2013 Biryulyovo riots
On 13 October 2013, riots in Biryulyovo Zapadnoye, a district in southern Moscow, erupted. The riots were in response to news that Egor Shcherbakov, a 25-year-old man who was killed on 10 October, had allegedly been attacked by a migrant who "might have come from Central Asia or the Caucasus".[2][3] The footage of Shcherbakov being stabbed was circulated by news agencies. The police announced a reward of 1 million rubles (~$30,975) for any information about the suspect.[3] On 14 October, the police arrested more than 1,200 migrant workers where the killer allegedly lived.[4] On 15 October, Orkhan Zeynalov, an Azerbaijani citizen, was arrested in Kolomna as a suspect in the killing of Shcherbakov.[5][6]
