/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Manifestation of racism is a very dangerous
phenomenon for Russia because the Russian Federation is a multinational
and multi-confessional state, Russian President Vladimir Putin said
during an online interview. "We should give a proper counterblow to
this evil, since it undermines our foundations.

Racism is conditioned by many factors, in part by the large flow of
immigrants and the reaction of the local inhabitants, who blame the
government for poor protection of their own rights," Putin remarked. In
his words, these problems should be settled consistently at the
legislative level and with the assistance of the law enforcement
bodies. "Of course, this not sufficient and we should carry out
a great deal of work with the young generation. However any deed
exceeding the frames of the acting legislation will be punished,"
the RF President said.
