Does it influence Russian politics?
Hundreds of men stormed an airport in Dagestan over the weekend, chanting antisemitic slogans and looking for Israelis arriving on a flight from Tel Aviv.
The violent disarray - labelled by some as a “pogrom” - happened in the North Caucasus region, where anger over the conflict in Gaza is running high.
Israel's ambassador to Moscow blamed Sunday night's unrest on extremist elements resulting from ″indoctrination″ in the Muslim-majority Republic of Dagestan. But he said overall there is no antisemitism “on an organised level” in Russia.
Dagestan has experienced secessionist unrest during the 20th and 21st centuries, with the Moscow-backed regime accused of "serious human rights violations". Palestinians, meanwhile, say they suffer under brutal Israeli occupation.
