Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, Bastrykin called Central Asian migrants with Russian passports “so-called Russians” and stated that “as many as possible” of them should be sent to war in Ukraine. It was largely at Bastrykin's instigation that the fascist term "ethnic criminal groups" was thrown into the political lexicon. At the same time, the head of the Investigative Committee has a "special love" for the Azerbaijani diaspora in Russia.
The YouTube channel VMedia in its new video talks about how one of the main organizers and conductors of ethnically motivated repressions in Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia is the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqBytd-iEHE
The film cites an article on Day.az by political scientist Fuad Akhundov, who notes that the head of the Investigative Committee openly demonstrates his cave-like hostility towards “migrants” and has long been behind the Kremlin’s “anti-migrant” policy.
For example, speaking at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, Bastrykin called Central Asian migrants with Russian passports “so-called Russians” and stated that “as many as possible” of them should be sent to war in Ukraine.
It was largely at Bastrykin's instigation that the fascist term "ethnic criminal groups" was thrown into the political lexicon. At the same time, the head of the Investigative Committee has a "special love" for the Azerbaijani diaspora in Russia.
Thus, in 2023, at his instigation, Russian security forces, under the cover of the official version of searching for "draft dodgers", staged "tough raids" on Azerbaijani weddings in Russian cities. In 2024, there was a provocation with a video of students of the Moscow Finance and Law University МФЮА "leaked" to the Internet. In 2021, a shocking incident occurred in Novosibirsk - a traffic inspector killed the 19th Vekil Abdullayev with a shot to the head while checking a car on the road. And recently a new incident followed, this time in Yekaterinburg - with five dead, fifty detained and large-scale consequences for bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and Russia...В фильме также говорится о хамских заявлениях «по теме» вице-спикера Госдумы РФ Петра Толстого, который уже не первый раз делает подобные заявления.
“Does Moscow really believe that it is possible to maintain friendly relations with a country where the head of the Investigative Committee is Bastrykin and the vice-speaker is Pyotr Tolstoy?” VMedia quotes an article on Day.az.
