A roundup on ethnicity, labor migration and human rights in Russia: IZO cites death statistics for Tajik labor migrants in Moscow. Moscow Through Brown Eyes writes about an attack on Stanley Robinson, an 18-year-old African-American student in Volgograd – here [1] and here [2]. Window on Eurasia writes about a strike by Tajik migrant workers [3] in Yekaterinburg; labor emigration [4] of “highly trained Russians” out of Russia; and statements by Russian human rights activists [5] on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Eternal Remont wonders [6] if a Chechen fugitive accused of killing Anna Politkovskaya can “get a fair trial in Russia.”
