"English football supporters have caused outrage by singing an anti-Semitic song and throwing Nazi salutes in a local pub before England's World Cup match in Volgograd, [nee Stalingrad] where more than a million Soviet soldiers died to stop the German blitzkrieg.
In a video that was circulating on social media on Wednesday, men can be seen singing a racially offensive song about Tottenham Hotspur in the Galereya Pub in Volgograd.
An employee at the pub told The Telegraph that the incident had occurred on Monday before England beat Tunisia 2-1 at the new Volgograd Arena.
Three men are seen throwing Nazi salutes during the anti-Semitic song, which makes reference to Hitler and Auschwitz, and has been associated with some Chelsea supporters in the past.
The incident threatens to cause tensions between countries during a World Cup that has otherwise been overwhelmingly friendly." [Despite the scores of pre-Cup articles from Western press warning about Russian homophobia. Russian racism, and Russian hooligans.]
