Far-right activists from Russia ’s largest nationalist movement, Russkaya Obshchina , patrolled cities last month .

They raided dormitories, parks, and construction sites in search of migrants from Central Asia .

Frida Ghitis : Putin 's Kremlin has a long history of aiding far-right hate groups involved in violence against immigrants.

She says Putin effectively took over the nationalist agenda when he annexed Crimea and supported a militarized separatist movement in the Donbas region.

Russia registered the arrivals of more than 8.5 million migrant workers last year , including more than a million from Tajikistan .

The country has long attracted immigrants from the Central Asian countries that were once part of the Soviet Union .

Hate toward these immigrants flooded Russia after a Moscow concert hall was attacked by terrorists.
