The Cabinet on Sunday adopted an 87-page plan for Russia's ethnic policy through 2025 aimed at reducing xenophobia, the government said on its website.
The plan says its main aims are to consolidate people and strengthen their spiritual solidarity while at the same time assisting in the preservation and development of ethnic cultures, teaching patriotism to youth and creating conditions for social and cultural adaptation of migrants.
The plan will implement a document called the 2013-15 Strategy of State National Politics that President Vladimir Putin signed in December.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
