Attacks on Africans in Moscow
Since the beginning of 2010, there have been at least 13 attacks on black people in Moscow. In mid-March 2010, a diplomat from Sierra Lyon and his driver, also black, were attacked near the Mayakovskaya metro station. In the underground passage, the men encountered a group of young people, about 15 people, who, seeing the Africans, began to shout loudly, and then began to strike. Luckily, the victims managed to escape. Both received minor injuries.
