In December 2022, during a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, RIA Novosti employee Vyshinsky addressed Vladimir Putin.
He asked whether such a phenomenon as Russophobia would be spelled out in Russian legislation.
RIA Novosti has prepared a document in which this topic is discussed in more detail.
Vyshinsky also appealed to the Russian President to think about what the criminal punishment for Russophobia might be.
The author of the material suggests thinking about how you can punish people who help incite hatred towards Russians.
The President of Russia supported this idea, and this was evidenced by instructions to the State Duma, the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee.
The author of this article notes a high increase in Russophobic sentiments in 2022 after the start of a special military operation.
Vyshinsky believes that Russophobia has become the norm for the modern European community.
