Pogroms? In Russia? [1]

Betcha just thought it was the airport in bumfuck Russia. Nope! From The Bulwark (link at the bottom):
THE AIRPORT ATTACK in Makhachkala was only one of several frightening incidents of its kind. Also in Dagestan, in the city of Khasavyurt, a stone-throwing mob attacked a hotel after reports that it was housing refugees from Israel. After the rioters were persuaded to disperse, management put up a “No Jews allowed” sign.
And we have this:
Meanwhile, in Nalchik, in the nearby “autonomous republic” of Kabardino-Balkaria, a Jewish cultural center under construction was set on fire with burning tires tossed onto the construction site, and “Death to Yahoods” (from the Arabic word for “Jew”) was scrawled in Russian on the wall around the site. And in Cherkessk, capital of the republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, a pro-Palestinian rally 200 to 500 strong in front of the government building included demands not only that Israeli visitors be barred from the republic, but that its current Jewish residents (estimated at under thirty, out of a total population of less than half a million) be expelled.
The whole thing is well worth reading. You get to find out about a little semi-autonomous dictator you probably never heard of.
