We need come down on these really hard, there is no place for it in Russia today. We need set an example both internally and externally, as there are a few countries that are supporting and glorifying these types of activities.

This is another by-product of Western values. Russia needs to do by far, far more. It has to come down really hard on such groups. And do it proactively, not wait until something bad happen. Russia needs to reach out to the various non-Russian communities in all cities, particularly Moscow, and work with them to identify the types of things that can help. They are also more likely to know what is happening in the community. And Russia needs to refocus its education, not only in schools, but in the workplace and within the civil society. Russian authorities need to check into their hiring practices to insure that more minorities are hired in positions that deal with such problems, from police and social workers, from health workers to community organizers. These problems need to involve more community outreach, the community of victims, as well as the communities where the perpetrators are most likely to come from. It is in everybody's interest not to let such disease take root.
