Pogrom Carried Out at Moscow Kosher Supermarket
FJC.ru ^ | July 5, 2005

MOSCOW, Russia - This week, one of the largest kosher supermarkets in Moscow suffered a pogrom. Located on Trifonovskaya Street, just several minutes walking from the Marina Roscha Community Center, this is the only kosher food store in Moscow that is supervised by the Russian Kashrut Department of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia.

Two young men wearing gas-masks aggressively entered the kosher supermarket shortly before it was to close, spraying an unidentified gas and bashing the sale goods of the store's shelves and displays. According to Rabbi Uri Spasskiy, who happened to be in the supermarket at the time of the pogrom, one of the men was holding a model of a Kalashnikov machine-gun in his hands.

The store managers and Jewish community officials immediately reported the incident to law enforcement agencies. The police have no doubt over the anti-Semitic nature of this violent episode, since the attackers shouted anti-Semitic slogans, glorifying Hitler, throughout the entire incident.

Alexander Boroda, the Chairman of the Board for the FJC Russia, publicly spoke about the attack on the 'Echo Moskvy' radio station. He felt that these persons were staff members of a nearby food store. He stated that these young men had visited the kosher store on two separate occasions. The first time, they came without masks, a fact that has helped the store's personnel to recognize the aggressors. While they wore masks the second time, the staff were still able to recognize them. "These persons were recognized and will be delivered to the police. One of them even has an SS tattoo on his body," explained Alexander Boroda.

Since the attack lacked the approval of the authorities, it was not a Pogrom.
This was anti-Semitic vandalism.

Also very stupid criminals, to visit the store to case it out, and then return with masks, but not bothering to cover distinctive tattoos.

Yes, I understand.

The devil harvests souls all over the world and unfortunately, he finds them abundantly. The neo-nazis are just another form of his wicked harvest.

Maybe isolated incident would be a much better choice.
