Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city:
- Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children

- Chanted “death to Ukrainians”
- Attacked local residents
Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom.
