This Reuters article is probably closer to the truth! Putin feels Russia is falling apart and is insisting on cultural values being maintained as an integral component of language training and loyalty to the state! It must be alarming that slowing population growth and even decline does not support any confidence in or notions of state security...
We are seeing the early signs of a backlash from world recession in which many countries move towards intolerance as a solution to domestic economic issues.
All the components are there for elements of intolerance to re-emerge in many communities!
