Russian neo-Nazis are again targeting a Jewish community in the northwestern part of the country, according to reports from Jewish organizations. Last week, a car owned by the security chief of Borovichi’s synagogue was set on fire and swastikas were drawn on the cars of two local Jewish leaders who were celebrating Passover inside the synagogue. In the past two years, neo-Nazis have launched several campaigns against the city’s Jewish community.
