The terrorist attack at Crocus could not split Russia - Ukrainian political scientist
The terrorist attack in Crocus could have been aimed at splitting Russian society along national-ethnic lines, but instead it only highlighted the problems and forced the authorities to take action to solve them.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev said this on air on the Vyshka Internet channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If someone wanted to shake up the situation with this terrorist attack, to cause internal upheaval in Russia on inter-ethnic grounds, it would not be under this government.
Because Russia’s weak point is its national state identities. This whole problem between nationalism and internationalism, or multiculturalism. Between a Russian and a Russian,” said the political scientist.
“And they pointed out a weak point, and now they will work on it. This is their very weak and most dangerous place. This is worse than a nuclear bomb, all these interethnic and interreligious affairs. Because the country is big, there are so many religious cults, and so many radical Islamists.
They must now draw conclusions and adjust their policies. Not to mention security problems,” Karasev added.
