Russian border guards forced Tajik migrants to clean up trash at the border upon entering the country.
A video has surfaced online showing a group of migrants cleaning up trash. Nearby, several individuals in military uniforms are present.
The video’s author claims that Russian border guards made Tajik migrants first clean the area of trash before allowing them to enter Russia.
It is unclear when this footage was recorded. However, such behavior by Russian border guards has sparked outrage among Tajik social media users.
“Who was a Tajik — who has become…” one user comments under the video.
Another user, hinting at the 72-year-old President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, writes: “This humiliation is beyond measure. Do our authorities even think about this? The people are suffering, while they and their relatives are living in comfort, without a care for the people.”
Every day, the situation for Tajik migrants in Russia worsens, raising serious concerns among this vulnerable group.
Critics note that despite the friendly relations between Emomali Rahmon and Vladimir Putin, it is Tajik migrants who frequently face pressure and discrimination in Russia.
