The riots were sparked when a man of Azerbaijani appearance stabbed to death ethnic Russian Yegor Shcherbakov in the Biryulyovo district of Moscow last Thursday as he was out walking with his girlfriend.
Russian authorities plan to hold operation ‘Signal’ every Friday, raiding apartment buildings and workplaces known to be frequented by immigrants across the city, particularly those from Azerbaijan and the Caucasus region.
The enormous nature of the task will require “the entire apparatus of the Central Office of Main Control, the office of Internal Control of Administrative Districts, private security companies and voluntary civil guards” Mr Yakunin said.
Azerbaijani nationalist group the “Karabakh Liberation Organisation’ have threatened retaliation against ethnic Russians living in Azerbaijan.
According to Azerbaijani news portal “Haqqin.az”, the group wrote to the Russian Embassy in Baku stating that “If attacks on Azerbaijanis” in Russia do not end, then “adequate measures” will be taken against Russians living in Azerbaijan.
Their statement followed the release of footage which appears to show handcuffed Azerbaijani citizen Orkhan Zeynalov being assaulted by police officers before being transferred to pre-trial detention face down in a police helicopter with a bag over his head.
Police appear to punch, kick and strike a bruised and bloody Mr Zeynalov with police batons in full view of the camera crew, who are allowed to accompany the suspect as he travels under an officer’s feet lying in the bottom of a police van, then in a police helicopter with a bag over his head.
Mr Zeynalov was arrested on Tuesday, accused of Yegor Shcherbakov’s murder. In the video police appear to try to force Mr Zeynalov into confessing to the camera as he lies in the grass. At a Moscow court hearing on Thursday he told a judge police had arrested the wrong man. Police later justified their actions by saying he had resisted arrest.
Yegor Shcherbakov’s murder caused mass protests against non-Slavic immigrants in Biryulyovo district, which quickly turned violent. Participants broke into a local vegetable warehouse where many immigrants work, trashing produce and brawling with police on the streets outside.
Protesters blame immigrants for crime in the area and believe they undercut the pay of Russian employees by working illegally.
Moscow based Azerbaijani film-maker and one time Presidential hopeful Rustam Ibragimbekov said immigrants were in a “difficult situation”.
