MOSCOW, May 17. /TASS/. Experts of the Russian Security Council believe that the activity of radical associations and non-systemic opposition encouraging separatist moods in the regions may grow against the background of anti-Russian sanctions, Alexey Pavlov, aide to the secretary of the Security Council, said following a meeting of the Russian Security Council’s scientific council.
"Measures of response to terrorist threats were considered. According to Security Council experts, growing activity of representatives of radical public associations and non-systemic opposition to encourage nationalist and separatist moods in certain regions of our country is not ruled out amid the tightening of anti-Russian sanctions," Pavlov said.
According to the aide, the scientific council focused on spiritual and moral aspects of ensuring national security. This issue has a special place in the Russian National Security Strategy, he reiterated. "The Russian nationals are facing acute problems of civilizational nature, directly linked with the solution of tasks to keep and strengthen Russian spiritual an moral values, traditional for the multinational and multi-confessional people of our country," he stressed.
The meeting also emphasized the importance of seeing the scientists ideologically motivated to make their contribution to the prosperity of the country and its people.
