On 13 October 2013, riots in Biryulyovo, a district in southern Moscow, erupted. The riots were in response to news that Egor Shcherbakov, a 25-year-old man who was killed on 10 October, had allegedly been attacked by a migrant who "might have come from Central Asia or the Caucasus".[3][4] The footage of Shcherbakov being stabbed was circulated by news agencies.

On 12 October, some 40 people had gathered to demand justice.[1] The police announced a reward of 1 million rubles (~$30,975) for any information about the suspect.[4]

On 13 October, a larger group of protesters gathered, and violence broke out as a "mixed crowd of nationalists and locals" attacked properties owned by immigrants.[1] Police detained nearly 400 involved in the action.[1]

On 14 October, the police arrested more than 1,200 migrant workers where the killer allegedly lived.[5]

On 15 October, Orkhan Zeynalov, an Azerbaijani citizen, was arrested in Kolomna as a suspect in the killing of Shcherbakov.[6][7]
