The residents of St. Petersburg were beaten on the plane for saying about the Russians.

During the flight, one of the passengers, as the resident of St. Petersburg later found out, asked the conductors to allow him to smoke, however, having met a polite refusal and an explanation why it should not be done, the young man rose from his seat and made a statement insulting Citizens of the Russian Federation. Due to the fact that flight attendants alone could not cope with the man, the assistance was followed by one of the passengers, who struck the trespasser.

According to some reports, a man who insulted Russians with his statement was detained by police officers, and at the moment an investigation is under way against him.
