StopHam or provocation?

Everyone has probably already seen the video with the participation of activists of the StopHam movement and members of the Mingaev family. I watched this video a couple of days ago and was sure that this video would become a bestseller. The guy who shouted the loudest in the video, Islam Mingaev, did what the “Stopkhamovites” started all this for, they have one goal - to organize a provocation and film it on video, preferably so that they hit their faces, swear and threaten. Islam helped them organize all this well, and as a bonus they shouted “I’ll kill you,” which is what else is needed for a large number of views on YouTube and heated discussion on blogs.

Today the incident continued - “The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow opened a criminal case under the article hooliganism in connection with the incident at the Evropeisky shopping center. Based on this fact, a criminal case was opened at the Dorogomilovo police station under Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “hooliganism.” , - reported the press service of the capital's police department. However, it is not yet clear which side is considered a suspect in the case - activists of the StopHam movement or the Mingaev side.

I would like to add that in general, practically nothing surprising happened for the “StopHam” actions; if you look at other videos of the movement, you can see that they have a wealth of experience in organizing this kind of provocative showdown, so to speak, this is their specialty. I can even assume that the activists deliberately chose a “victim”, knowing who was driving and whose car, counting on a similar reaction and wide resonance on the Internet.

It’s a shame that now, because of this incident, or more precisely because Islam Mingaev succumbed to the arranged provocation, another wave of anti-Chechen rhetoric has risen. Now, unfortunately, it has become fashionable in the media to “kill” Chechens, and indeed all Caucasians and non-Russians in general, this is not a good trend.
