On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the
Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with
minorities in Russia:
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live
in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should
respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to
go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need
minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special
privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how
loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of
America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The
Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture
or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative
body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national
interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians."
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes.
If you keep this to yourself, you are part of the problem!
I can see his point
