After a pogrom in Biryulyov, police are checking passer-bys and a fruit and vegetable base with the help of APCs
Policemen are maintaining order after mass riots in the West Biryulyovo district of Moscow. According to the police, around 300 OMON officers are on the streets, checking passersby’s documents, and detaining people of non-Slavic appearance.
Meanwhile, the main focus of these events is the vegetable base¹, whose closing was demanded by protestors. It is already not in operation, as they are keeping order there.
According to some sources, the police are checking the premises with the help of APCs. Operatives in the capital are also trying to find out who owns a vehicle that was found during the raid in the fruit and vegetable base in Biryulyovo.
The police specified that several million roubles lay inside the car, along with three non-lethal² pistols, two knives and a baseball bat, Interfax reports.
There are grounds to assume that unrest in Moscow can recommence. On Tuesday, October 15th, Muslims will mark their Kurban-Bayram holiday. It is possible that nationalists will try to spoil the holiday.
