SIBERIA - Vigilantes Vow to Punish Prostitutes in Buryatia for 'Bringing Shame' to Culture

A group of vigilantes in Russia's east Siberian republic of Buryatia has launched a campaign to punish prostitutes for “bringing shame to their people,” posting a video to YouTube that shows young women suspected of offering sex for money being tormented. The video, purportedly published by a youth movement that advocates the “development and renewal of Buryat culture,” opens with blaring rap music and the declaration: “We, the youth of Buryatia, are outraged over the decline of moral values and total destruction of Buryatia's culture.” “The vastness of the Internet is boiling over with whores from Buryatia. We will visit each one,” the narrator of the video says before he is shown picking out an alleged prostitute named Lina in the capital city Ulan-Ude.
The video shows the narrator contact the young woman, inquire about her hourly rate and then set up a meeting. Once at her home, the young woman is shown being shoved to the floor before having a bucket of green paint poured over her head, as the narrator asks: “Aren't you ashamed?”
