A student from Africa was stabbed to death in the center of Yekaterinburg on the grounds of racial hatred.

The girlfriend of the deceased student reported that 32-year—old UrFU graduate student Francois Ndzhelassili, who came to study in Russia from Gabon, was killed on racial hatred: "As his friends said, two cattle came up, said: "Oh, look, a Negro, let's scratch him" - and stabbed. There was a fight on this ground, and he was stabbed in the armpit with a knife, and there was an artery. Francois was a very kind and calm person, it's such an international scandal to kill for the color of the skin" Russian Russian Francois studied at the university, read Pushkin's poems on camera and admired Russian literature, but was stabbed to death because of the "wrong" skin color.
