But as the state embarks on a vicious xenophobic campaign against Georgians, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (NDPI), a key nationalist body known among the initiated as the Movement Against Non-Slav Immigration, eagerly called upon its followers to support the state in exposing "the enemy" wherever they can be found - at marketplaces, in offices, at homes.
