Ethnicity.

This is coolbert:

More Russian ethnic violence.

This is the kinda stuff that must have driven the communists to wonder what they have done. Trying to bring the "nationalities" together under the rubric of international solidarity with the "masses", or some such stuff.

Rather than "bringing people together", mixing the groups in the Red Army seems to have only created a worse situation. Folks that ordinarily would not have had contact with one another were forced to. With bad consequences.

Was always under the carpet while the communists were in power. Manifested itself most virulently in the Red Army.

Is ongoing and maybe now even more pervasive.

Russians have a big mess on their hands.
