  3. So basically Putin knew he's people are going to die under an ISIS attack. He let's them, because of incompetency of their FSB, then takes revenge on a totally different Muslim nation, who have nothing to do with Islamism. How is going a torture of a handful going to outweigh 100 dead disbelievers in the eyes of radicals? Is Putin provoking them!?

  7. I feel for these people. They should be left in peace. Perhaps Putin now feels like a master of retribution which is obscene after what was done to Syria.Many cowering innocents lost their lives then as they will do to eternity unless the joy of peace decends and the strange power of love casts a spell. All violence provokes is hatred and pain

  14. discrimination is not new in russia ? where is the evidence provided ,if it kept going on there would have been many civil wars here ,why are they living peacefully here then ?why does the west have a problem with it ? at least provide evidence when you make accusations .but then what more can be expected from france who are repeatedly getting their as2es kicked by russia

  15. " Let's pull out victim cards". Dont fall for this age old trick of e'zlam and n'u'zlim. Even after Russia and Putin supported ez'lam,h'amas and Palestine. Ans also supportes them in un. This is gift they give to russia..

  19. You can't say that for a fact because one
    1. These interviews were conducted in Tajikistan
    2. These persons are talking from their own opinions.

  20. Yup this is #2 reason why Budanov paid for this. Sowing discord between ethnicities in Russia is a smart move by the Ukrainians.

  24. Putin is a reasonable man. I'm sure He will not harm innocent Tajics living in Russia and the country Tajikistan will be living in peace with the Russian people.

  25. This isn't anything new in Russia , some people might remember the neo-nahtzeee Russians ending Dhagestani and other migrants and publishing the videos in the 2000s.And they wouldn't ask their government any sensible questions either. Nationalism and ultra-nationalism has been directed towards groups like Wagner, which Russia didn't admit to for a long time.
    They also use the special crazy nationalists as a means of controlled opposition to break protests and crowds and making it look like it's civilians fighting for their ideas, while the police sits on the side and can't be blamed for the violence.
    I don't know how decent, normal Russians manage to share the same space with all the violent ones, but I guess they have no choice.

  31. Russia needs these workers. Their elites will not opt for workers from other countries because they would need to pay them more – less profit for the elites. So it's better to accept it.

  32. Strange , I’m a westerner living in Russia and I’ve never ever seen any discrimination towards anyone ever
    I guess more media BS
