Slight inaccuracy in the story I just sent:

A series of brutal attacks against foreigners have rocked Moscow and the surrounding regions over the past months. While Sukharevsky denies involvement in any violence or threats, in the days before Hitler's birthday foreign embassies received anonymous emails demanding all 'non-Russians' leave or face certain death. Ethnic minorities are attacked with increasing regularity, and last month a Jewish woman lost an eye when she tried to take down an anti-semitic sign. It had been booby-trapped and blew up in her face. A day later a rabbi's son was beaten in Moscow and signs saying 'Death to Jews' appeared in Voronezh, a city south of Moscow.

The woman, I believe, was not Jewish. She was ethnic Russian.
