“We need to take into account the experience of Ukraine. The tragedy of our brothers was caused by the return in the late 80s from places of imprisonment and deportation of those persons who were convicted in the 50s for Bandera activities. Against the backdrop of falling ideological guidelines, the stories of these grandfathers greatly energized the youth of Ukraine. It was possible to implant a not very healthy ideology,” Kobrinsky said at a round table in Moscow.
The expert believes that Russia will face a similar threat when about 3 thousand citizens who are currently fighting in the Middle East on the side of ISIS return to the country.
