[lbo-talk] Russia, anti-Semitism

[Chris Doss]

Hi, last post. A year or so ago an (ethnic Russian) woman was driving down 
one of the Ring Roads around Moscow and saw sign saying "Death to the Jew!" 
by the roadside. Outraged, she stopped the care, went to take the sign down. 
Unfortunately, somebody had rigged the sign with explosives and she lost an 
eye. Putin visited her in the hospital and gave her the Hero of Russia award 
on TV.
