      Russian skinheads brutally attack TV producers and ministers 
     
     
      The Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation has taken 
the cases on recent incidents of racial attacks in Russia under its control. 
Groups of aggressive young men have recently attacked and beaten producer of 
the NTV network Elkhan Mirzoyev, a national of the Azerbaijan republic, and the 
Minister for Culture of the Kabardino-Balkaria republic, Zaur Tutov. The Office 
of the Prosecutor General demanded the qualification of the two cases be 
changed to racial hatred crimes. The case has been now re-filed on a different 
article of the Russian Federation Penal Code - "causing severe bodily damage on 
the base of inter-ethnic, racial, religious hatred or hostility." 

      The article stipulates up to five years in prison although no one has 
been arrested or detained on the above-mentioned cases yet. 

      NTV producer Elkhan Mirzoyev was attacked and beaten on Monday night in 
the Moscow metro. According to the victim, he was traveling in a train in the 
metro when several young men entered a carriage at one of the stations. All the 
men were drinking beer. One of them, with a very short haircut, dressed in 
camouflage uniform and black leather army boots, sat next to Mirzoyev (a 
national of Azerbaijan ) and started explaining him the reason why he should 
not be staying in Moscow any longer. 

      "We were talking for quite a time, the train made two stop during our 
conversation. To be more precise, he was trying to explain me why I should not 
live in Russia. Another guy poured beer down on my head. I hit him immediately 
and they all attacked me in an instant," Elkhan Mirzoyev said. 

      The men dragged Mirzoyev out of the train on the platform of one of the 
central stations and started beating him with beer bottles. The fight continued 
for about one minute. The assaulters returned to the train and left. One of the 
metro employees called an ambulance. Mirzoyev was hospitalized with numerous 
injuries, although the doctors said that his life was out of danger. 

      Russian skinheads attacked another public figure in Moscow on April 1st 
at about 9:30 p.m. Moscow time. The victim, Zaur Tutov, the Minister for 
Culture of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic , was attacked in the Eastern 
district of Moscow. Tutov and his wife were leaving the folk dance studio when 
several young men attacked him. The minister was hospitalized with jaw fracture 
and brain concussion. 

            Zaur Tutov's relatives say that he had been attacked by 
nationalists. The minister's daughter, who attended the studio the same night 
to have a class of folk dancing, said that the assaulters were screaming 
nationalist slogans during the attack. "There was an impression that they had 
been waiting for us to go out of the building," the girl said. The girl added 
that she and her friend left the studio earlier and saw a group of 15 or 20 
aggressive young men outside. The men, wielding broken beer bottles, rushed 
into the entrance hall of the studio following other dancers and used chairs in 
the fight. 

            The movement of Russian skinheads counts some 50,000 people. 
"Thousands of people suffer from manifestations of xenophobia in the country 
that defeated Nazism every year," writer Dmitry Lipskerov said. Neo-fascists 
killed 26 people last year in Russia , added he. The writer called upon the 
Russian deputies to inspect the Russian laws and prohibit the existence of 
Neo-fascist groups.
