Alexander Andriyanov, a resident of Moscow, announced on his Vkontakte page that he had created the "Migrants lives matter" movement to provide moral support to migrants.
This was reported by Moskovsky Komsomolets, Gadin.Net reports quoting the Telegraph.
He called on Russians living in Moscow to think about the lives of foreigners, to thank them for cleaning the streets, building houses and courier services. A. Andriyanov made a video showing a migrant in a work gown kneeling and wiping his shoes, wearing a T-shirt with the logo of the movement.
Member of the Russian Federation Council Alexei Pushkov did not like Andriyanov's initiative. Commenting on the incident, Pushkov said that such "thoughtless imitations of American fashion" are characteristic of "secondary and dependent" people.
"I am sure that this gesture will remain a strange exception, because there is nothing here but a quoted pose and a moral void," the senator wrote in his Telegram channel.
