Goes both ways. There are also plenty of Russian gangs who fight the immigration “expansion” from the mentioned and a few other countries because it is being viewed as “taking jobs and polluting the culture”. Some of the gangs do embrace the ideology of Russian/Slavic race being superior. Often the hatred is based purely on looks and languages spoken – middle eastern and asian.

I don’t think this will ever touch the foreign pilots coming to Russia. Aviation is viewed as high-tech industry, plus people will be coming on temporary contracts to reduce the shortage and immediately help Russian airlines to grow. It is the guys who dig trenches or sell things at flee markets that get beat up all the time.
