In St. Petersburg, members of the "Russian Community" tried to attack a native of Azerbaijan

A conflict between a citizen of Azerbaijan and representatives of the ultra-right organization "Russian Community" occurred in St. Petersburg. The reason was the intervention of nationalists in a situation in which, as it seemed to them, a girl was being beaten.

As it turned out later, there was no violence - the Azerbaijanis just wanted to meet the girl. The incident ended with a public apology from a representative of the "Russian Community".

The "Russian Community" appeared in 2020 and became active in 2024 against the backdrop of anti-migrant sentiments. It is known for its actions against migrants, and according to some reports, it may be associated with Russian security forces.
