Business Petersburg published a case online about a Moscow surgeon from Ingushetia who was sent a patient from one of Russia’s far-right groups that had participated in the Manege Square riots in Moscow over the weekend.
The man had received an injury from clashes with police.
“It turned out that my patient had received a blow to the kidneys by a rubber baton. I went into the ward and introduced myself to the patient. The 21-year-old kid’s eyes rolled with surprise, [so] I asked him if he wasn’t opposed to being treated by a Caucasian [referring to people from the North and South Caucuses]. Excuses immediately followed such as ‘I was just passing by,’ ‘Doctor, don’t think that…’
“[The young man in a] hoodie and army boots with a shaved head… not a skinhead? Well, I decided to have him undergo Caucasian Therapy. Examining him tomorrow will be a urologist, an Armenian with a good accent.”
Despite the positive tone of the story published online, nationalist comments with threats made to the author were left below the piece.
