Their idea is to liberate Russia from all the people coming from the South and starting their business in Northern Russia cities. Here is the transcript of the video.

the effect of Molotov cocktail. Not bad! Now the business of the Southerner. The shoe repair shop. Use your imagination! Don’t think that somebody else can do this for you! Spend a little money but burn up the Southerner’s property! Just imagine what would happen if everyone of us would throw two cocktails to the Southerners’ properties.

This are photos by Alexandre Korolkov from Russian village “Ustje”. This village is remarkable. It is located on the far north of Russia, it’s much closer to American Alaska than to any major Russian cities. Temperatures there don’t get higher than 30-40 Fahrenheit even in the summer!
