Chief Rabbi Lazar: Russia not facing neo-Nazis

The Jerusalem Post

Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar said Sunday that not enough was being done to deal with neo-Nazi groups in the country, Israel Radio reported.

The rabbi’s comments came a day after the murder of a Jewish teacher in St. Petersburg. The stab wounds on Dmitriy Nikulinskiy’s body, noted Lazar, prove that his killing was an anti-Semitic attack.

St. Petersburg has a long history of terror-related murders, but this is the first time in the last few years that a Jew was murdered for this reason, added the rabbi.
