MOSCOW - Anti-Americanism is on the rise in Russia, and the consequences are sometimes lethal. Late last week, a 45-year-old Russian beat an acquaintance to death with his fists after a drinking session in Yaroslavl, a city some 160 miles from Moscow. The motive? The victim revealed he often traveled abroad, and his vodka-frazzled assailant told police that he thought he was neutralizing "an American spy."
