian. Russia is a very racist nation.

4. Right.

in the minds of Russist skinheads, Caucasians--people from the Caucasus, north or south--& Central Asians are basically "niggers" and beat down on sight. Just think some meld between rural Mississippi & the Nuremberg rallies for the mindset at work there.

The various 'Caucasian' nationalities are often darker than Slavs, so they're called "blacks". Chechens & Ingush, the targets of choice for roving bands of 'patriots', are often lighter skinned than Russians, but nobody ever rightly said that racist nazis make sense on these things..
