‘They’re flooding the city’: Russia’s Investigative Committee head unleashes racist tirade while criticizing detective in St. Petersburg

Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia's Federal Investigative Committee, has had enough. He's had enough of youngsters and enough of "shoving" by Asians, Kyrgyz, and Tajiks, and now he's lost his patience with all the people from Krasnodar "flooding" into St. Petersburg. Specifically, Bastrykin's latest outburst was directed at Vladislav Megrelov, a 26-year-old detective based in the town of Vsevolozhsk, outside Petersburg. In a virtual meeting on October 13, the Investigative Committee's director called for Megrelov's head, saying he should be fired for supposedly bungling a case. The detective's colleagues have reportedly vowed to resign in protest if the agency follows through on Bastrykin's threats to fire him.
