Face control of Yenisei fans
On May 25, 2017 in Krasnoyarsk at the Central Stadium at the match "Yenisei" - "Arsenal" fans of "Yenisei" allowed only people of "Slavic appearance" into their sector.
In the Fan Sector Krasnoyarsk movement group on the VKontakte social network, before the start of the game, requirements were published on who could go to the fan stand. The requirements stipulate that only fans in red and people of “only Slavic appearance” can enter the sector. After the request of journalists to comment on the situation, the group administrators deleted the post with the list.
A representative of the fan movement told reporters that such an unspoken rule in Krasnoyarsk "has been in effect for a long time." The fan added that he would not want “non-Slavs” to be seen among Yenisei fans in the photos from the match.
Stanislav Merkis, Yenisei football press officer, said about the fan movement, “They love the club and constantly attend our matches. They have their own ideology, but the official position of Yenisei is that everyone can root for the club!”
