Those Damn Russians

September 3, 2012

Youth-led organizations in Russia forcefully take justice into their own hands

"Against the background of nation-wide campaigns against pedophilia and drug abuse, more and more unofficial “militias” are popping up in Russia, interpreting statements made by officials for themselves and attempting to solve social problems with their fists. The attitudes of society towards these Robin Hood sqauds are mixed."

"They also find pedophiles [sic] through the Internet, registering accounts on dating sites as children. If they are solicited for sex on the basis of these under-aged profiles, they arrange a meeting. At the agreed-upon meeting place, several members approach to the supposed pedophile and the meeting often ends with a beating. “The important standard of our work lies in the selection of clients- any kind of instigation is ruled out. The man has to find a child and suggest sex all by himself,” Daniil explains."
