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 ".

He added that his role here was played by the Ukrainian crisis, which led to a split in the ranks of the nationalists. For example, said Ford, yesterday's Russian March that took place in several places in the capital of Russia, and in some regions, " was probably the smallest in the last 10 years, and yesterday caught the leaders of several radical groups ".
