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.
