"Russification" of Ukrainians in occupation also harms Russia itself - isw

Xenophobic ideology, according to analysts, makes the Russians hate not only Ukrainians but also non -Slavic ethnic minorities in the Russian Federation itself. The "Russification" of Ukrainians, which Russian invaders spend in the occupied territories, harms Russia. This was stated by analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW).

The new report of April 12 states that the campaign, which is aimed at destroying Ukrainian identity, is accompanied by extremely xenophobic narratives, which are then rejected to nationalities living within the Russian Federation by the Russians. According to analysts, many military, social, economic, legal, bureaucratic and administrative measures occupied in Ukraine occupied by Ukraine to erase Ukrainian identity of locals.

The report also states that Russian warriors and military viewers respond negatively to news related to ethnic minorities in the Russian Federation. For example, many of them have become more likely to criticize migrants from Central Asia and ethnic minorities for their inability to integrate into Russian society.

In addition, the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Basrykin, accused migrants of destabilization of Russia through the import of terrorism and extremist ideologies. The terrorist and former FSB employee Igor Girkin criticized the power of the Tuvinsky Republic for deciding to return the Tuvinsky names 104 administrative and territorial units. "These cases of xenophobia and racism illustrate the essence of internal" Russification ".

The war in Ukraine enabled the most resilient voices in the information space to consolidate their ideology and to adhere to both the Ukrainian people and to non -Slavic minorities in Russia," the report reads . It should be reminded that on April 12, the head of the Wagner PEC Yevgeny Prigogin called for "to break the system" and to mobilize all Russians.

Answering questions about amendments to the Russian Federation on the Military Accounting of "Chef Putin" severely criticized Russian officials, who, he said, only care about their pocket. Most of all, the former Viceremier of Arkady Dvornkovich. In addition, on April 12, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak stated that Belarus is indirectly participating in the war, which was resolved by Russia. The country is even aggressive in that Ukraine loses.
