Social media users demand an apology from Moscow driver for insulting a Dagestani man

A driver of a Moscow bus who responded with insults to attacks of Dagestani native Shugaib Bolatukaev should also apologize for his words. This opinion was voiced by Instagram users after the native of Dagestan publicly apologized for his act.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on January 16, a video was posted on the Internet in which a native of Dagestan, emphasizing his nationality, showered insults and obscene words on bus passengers in Moscow. Later, the young man has apologized for his words in a short video.

On January 17, a video from a bus cab was posted on the Internet, which depicted a young man who approached the driver’s cab and started banging on the glass, urging the driver to stop and using foul language. The driver at first answered calmly, but then he also started to insult the passenger. The driver continued to insult the young man even after he moved away from the driver’s cab and entered into a quarrel with other passengers.

The driver of the Moscow bus, who participated in the conflict with Dagestani native Shugaib Bolatukaev, must apologize for his words, public figure bulach_chankalaev notes on his Instagram page.

On January 18, he wrote on his Instagram page: “Our fellow countryman and his relatives apologized, but I don’t see the apology of the driver, who spoke just as rudely. No one may play a one-way street,” the social media user wrote.

Some social media users agreed that the driver should apologize. “Well done, Bulach. You’re right, no one may always play a one-way street!” commented user uma_askerhanova.
