		As the new leader of the Riazan administration of FSB, General Dukanov, declared this summer at his first press conference, organizations of a nationalistic character are constantly under the attention of law enforcement agencies and no illegal actions on their part have been observed.
		Riazan is a typical city of the Russian provinces in which barely half of the population falls into the category of the poor, unemployment is well above the official figure, and the aging of the population exceeds the Russia-wide level.
		For a Riazan which in the past was almost entirely Russian, this is a rather substantial number, the more so since the migrants have settled in the provincial capital and the number of temporarily registered residents who came to the city in search of work exceeds the number of long-term residents.

		A. Mel'nik explains the choice of Riazan with reference to a conference held on the region in 1993 at the University of Illinois and to the novel _Muzhiki i baby_ by Boris Mozhaev, which focused on Riazan.
		According to an OGPU document from 14 January 1930, Riazan okrug officials had no idea what to do in collectivizing their farms because Moscow oblast authorities had changed the okrug's control figures seven times.
		Since food was being rationed in Riazan as in other towns by 1929, reports such as these seem to indicate that these local personnel may have been starving, which in combination with alcohol probably contributed to their aggressive attitudes and the excesses they committed.
