Madam Speaker. today. along with my colleague RON KLEIN (DFL). I am introducing bipartisan legislation to curb the rise of hate crime violence in Russia. Ukraine and Belarus. Acts of violence against Jews and other minorities are on the rise in the former Soviet Union. In Russia. xenophobic candidates are sweeping to power as statesponsored hate speech incites antiSemitism and violence. Widespread discrimination persists against religious and ethnic minorities. including Central Asians. Armenians. Roman Catholics and Evangelical Christians. In Ukraine. neoNazi crimes against Jews are on the rise. Just last night. a rabbi was severely beaten on a main street in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk.
