On December 15, during the measures undertaken to prevent the clashes between racist hooligans and ethnic minorities, Russian police detained more than 1000 people.
Clashes were registered between Slavic Russians and people from the Caucasus region in different parts of the Russian capital. The most cruel clashes took place at the square next to Kievsky station.
