[Regnum] The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov , said that the whole world is laughing at the republic because of the footage at the Makhachkala airport, in which a participant in the recent riots is looking for Israelis in the gondola of an airplane engine. The head of the region admitted that at first he also smiled, but then he was overcome by fear.

“He looks in there and sees whether there are Jews there or not. The whole world is laughing at us, thanks to these scoundrels ,” the head of Dagestan emphasized at a conference on interethnic peace.

On the evening of October 29, an aggressive crowd burst into Makhachkala airport , looking for passengers on a flight from Tel Aviv. Protesters surrounded the planes on the runway and started riots and arson. A criminal case was opened into the incident . Melikov then noted that the unrest is beneficial to Russia’s enemies , who are trying to shake up the situation in the region. As it turned out later, the unrest was supervised by the administrators of one of the Telegram channels.

Melikov also stated that those who committed crimes would be brought to justice, but no one would “chase witches.” He noted that those who stood and watched, simply holding a Palestinian flag in their hands, would not respond. The Kremlin supported this position, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.

Kremlin supported Melikov’s position on punishing rioters

Establishing order in Dagestan is the prerogative of the head of the republic, Putin’s press secretary said today after Melikov’s statement that not all participants in the riots will be punished. The chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee called leniency towards rioters a mistake.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Dagestani athletes Khabib Nurmagomedov and Makhmud Magomedov called for leniency towards participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport that occurred on October 29 due to the report of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. Melikov, who on October 30 accused the rioters of trying to split Russian society and promised inevitable punishment, responded to the athletes’ calls.

On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. The criminal case of mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators. Security forces identified more than 150 riot participants and detained 83 of them, police reported.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov announced today the Kremlin’s support for Melikov’s position on the issue of punishing riot participants in Makhachkala. “This is the head of the region, this is his prerogative. He is establishing order in his region after such an incident,” TASS quoted him as saying. He replied that, “of course,” the Kremlin supports the head of the region on this issue, the publication said.

The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, clarified on November 1 that those rioters who sent police officers to the hospital, as well as those who spread false information and participated in pogroms, will answer to the law. “Someone must answer for this. And those who disrupted the airport’s activities for a day. <...> Let’s let those who quietly smashed shop windows, pulled out souvenirs, products, or those who dismantled the paving stones, answer <.. .> probably in order to throw these stones at employees,” RBC quoted him as saying. At the same time, according to the head of the region, those who “simply stood with the Palestinian flag” will not be punished, according to the publication dated November 1.

“The state is making a huge, if not fatal, mistake by showing unreasonable “humanism”/weakness towards the Dagestani riot participants,” Kirill Kabanov, head of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, said today in his Telegram channel . In his opinion, the implementation of the call “not to ruin lives” and impunity could lead to larger-scale unrest. “Russian law should apply equally strictly both here and there,” he wrote.
