The State Duma has named the main danger of fight clubs for migrants

This is very dangerous, since the Federal Agency for Nationalities conducted a survey among migrants, which showed that half or more than half of migrants do not intend to comply with Russian laws, they want to live according to their own ethnic and religious principles. We are really dealing with a parallel state, which is forming its own parallel, if not army, then combat units , - said Matveyev.

The deputy called for banning such clubs and specified that the state could do so. According to him, hand-to-hand combat skills are serious weapons that can be used for illegal purposes.

Migration is an environment where a fairly serious extremist threat comes from, which the heads of Russian special services have openly spoken about. And there is some evidence of this. Of course, there are concerns related to the large network of fight clubs for migrants. And it doesn’t matter whether they are legal or not , - Matveyev added.

Earlier, Kirill Kabanov, a member of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, said that reducing the migration flow would help get rid of underground organized crime groups in Russia. According to him, there could be up to 500 such establishments operating in Moscow now, and closing them down would require significant resources.
