On June 13 this year a mass brawl takes place between the residents of the village Chemodanovka and the local Roma. One Rusin is dead in the fight. The next day the Russians held a massive protest. Two days later they start burning Romani houses.
After this, a group of about 650 to 900 Roma (different sources transmit different) living in the area of Chemodanovka and the nearby village of Lopatki, the Penza region to the east of Moscow, have been placed on a bus and resettled in the Volgograd region about 500 km from the former residence . In another variant of the story, the Roma themselves climb a bus and preventively leave.
The authorities said that the Roma diaspora in the Volgograd region agreed to give shelter to the Roma from Chemodanovka, adding that the authorities in the village would consider how it was at all allowed Roma to make a settlement in their surroundings.
One of the speculations is that the fight was caused because the locals had a problem with sexual harassment by the Roma.
After moving out, about 90 Roma houses are abandoned. Asked about the possible return of Roma, the locals are of two types: it will not happen almost and it will not happen at all.
