Bold statement. I don't know how to attach a link using my phone, but if you Google an article by the independent about racism in russia..... you'll get the gist!

Selective perception.

If you live on/near a pig farm you don't smell pig sh*t...

Reminds me of Ahmadinejad saying that they don't have gay people in iran.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Just ridiculous really, Smertin is tremendously ignorant.
Russia should never be hosting the world cup but with FIFA in charge not surprising. Them investigating is as affective as Russia investigating themselves.
Russia, Qatar where next? Iran? North Korea? Zimbabwe?
