Intensification of nationalists' activity in Russia is connected with
ideological vacuum that appeared after the collapse of the USSR, a
feeling of being aggrieved by the most numerous ethnic groups, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said at his annual news conference in Moscow
today. According to him, governmental agencies do not always
adequately react to such manifestations. Putin cited as one of the
reasons is open borders between the Russian Federation and former USSR
republics, while labor issues are not always solved to the benefit of
Russian citizens. The government should secure interests of foreigners
and Russians as well, the president said. Unsettled nature of those
issues hurts everyone and results in xenophobia and nationalism,
reprts Regnum.
