Yes. A great coastal city. My mistake in typing country.
Putin is intelligent enough to know that this sort of disorder can get wildly out of control.
And he is determined to stamp it out.
Contrast with the “leaders” of the West, who depend on and foster anarch-tyranny to maintain and increase their power.
Watch when anti-Israel / anti-Jewish protests become as violent in the West, and Western leaders do nothing but “both sides” equivocation.
Sure. And the cops did nothing. Everyone went home. Nobody killed at least.
Dagestan is majority Muslim, btw.
It is not regular Russians or the Russian government doing this, it is Muslims in Dagestan, a member of the Russian Federation. The problem in Dagestan is that it’s primarily Muslim.
It helps to know some details. Dagestan is a country which is part of the very large Russian Federation.
Facts about Russia’s republic of Dagestan
Here are some facts about Russia’s mainly Muslim republic of Dagestan, where waves of violence have erupted in the past.
* A mountainous territory in the eastern part of the North Caucasus, Dagestan is Russia’s most ethnically and linguistically varied region and home to at least 40 different ethnicities. A republic within the Russian Federation, Dagestan’s population is about 3.2 million, according to Russia’s official figures.
* For almost a decade until 2017, Russian security forces were battling an armed insurgency conducted by an array of Islamist militant groups in Dagestan, neighbouring Chechnya and Ingushetia.
* Islam came to present-day Russia by way of Dagestan’s ancient southern city of Derbent, when Arabs brought the faith at least 1,000 years ago. After being discouraged under communism, Islam in Dagestan has flourished. The republic hosts some 3,000 mosques, Islamic institutes and schools.
And how does “regular” Russia feel about this? Let’s take a look.
Putin Calls Meeting to Discuss Anti-Israel Mob in Dagestan
(Bloomberg) — Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with top government officials to address antisemitic protests in a predominantly Muslim region of the country, demonstrations the Kremlin blamed on western interference.
The president plans to discuss “the West’s attempts to use events in the Middle East to split Russian society,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to the Interfax news service. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, security council members and the heads of law enforcement agencies are among those who will attend the gathering in Moscow on Monday.
The talks are taking place after a Russian airport in the Dagestan region was temporarily shut down on Sunday when a mob forced its way onto the tarmac where, according to reports and images on social media, a plane from Israel had landed.
“Unknown people” infiltrated the airport in Makhachkala, the region’s capital, Russia’s federal aviation agency Rosaviatsia said in a Telegram post on Sunday evening. It took hours to restore order and clear the premises, the agency said. Rosaviatsia said the airport resumed operations as of 2 p.m. Moscow time on Monday, but that flights from Tel Aviv would be temporarily re-routed to other cities. The agency earlier said the regional hub would resume working on Oct. 31.

And.... since Ukraine has many actual Nazis:
Russia blames Ukraine for antisemitic riot at airport in Dagestan
Foreign ministry says Kyiv played ‘direct and key role’ after mob stormed planes in search of Israeli passengers
Russia has blamed Ukraine for the antisemitic riot in the mostly Muslim region of Dagestan on Sunday in which an angry mob stormed the airport in Makhachkala in search of Jewish passengers arriving from Israel.
Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, said on Monday that the riot was the result of a “provocation” orchestrated from outside Russia, with Ukraine playing a “direct and key role”.
Earlier in the day, Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, claimed the unrest was “the result of external intervention, including external information influence”.
Neither Zakharova or Peskov provided evidence to support their claims of outside interference.
Peskov also told reporters that Putin would hold a meeting with his top officials on Monday evening to discuss “western attempts to use events in the Middle East to split Russian society”.
Video posted to social media on Sunday showed hundreds of young men, some carrying Palestinian flags or placards denouncing Israel, storming on to the airport and climbing on to idling planes, attempting to break through the windows.

There was a one year TV series Best of the West 1981/1982.
In one scene the male star (Joel Higgins) stood up in a town meeting in the Old West and said “I thought I could find a place on this frontier where people would stand up for you, where a man could raise his young family and live a decent life with opportunity, where people would reach out to lend you a helping hand.”
Tom Ewell: “Well, then why did you choose to settle in our hell hole?”
True all over the place today.
Dagestan today is what Dearbornistan will soon become.
The Western Russian population is shrinking just like the European populations which Russia is attacking. Russians think they can throw these outskirt Muslim populations up to kill Europeans, and that will eliminate the Muslim threat against Russians at the same time.
Wait until Western Russians start getting overrun and killed by these orcs. They will beg for help, and the West will turn a deaf ear.
According to all the footage I’ve seen of Dearbornistan, back when it was a hot topic, It’s already Dagestan.
Was that before or after he claimed it was a set up by the West? Or before or after he invited leaders of terrorist states and terrorist organizations to meet in Moscow on friendly terms?
Because a lot of people on here are not good people, they are just macho about it. The people on the left who are not good people are just wimps.
Was thinking the same
>> It’s getting ugly on FR.
I’d say polemically informative
