Zenit St Petersburg forward Hulk says he feels hurt after being subjected to racial abuse from visiting Spartak Moscow fans on Saturday.
Hulk, 28, has been no stranger to racial discrimination since moving to Russia from Porto in September 2012 and the forward was the target of monkey chants during Zenit's 0-0 draw with the capital outfit at the Petrovsky Stadium.
The Brazil international revealed to Russian newspaper Sport Express that he could hear the racist taunts during the game and he has consequently urged governing football bodies to take more decisive action on the issue.
"During the game, racist abuse was directed towards me from the Spartak section of the ground," he said.
"In the first half, I clearly heard monkey chants shouted in my direction and this was not only on one occasion. It was coming from a large group of people.
"This happened at least twice -- midway through the first half and during injury time at the end of the first half.
"I take this as a personal insult for me and my club. I think that such things have absolutely no place and the football powers-that-be must take action in the fight against the occurrence of racial hatred."
The Russian Football Union (RFS) confirmed that Hulk's accusations were legitimate and they have responded by banning Spartak Moscow supporters from attending the club's trip to Ural Yekaterinenburg on Oct. 19.
"We have a video of the match... in the 24th minute and in the 45th minute, monkey chanting can be heard being directed at Hulk," said RFS disciplinary committee chief Artur Grigoryants.
"The monkey chants came from the visitors' section of the ground. The match delegate did not hear them during the game, but only afterwards, when he re-watched it."
This is the second major incident concerning racism in the Russian Premier League within the last week.
Only last Thursday, the RFS ruled that Torpedo Moscow close one section of their stadium for the upcoming game against Kuban Krasnodar on Oct. 25 after a number of fans were found guilty of directing monkey chants towards Dynamo Moscow centre-back Christopher Samba.
The French-born Congo international defender also received a two-match ban after displaying an "unpleasant gesture" towards the abusive Torpedo fans, in a game which he demanded to be substituted at half time.
CSKA Moscow also played out their 1-0 Champions League home defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night behind closed doors as a UEFA punishment for racist behaviour and crowd disorder during their opening 5-1 defeat to Roma.
