In Murmansk they burned the car of the head of the Jewish community

In Murmansk, on Sunday night, they burned the car of the head of the Jewish community of the city of Ilya Raskin. It is reported by "New Gazeta".

Land Rover Raskin was parked in the courtyard of his house in the city center. Firefighters are sure that the cause of the incident was arson. Although the car has a diesel engine, there was a strong smell of gasoline, and a container from fuel was lying nearby.

As Razkin noted, the time for the crime was chosen with a hint. The car was set on fire exactly at midnight in Orthodox Christmas.

“The Jewish community considers such an act not only as an act of vandalism and hooliganism, but also as a focused anti -Semitic extremist action aimed at inciting interethnic and inter -religious enmity, a manifestation of terry anti -Semitism, intimidating the interests of the Jewish community,” wrote Raskin. He submitted applications to the FSB and the prosecutor's office.

According to the head of the community, he still has not yet encountered direct threats to his address or address of the organization, but now he is seriously afraid for the safety of his children and relatives.

Earlier on the walls of the Jewish communal center, unknown people left graffiti in the form of a swastika. The police failed to find the suspects.

In October 2016, in Moscow , an attack on the synagogue , located in Bolshaya Spasoglinishchevsky Lane, was attacked. The man who had a cancer with a combustible liquid demanded a meeting with the main rabbi, but the guard did not allow him inside. Then he opened shooting from a traumatic pistol, injuring the guard and driver of one of the parishioners. After that, the visitor tried to set himself on fire. Other guards knocked him down, detained and handed over to the police.

The guard was hospitalized with wounds in the chest and head. The wounded driver did not contact medical help.

The attacker was 40-year-old Ivan Lebedev, a resident of the capital's suburbs Korolev, who works as an accompanist of the Department of Orthodox Conducting of the Orthodox Holy Tikhon Humanitarian University. When asked by Life, why Lebedev attacked, he replied: "In Rus'." Since 2010, Lebedev was registered with a psycho -dispensary, and doctors evaluate his condition as unstable.

On the fact of the wound of the guard of the Moscow Choral Synagogue, the case was opened under part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism with resistance to a person who protects public order up to seven years of colony).
