#Русскаяобщина #Северныйчеловек 16 декабря в подмосковном посёлке Горки 15-летний подросток Тимофей пришёл в школу с ножом и совершил зверское нападение на охранника, а затем — на 10-летнего ученика школы. В результате атаки погиб ученик четвёртого класса Кобилджон Алиев — ребёнок из семьи матери-мигрантки из Таджикистана. Само преступление вызвало возмущение и осуждение многих, однако не меньшее потрясение вызвала реакция значительной части российского интернет-сообщества: в социальных сетях и комментариях появилось множество высказываний, оправдывающих или прямо поддерживающих нападавшего. О возможных мотивах убийства таджикского ребёнка, роли ксенофобии и радикальных настроений, а также о том кого в России в разные годы называли «внутренним врагом» — и почему объект ненависти сместился от выходцев с Северного Кавказа к мигрантам из Центральной Азии, в интервью Free Eurasia рассказывает руководитель Центра «Сова» Александр Верховски. Free Eurasia: https://freeeurasia.com/ru/aleksandr-verhovskij-o-tom-kak-v-rossii-menjalsja-obraz-vnutrennego-vraga/

Правозащитник Валерий Хатажуков о состоянии гражданского общества в Кабардино-Балкарии: «На Северном Кавказе нет никакого разделения властей! А судебная система абсолютно зависима. И нет реальной политической оппозиции. В этом корень всех проблем с нарушениями прав человека, с которыми мы сталкиваемся»
