The return of Russians from abroad to the homeland is associated with the growing Russophobic sentiment and the increasing number of migrants in Europe, said the first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on international Affairs Svetlana Zhurova. Her words quoted by the TV channel “360” Thursday, March 9.
“Judging from what my friends say, is, first, the relation to Russian in General, in connection with the sanctions, events, Russophobic sentiments, — said the Deputy. — Each of the Russian guests begin to look under the microscope.”
