international day against fascism and antisemitism is marked on November 9.

"If you all have questions in this sphere in Russia, and we note This in our reports, we tended to reduce incidents due to aggressive xenophobia. This is due largely to the adoption of the basic documents, concepts, national policy, strategies of migration policy and plans the implementation of these documents, "said Ford at the round table dedicated to the battle against fascism, in MIA" Russia today ".
