FSB Takes Record of Stavropol Students
Actions of unprecedented security were taken in southern Russia’s Stavropol yesterday. All central parks were closed, no entertainment centers will work after midnight and rectors of universities will submit to enforcement authorities the lists of all students (specifying their whereabouts). In Stavropol, they fear the massacre may begin today, as the students killed at night from Saturday to Sunday will be buried exactly June 5, 2007.
Pavel Chadin was of Tyumen origin, but he was fond of Stavropol, decided to study there and entered the North Caucasus Engineering University past year. Pavel and Dmitry Blokhin were real friends.
“That night, they agreed to stay overnight at Pasha’s,” Pavel’s cousin Boris Konovalov said. “I called up to the flat but nobody answered. I called to Pavel’s cell phone at around 2:00 a.m., but the phone was answered by a man, a police officer. He said Pasha was killed. I asked how it happened. He said Pasha and Dima were walking with some unidentified people, peacefully talking with them. Then, those two jacked out the knives...”
Dmitry Blokhin and Pavel Chadin will be laid to rest today, at 12:00. Dmitry will be buried in Stavropol and Pavel’s grave will be in Blagodarny, where his relatives are living. The Slavic organizations of Stavropol will attempt to rally on the day of burial and the city’s authorities will endeavor to prevent them. In today’s Stavropol, the chances are strong that the rally will turn into a brawl between hundreds of Caucasus migrants and local Russians.
The murder of two students scared the city, halving the night strollers and emptying venues of the Caucasians. The rumors are that some 400 arrived from Chechnya and the residents speak about shooting and knifing that happened in downtown Stavropol past night.
The authorities had been silent since May 24, when the Caucasians clashed with the Slavs. But the silence was broken yesterday. The prosecutors said investigators found no xenophobia motive neither in the scuffle of May 24 nor in killing of students.
