According to them, their Moldovian manager (also ethnic minority, by the way) abused his authorities and forced them to work on different conditions than it was initially signed in the contract.

The Russian authorities' response has been shamefully muted for a long time and is not helped by legislation whereby unless an attack is explicitly race-related (i.e. whilst the attack is taking place the attacker shouts racist slogans, for example) then it doesn't necessarily count as a racist attack, just "violent crime". Willfully blind doesn't begin to describe it. Great article.
