Skinheads attacked punks in Chelyabinsk

On June 28, 2007, at about 18:30 in Chelyabinsk, in the area of ​​the Ural dumplings restaurant, skinheads attacked punks. The number of skinheads significantly outnumbered their opponents.

Passers-by did not interfere with what was happening. When the police arrived, the attackers did not run away, but began to calmly talk with law enforcement officers.

The Tsentralny district police department described the incident as a local conflict. And they noted that the attackers most likely will not suffer any punishment, since the victims refuse to pursue the case.

According to media reports, such incidents happen regularly in the center of Chelyabinsk. Several dozen skinheads “patrol” the territory from the Eaglet monument to SUSU. Skinheads hunt down informals and beat them.
