An environmentalist was murdered yesterday, when a group of environmental activists were attacked by neo-Nazis in Siberia. The activists were protesting outside the Angarsk Electrolysis Chemical Plant near Lake Baikal when the attack occurred.
The twenty one environmental activists were set upon by fifteen mask wearers shouting neo-Nazis slogans. The attackers beat the protestors and attempted to burn their tents. Ilya Borodaenko, 21, died of head wounds, whilst four others are in a critical condition in intensive care.
Police have apprehended eight of the fifteen attackers, who are thought to be linked to a group that has also carried out attacks on traveller communities. The Russian government described the attack as a ‘pogrom’.
